Genesis 24:52-63 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

52. And it came to be, when Aḇraham’s servant heard their words, that he bowed himself towards the earth before יהוה.

53. And the servant brought out ornaments of silver, and ornaments of gold, and garments, and gave them to Riḇqah. He also gave costly gifts to her brother and to her mother.

54. And he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night. When they arose in the morning he said, “Let me go to my master.”

55. But her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us a few days, at least ten, then you go.”

56. And he said to them, “Do not delay me, since יהוה has prospered my way. Let me go so that I go to my master.”

57. And they said, “Let us call the young woman and ask her.”

58. So they called Riḇqah and said to her, “Are you going with this man?” And she said, “I shall go.”

59. So they let go Riḇqah their sister and her nurse, and Aḇraham’s servant and his men.

60. And they blessed Riḇqah and said to her, “Let our sister become the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your seed possess the gates of those who hate them.”

61. And Riḇqah and her young women arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Riḇqah and left.

62. And Yitsḥaq came from the way of Be’ĕr Laḥai Ro’i, for he dwelt in the South.

63. And Yitsḥaq went out to meditate in the field in the evening. And he lifted his eyes and looked and saw the camels coming.
