Genesis 24:50-60

50Then LabanH3837 and BethuelH1328 answered and saidH559, The thingH1697 proceedeth from Jehovah: we cannot speakH1696 unto thee badH7451 or goodH2896. 51Behold, RebekahH7259 is before thee, takeH3947 her, and go, and let her beH1961 thy master’sH113 son’sH1121 wifeH802, as Jehovah hath spokenH1696. 52And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servantH5650 heardH8085 their wordsH1697, he bowedH7812 himself downH7812 to the earthH776 unto Jehovah. 53And the servantH5650 broughtH3318 forthH3318 jewels of silverH3701, and jewels of goldH2091, and raiment, and gaveH5414 them to RebekahH7259: he gaveH5414 also to her brotherH251 and to her motherH517 preciousH4030 thingsH3627. 54And they did eatH398 and drinkH8354, he and the menH376 that were with him, and tarried all night; and they roseH6965 up in the morningH1242, and he saidH559, SendH7971 me awayH7971 unto my masterH113. 55And her brotherH251 and her motherH517 saidH559, Let the damsel abide with us a few daysH3117, at the least tenH6218; after that she shall go. 56And he saidH559 unto them, Hinder me not, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my wayH1870; sendH7971 me awayH7971 that I may goH7971 to my masterH113. 57And they saidH559, We will callH7121 the damsel, and inquire at her mouthH6310. 58And they calledH7121 RebekahH7259, and saidH559 unto her, Wilt thou go with this manH376? And she saidH559, I will go. 59And they sentH7971 awayH7971 RebekahH7259 their sisterH269, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servantH5650, and his menH376. 60And they blessedH1288 RebekahH7259, and saidH559 unto her, Our sisterH269, beH1961 thou the mother of thousandsH505 of tenH7233 thousandsH505, and let thy seedH2233 possessH3423 the gateH8179 of those that hateH8130 them.
