Genesis 24:54-60

54Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night [there]. In the morning when they got up, he said, “Now send me back to my master.”

55But Rebekah’s brother and mother said, “Let the girl stay with us a few days—at least ten; then she may go.”

56But Eliezer said to them, “Do not delay me, since the Lord has prospered my way. Send me away, so that I may go back to my master.”

57And they said, “We will call the girl and ask her what she prefers.”

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

59So they sent off their sister Rebekah and her nurse [Deborah, as her attendant] and Abraham’s servant [Eliezer] and his men.

60They blessed Rebekah and said to her, “May you, our sister, Become [the mother of] thousands of ten thousands, And may your descendants possess (conquer) The [city] gate of those who hate them.”
