Context of Genesis 24:64
62And Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi; for he was dwelling in the south country. 63And Isaac had gone out to meditate in the fields toward the beginning of evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, camels were coming.

And the servant said, That is my master! Then she took the veil, and covered herself. 66And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
