worſhipped the LORD, and bleſſed the LORD God of my maſter Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take [1] my maſter's brother's daughter unto his ſon.
49 And now if ye will [2] 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, [3] The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot [4] ſpeak unto thee bad or good.
51 Behold, Rebekah [5] 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 [6] worſhipped the LORD, bowing himſelf to the earth.
53 And the ſervant brought forth †† Heb. veſſels. [7] jewels of ſilver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave alſo to her brother and to her mother [8] 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, [9] Send me away unto my maſter.
55 And her brother and her mother ſaid, Let the damſel abide with us ‖‖ Or, a full year, or ten months.
Judg. 14. 8. 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 enquire 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 [10] her nurſe, and Abraham's ſervant, and his men.
60 And they bleſſed Rebekah, and ſaid unto her, Thou art our ſiſter, be thou [11] the mother of thouſands of millions, and [12] 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 [13] well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the ſouth country.
63 And Iſaac went out ‖‖ Or, to pray. [14] 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, [15] 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 [16] was comforted after his mother's death.
