Genesis 24:50-61

50And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah: we cannot speak to thee bad or good.

51Behold, Rebecca is before thee: take [her], and go away; and let her be wife of thy master's son, as Jehovah has said.

52And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed down to the earth before Jehovah.

53And the servant brought forth silver articles, and gold articles, and clothing, and he gave [them] to Rebecca; and he gave to her brother, and to her mother, precious things.

54And they ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and lodged. And they rose up in the morning; and he said, Send me away to my master.

55And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us [some] days, or [say] ten; after that she shall go.

56And he said to them, Do not hinder me, seeing Jehovah has prospered my way: send me away, and I will go to my master.

57And they said, Let us call the maiden and inquire at her mouth.

58And they called Rebecca and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

59And they sent away Rebecca their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

60And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; mayest thou become thousands of tens of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gate of their enemies!

61And Rebecca arose, and her maids, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebecca, and went away.
