Genesis 24:50-57 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

50. Laban and Bethuel answered, "The Lord has done all of this. We can't say anything to you one way or the other.

51. Here is Rebekah. Take her and go. Let her become the wife of your master's son, just as the Lord has said."

52. Abraham's servant heard what they said. So he bowed down to the Lord with his face to the ground.

53. He brought out gold and silver jewelry. He brought out articles of clothing. He gave all of it to Rebekah. He also gave expensive gifts to her brother and her mother.

54. Then Abraham's servant and the men who were with him ate and drank. They spent the night there. They got up the next morning. Abraham's servant said, "Send me back to my master."

55. But her brother and her mother replied, "Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so. Then you can go."

56. But he said to them, "Don't make me wait. The Lord has given me success on my journey. Send me on my way so I can go to my master."

57. Then they said, "Let's get Rebekah. We'll ask her about it."
