47. ‘I asked her, “Whose daughter are you?”‘She said, “The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milkah bore to him.”‘Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms,
48. and I bowed down and worshipped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.
49. Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, so I may know which way to turn.’
50. Laban and Bethuel answered, ‘This is from the Lord; we can say nothing to you one way or the other.
51. Here is Rebekah; take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has directed.’
52. When Abraham’s servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the Lord.
53. Then the servant brought out gold and silver jewellery and articles of clothing and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave costly gifts to her brother and to her mother.
54. Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night there.When they got up the next morning, he said, ‘Send me on my way to my master.’
55. But her brother and her mother replied, ‘Let the young woman remain with us ten days or so; then you may go.’
56. But he said to them, ‘Do not detain me, now that the Lord has granted success to my journey. Send me on my way so I may go to my master.’
57. Then they said, ‘Let’s call the young woman and ask her about it.’
58. So they called Rebekah and asked her, ‘Will you go with this man?’‘I will go,’ she said.
59. So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men.
