Genesis 24:50-61

50Then Laban and Bethuel answered, and they said, “The matter proceeds from Adonai. We cannot speak to you bad or good.

51Rebekah is before you. Take her and go, and let her become a wife for our master’s son, just as Adonai has spoken.”

52Now when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground to Adonai.

53Then the servant brought out articles of silver and gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brothers and to her mother.

54Then they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and spent the night. When they arose in the morning, he said, “Send me off to my master.”

55But her brother with her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us a few days—or ten. Afterwards she may go.”

56But he said to them, “Don’t delay me, since Adonai has made my way successful. Send me off so that I can go to my master.”

57So they said, “We’ll call the young woman and let’s ask her opinion.”

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

59So they sent Rebekah their sister off with her nanny, 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 seed possess the gate of those who hate him.”

61Then Rebekah got up, with her maids, and they mounted the camels and followed after the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.
