52. When Abraham’s servant heard this, he bowed to the ground before the Lord.
53. Then he gave Rebekah the gifts he brought. He gave her beautiful clothes and gold and silver jewelry. He also gave expensive gifts to her mother and brother.
54. Then he and his men had something to eat and drink, and they spent the night there. Early the next morning they got up and the servant said, “Now we must go back to my master.”
55. Rebekah’s mother and her brother said, “Let Rebekah stay with us for a short time. Let her stay with us ten days. After that she can go.”
56. But the servant said to them, “Don’t make me wait. The Lord has made my trip successful. Now let me go back to my master.”
57. Rebekah’s brother and mother said, “We will call Rebekah and ask her what she wants to do.”
58. They called her and asked her, “Do you want to go with this man now?” Rebekah said, “Yes, I will go.”
59. So they allowed Rebekah to go with Abraham’s servant and his men. Her nurse also went with them.
60. While Rebekah was leaving they said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of millions of people, and may your descendants defeat their enemies and take their cities.”
