Genesis 24:49-65 World English Bible (WEB)

49. Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”

50. Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can’t speak to you bad or good.

51. Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Yahweh has spoken.”

52. When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.

53. The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.

54. They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”

55. Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”

56. He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”

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

58. They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”

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

60. They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”

61. Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

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

63. Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.

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

65. She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
