62At this time Isaac had returned from Beer Lahai Roi. He was now living in the Negev. 63It was evening time. Isaac went out to walk in the fields. He looked up and he saw some camels. They were coming towards him. Rebekah also looked up and she saw Isaac. She got down from her camel. 65She asked Abraham's servant, ‘I see a man in the field who is coming towards us.
