55. But her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman remain with us a few days, at least ten; after that she may go.”

56. So he said to them, “Do not delay me, seeing the Lord has given me success. Let me go that I may go to my master.”

57. They said, “We will call the girl and ask her.”

58. Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?”And she said, “I will go.”

59. So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men.

60. They blessed Rebekah and said to her, “May you, our sister, become the motherof thousands of ten thousands;and may your descendants possessthe gate of those who hate them.”

61. Then Rebekah and her maids arose and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and went his way.

62. Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the Negev.

63. Isaac went out in the evening to meditate in the field; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and surely the camels were coming.

64. And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from her camel

65. and said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?”The servant said, “It is my master.” Therefore she took a veil and covered herself.

66. Then the servant told Isaac all the things he had done.

67. So Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
