Genesis 24:56-65 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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."

58. So they sent for her. They asked her, "Will you go with this man?" "Yes," she said.

59. So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way with Abraham's servant and his men. They also sent Rebekah's attendant with her.

60. And they gave Rebekah their blessing. They said to her, "Dear sister, may your family grow by thousands and thousands. May your children after you take over the cities of their enemies."

61. Then Rebekah and her female servants got ready. They got on their camels to go with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.

62. By that time Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi. He was living in the Negev Desert.

63. One evening he went out to the field. He wanted to spend some time thinking. When he looked up, he saw camels approaching.

64. Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel.

65. She asked the servant, "Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?" "He's my master," the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered her face.
