Then the servant gave Isaac the story of all he had done.
And said to the servant, Who is that man coming to us through the field? And the servant said, It is my master: then she took her veil, covering her face with it.
And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.
And Isaac took Rebekah into his tent and she became his wife; and in his love for her, Isaac was comforted after his father's death.
Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;
Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.
See, here is Rebekah: take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has said.
And with bent head I gave worship and praise to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, by whom I had been guided in the right way, to get the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
And when the evening was near, he went wandering out into the fields, and lifting up his eyes he saw camels coming.
So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.
And they said, We will send for the girl, and let her make the decision.
Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.
And at these words, Abraham's servant went down on his face and gave praise to the Lord.
And questioning her, I said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, and Milcah his wife. Then I put the ring on her nose and the ornaments on her hands.
And they sent for Rebekah and said to her, Are you ready to go with this man? And she said, I am ready.
And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master.
So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men.
Then Laban and Bethuel said in answer, This is the Lord's doing: it is not for us to say Yes or No to you.
And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do.
Then he took jewels of silver and jewels of gold and fair robes and gave them to Rebekah: and he gave things of value to her mother and her brother.
And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.
But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.
Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South.
And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them.
So Ephron's field at Machpelah near Mamre, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,
And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.
And Abraham said to his chief servant, the manager of all his property, Come now, put your hand under my leg:
And with bent head the man gave worship to the Lord;
And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.
