the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and
herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
36 And Sarah
my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he
hath.
37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters
of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred,
and take a wife unto my son.
39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow
me.
40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper
thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
41 Then shalt
thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou
shalt be clear from my oath.
42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master
Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go;
43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall
come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee,
a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy
camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.
45 And
before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and
she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
46 And she
made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink
also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art
thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the
earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped
the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to
take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my
master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
50 Then Laban and
Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or
good.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as
the LORD hath spoken.
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he
worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and
jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother
precious things.
54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and
they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
55 And her brother and her
mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
56 And he
said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go
to my master.
57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
58 And they called
Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
59 And they sent away
Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 And they blessed Rebekah,
and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed
possess the gate of those which hate them.
61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode
upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 And Isaac
came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.
63 And Isaac went out to meditate
in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
64
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
65 For she had said
unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is
my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he
had done.
67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became
his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
Gen.25
1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan,
and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the
sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher,
and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all
that he had unto Isaac.
6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts,
and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
