Genesis 24:63

Isaac
Stillness and meditationPrayer

61 Then Rebekah and her servant girls got ready, mounted the camels, and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.

62 Now Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi, for he was living in the Negev.

Early in the evening, Isaac went out to the field to meditate, and looking up, he saw the camels approaching.

64 And when Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac, she got down from her camel

65 and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?” “It is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.
