Genesis 24:50-61
50Then LabanH3837 and BethuelH1328 repliedH6030, “1The matterH1697 comesH3318 from the LordH3068; 2so we cannotH3201H3808 speakH1696 to you badH7451 orH176 goodH2896. 51HereH2009 is RebekahH7259 beforeH6440 you, takeH3947 her and goH1980, and let her be the wifeH802 of your master’sH113 sonH1121, as the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.”
52WhenH3512 Abraham’sH85 servantH5650 heardH8085 their wordsH1697, he 3bowedH7812 himself to the groundH776 4before the LordH3068. 53The servantH5650 broughtH3318 out 5articlesH3627 of silverH3701 and articlesH3627 of goldH2091, and garmentsH899, and gaveH5414 them to RebekahH7259; he also gaveH5414 preciousH4030 thingsH4030 to her brotherH251 and to her motherH517. 54Then he and the menH376 whoH834 were with him ateH398 and drankH8354 and spentH3885 the nightH3885. When they aroseH6965 in the morningH1242, he saidH559, “6SendH7971 me awayH7971 to my masterH113.” 55But her brotherH251 and her motherH517 saidH559, “7Let the girlH5291 stayH3427 with us a few daysH3117, sayH176 tenH6218; afterwardH310 she may goH1980.” 56He saidH559 to them, “Do not delayH309 me, since 8the LordH3068 has prosperedH6743 my wayH1870. SendH7971 me awayH7971 that I may goH1980 to my masterH113.” 57And they saidH559, “We will callH7121 the girlH5291 and 9consultH7592 her wishesH6310.” 58Then they calledH7121 RebekahH7259 and saidH559 to her, “Will you goH1980 with thisH2088 manH376?” And she saidH559, “I will goH1980.” 59Thus they sentH7971 awayH7971 their sisterH269 RebekahH7259 and 10her nurseH3243 with Abraham’sH85 servantH5650 and his menH376. 60They blessedH1288 RebekahH7259 and saidH559 to her, “May you, our sisterH269, 11BecomeH1961 thousandsH505 of tenH7233 thousandsH7233, And may 12your 13descendantsH2233 possessH3423 The gateH8179 of those who hateH8130 them.” 61Then RebekahH7259 aroseH6965 with her maidsH5291, and they mountedH7392 the camelsH1581 and followedH1980H310 the manH376. So the servantH5650 tookH3947 RebekahH7259 and departedH1980.
