Genesis 24:59-60-66-67 The Message (MSG)

59-60. So they sent them off, their sister Rebekah with her nurse, and Abraham’s servant with his men. And they blessed Rebekah saying,You’re our sister—live bountifully!And your children, triumphantly!

61. Rebekah and her young maids mounted the camels and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah and set off for home.

62-65. Isaac was living in the Negev. He had just come back from a visit to Beer Lahai Roi. In the evening he went out into the field; while meditating he looked up and saw camels coming. When Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac, she got down from her camel and asked the servant, “Who is that man out in the field coming toward us?”“That is my master.”She took her veil and covered herself.

66-67. After the servant told Isaac the whole story of the trip, Isaac took Rebekah into the tent of his mother Sarah. He married Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her. So Isaac found comfort after his mother’s death.
