Genesis 24:56-67 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

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.

64. And Riḇqah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Yitsḥaq she dismounted from her camel,

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

66. And the servant told Yitsḥaq all the matters he had done.

67. And Yitsḥaq brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent. And he took Riḇqah and she became his wife, and he loved her. Thus Yitsḥaq was comforted after his mother’s death.
