Genesis 24:50-61

50Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, "The thing has come from the Lord; we cannot speak to you bad or good.

51Behold, Rebekah is before you; take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as the Lord has spoken."

52When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth before the Lord.

53And the servant brought out jewelry of silver and of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave to her brother and to her mother costly ornaments.

54And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he said, "Send me away to my master."

55Her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go."

56But he said to them, "Do not delay me, since the Lord has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master."

57They said, "Let us call the young woman and ask her."

58And they called Rebekah and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."

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

60And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, "Our sister, may you become thousands of ten thousands, and may your offspring possess the gate of those who hate him!"

61Then Rebekah and her young women arose and rode on the camels and followed the man. Thus the servant took Rebekah and went his way.
