Rebekah

And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.

Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.

²⁹ Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he rushed out to the man at the spring.

³⁰ As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard Rebekah’s words, “The man said this to me,” he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.

And before I had finished praying in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her jar on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’

⁵¹ Rebekah is here before you. Take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, just as the LORD has decreed.”

⁵² When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.

⁵³ Then he brought out jewels of silver and gold, and articles of clothing, and he gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brother and her mother.

⁵⁸ They called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” “I will go,” she replied.

⁵⁹ So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men.

⁶⁰ And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands upon thousands. May your offspring possess the gates of their enemies.”

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

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

And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and took Rebekah as his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after his mother’s death.

¹⁹ This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,

²⁰ and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.

²¹ Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.

Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
