He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys. 36 Sarah, my master’s wife, bore him a son in her old age, and he has given him everything he owns. 37 My master made me swear an oath, saying, 'You must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I live. 38 Instead, you must go to my father's household and to my family to take a wife for my son.' 39 Then I said to my master, 'What if the woman does not come back with me?' 40 He answered me, 'The Lord, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you and make your journey successful, so that you can take a wife for my son from my family and my father's household. 41 'You will be released from my oath if you go to my family and they refuse to give her to you. Then you will be free from my oath.' 42 So today I came to the spring and prayed, 'Lord, God of my master Abraham, if you are making my journey successful, 43 see, I am standing beside this spring. If a young woman comes out to draw water and I say to her, "Please give me a little water from your jar to drink," 44 and she says to me, "Drink, and I will draw water for your camels too," let her be the one the Lord has chosen for my master's son.' 45 Before I had finished speaking to myself, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, drew water, and I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.' 46 She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I will water your camels also.' So I drank, and she also watered the camels. 47 Then I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her arms. 48 Then I bowed down and worshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who led me on the right path to take the daughter of my master’s kinsman for his son. 49 Now if you are willing to show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me. If not, tell me, so that I may turn to the right or to the left. 50 Laban and Bethuel answered, 'This matter comes from the Lord; we cannot say good or bad to you.' 51 Here is Rebekah; take her and go. Let her become the wife of your master's son, as the Lord has spoken. 52 When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground before the Lord. 53 Then he brought out gold and silver jewelry and clothing and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave costly gifts to her brother and her mother. 54 Then he and the men with him ate and drank and spent the night there. When they got up the next morning, he said, 'Send me on my way to my master.' 55 But her brother and her mother said, 'Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so; then you may go.' 56 But he said to them, 'Do not delay me. The Lord has given success to my journey. Send me on my way so that I may go to my master.' 57 Then they said, 'Let’s call the young woman and ask her about it.' 58 So they called Rebekah and asked her, 'Will you go with this man?' She replied, 'I will go.' 59 So they sent away their sister Rebekah, along with her nurse, Abraham's servant, and his men. 60 They blessed Rebekah and said to her, "Our sister, may you become thousands upon thousands. May your offspring possess the gate of their enemies." 61 Then Rebekah and her young women got up, mounted the camels, and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed. 62 Now Isaac had come from Beer-lahai-roi, for he was living in the Negev. 63 He went out to meditate in the field toward evening. As he looked up, he saw camels approaching. 64 Rebekah also looked up, and when she saw Isaac, she got down from the camel. 65 She said to the servant, 'Who is that man walking in the field to meet us?' The servant replied, 'He is my master.' So she took her veil and covered herself. 66 Then the servant recounted to Isaac everything he had done. 67 Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. She became his wife, and he loved her. Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
