Chapter 24
A Wife for Isaac
1
By now Abraham was old and well along in years, and [[YHWH|the LORD]] had blessed him in every way.
וְאַבְרָהָ֣ם זָקֵ֔ן בָּ֖א בַּיָּמִ֑ים וַֽיהוָ֛ה בֵּרַ֥ךְ אֶת־ אַבְרָהָ֖ם בַּכֹּֽל׃ wə·’aḇ·rā·hām zā·qên bā bay·yā·mîm Yah·weh bê·raḵ ’eṯ- ’aḇ·rā·hām bak·kōl — WLC · 1
Καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἦν πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκὼς ἡμερῶν, καὶ κύριος εὐλόγησεν τὸν Ἀβραὰμ κατὰ πάντα. — LXX Swete · 1
2
So Abraham instructed… the chief servant of his household, who managed all he owned “Place… your hand under my thigh,
אַבְרָהָ֗ם וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶל־ זְקַ֣ן עַבְדּוֹ֙ בֵּית֔וֹ הַמֹּשֵׁ֖ל בְּכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ ל֑וֹ שִֽׂים־ נָ֥א יָדְךָ֖ תַּ֥חַת יְרֵכִֽי׃ ’aḇ·rā·hām way·yō·mer ’el- zə·qan ‘aḇ·dōw bê·ṯōw ham·mō·šêl bə·ḵāl ’ă·šer- lōw śîm- nā yā·ḏə·ḵā ta·ḥaṯ yə·rê·ḵî — WLC · 2

3
and I will have you swear by [[YHWH|the LORD]], the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am dwelling,
וְאַשְׁבִּ֣יעֲךָ֔ בַּֽיהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וֵֽאלֹהֵ֖י הָאָ֑רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹֽא־ תִקַּ֤ח אִשָּׁה֙ לִבְנִ֔י מִבְּנוֹת֙ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֔י בְּקִרְבּֽוֹ׃ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָנֹכִ֖י יוֹשֵׁ֥ב wə·’aš·bî·‘ă·ḵā Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·hê haš·šā·ma·yim wê·lō·hê hā·’ā·reṣ ’ă·šer lō- ṯiq·qaḥ ’iš·šāh liḇ·nî mib·bə·nō·wṯ hak·kə·na·‘ă·nî bə·qir·bōw ’ă·šer ’ā·nō·ḵî yō·wō·šêḇ — WLC · 3

4
but will go to my country and my kindred to take a wife for my son Isaac.”
כִּ֧י תֵּלֵ֑ךְ אֶל־ אַרְצִ֛י וְאֶל־ מוֹלַדְתִּ֖י וְלָקַחְתָּ֥ אִשָּׁ֖ה לִבְנִ֥י לְיִצְחָֽק׃ kî tê·lêḵ ’el- ’ar·ṣî wə·’el- mō·w·laḏ·tî wə·lā·qaḥ·tā ’iš·šāh liḇ·nî lə·yiṣ·ḥāq — WLC · 4

5
The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling… to follow me… to this land? Shall I then take your son back… to the land from which you came?”
הָעֶ֔בֶד וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ אוּלַי֙ הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה לֹא־ תֹאבֶ֣ה לָלֶ֥כֶת אַחֲרַ֖י אֶל־ הַזֹּ֑את הָאָ֣רֶץ הֶֽהָשֵׁ֤ב בִּנְךָ֔ אָשִׁיב֙ אֶת־ אֶל־ הָאָ֖רֶץ מִשָּֽׁם׃ אֲשֶׁר־ יָצָ֥אתָ hā·‘e·ḇeḏ way·yō·mer ’ê·lāw ’ū·lay hā·’iš·šāh lō- ṯō·ḇeh lā·le·ḵeṯ ’a·ḥă·ray ’el- haz·zōṯ hā·’ā·reṣ he·hā·šêḇ bin·ḵā ’ā·šîḇ ’eṯ- ’el- hā·’ā·reṣ miš·šām ’ă·šer- yā·ṣā·ṯā — WLC · 5

6
Abraham replied,… “Make sure that you do not take my son back there.
אַבְרָהָ֑ם וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו הִשָּׁ֣מֶר לְךָ֔ פֶּן־ בְּנִ֖י תָּשִׁ֥יב אֶת־ שָֽׁמָּה׃ ’aḇ·rā·hām way·yō·mer ’ê·lāw hiš·šā·mer lə·ḵā pen- bə·nî tā·šîḇ ’eṯ- šām·māh — WLC · 6
εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἀβραὰμ Πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸν υἱόν μου ἐκεῖ· — LXX Swete · 6
7
The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me from my father’s house and my native land, who spoke to me and promised me on oath…, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land’— He will send His angel before you so that you can take a wife for my son from there.

8
And if the woman is unwilling… to follow you, then you are released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”
וְאִם־ הָֽאִשָּׁה֙ לֹ֨א תֹאבֶ֤ה לָלֶ֣כֶת אַחֲרֶ֔יךָ וְנִקִּ֕יתָ זֹ֑את מִשְּׁבֻעָתִ֖י רַ֣ק אֶת־ לֹ֥א תָשֵׁ֖ב בְּנִ֔י שָֽׁמָּה׃ wə·’im- hā·’iš·šāh lō ṯō·ḇeh lā·le·ḵeṯ ’a·ḥă·re·ḵā wə·niq·qî·ṯā zōṯ miš·šə·ḇu·‘ā·ṯî raq ’eṯ- lō ṯā·šêḇ bə·nî šām·māh — WLC · 8

9
So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.
הָעֶ֙בֶד֙ אֶת־ וַיָּ֤שֶׂם יָד֔וֹ תַּ֛חַת יֶ֥רֶךְ אֲדֹנָ֑יו אַבְרָהָ֖ם וַיִּשָּׁ֣בַֽע ל֔וֹ עַל־ הַזֶּֽה׃ הַדָּבָ֖ר hā·‘e·ḇeḏ ’eṯ- way·yā·śem yā·ḏōw ta·ḥaṯ ye·reḵ ’ă·ḏō·nāw ’aḇ·rā·hām way·yiš·šā·ḇa‘ lōw ‘al- haz·zeh had·dā·ḇār — WLC · 9

10
Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels… and departed with all manner of good things from his master in hand. And he set out… for Nahor’s hometown vvv in Aram-naharaim.
הָ֠עֶבֶד וַיִּקַּ֣ח עֲשָׂרָ֨ה אֲדֹנָיו֙ גְמַלִּ֜ים מִגְּמַלֵּ֤י וַיֵּ֔לֶךְ וְכָל־ ט֥וּב אֲדֹנָ֖יו בְּיָד֑וֹ וַיָּ֗קָם וַיֵּ֛לֶךְ אֶל־ אֶל־ נָחֽוֹר׃ עִ֥יר אֲרַ֥ם נַֽהֲרַ֖יִם hā·‘e·ḇeḏ way·yiq·qaḥ ‘ă·śā·rāh ’ă·ḏō·nāw ḡə·mal·lîm mig·gə·mal·lê way·yê·leḵ wə·ḵāl ṭūḇ ’ă·ḏō·nāw bə·yā·ḏōw way·yā·qām way·yê·leḵ ’el- ’el- nā·ḥō·wr ‘îr ’ă·ram na·hă·ra·yim — WLC · 10

11
As evening approached…, he made the camels kneel down near the well… outside the town at the time when the women went out to draw water.

12
“O LORD, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “please grant me success today…, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
יְהוָ֗ה אֱלֹהֵי֙ אֲדֹנִ֣י אַבְרָהָ֔ם וַיֹּאמַ֓ר׀ נָ֥א הַקְרֵה־ לְפָנַ֖י הַיּ֑וֹם וַעֲשֵׂה־ חֶ֕סֶד עִ֖ם אֲדֹנִ֥י אַבְרָהָֽם׃ Yah·weh ’ĕ·lō·hê ’ă·ḏō·nî ’aḇ·rā·hām way·yō·mar nā haq·rêh- lə·p̄ā·nay hay·yō·wm wa·‘ă·śêh- ḥe·seḏ ‘im ’ă·ḏō·nî ’aḇ·rā·hām — WLC · 12

13
Here I am, standing beside the spring…, and the daughters of the townspeople… are coming out to draw water.
הִנֵּ֛ה אָנֹכִ֥י נִצָּ֖ב עַל־ עֵ֣ין הַמָּ֑יִם וּבְנוֹת֙ אַנְשֵׁ֣י הָעִ֔יר יֹצְאֹ֖ת לִשְׁאֹ֥ב מָֽיִם׃ hin·nêh ’ā·nō·ḵî niṣ·ṣāḇ ‘al- ‘ên ham·mā·yim ū·ḇə·nō·wṯ ’an·šê hā·‘îr yō·ṣə·’ōṯ liš·’ōḇ mā·yim — WLC · 13

14
Now may it happen that the girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well’— let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. By this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

Rebekah Is Chosen
15
- Before [the servant] had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.
וַֽיְהִי־ טֶרֶם֮ ה֗וּא כִּלָּ֣ה לְדַבֵּר֒ וְהִנֵּ֧ה רִבְקָ֣ה יֹצֵ֗את וְכַדָּ֖הּ עַל־ שִׁכְמָֽהּ׃ אֲשֶׁ֤ר יֻלְּדָה֙ לִבְתוּאֵ֣ל בֶּן־ מִלְכָּ֔ה אֵ֥שֶׁת אַבְרָהָ֑ם אֲחִ֣י נָח֖וֹר way·hî- ṭe·rem hū kil·lāh lə·ḏab·bêr wə·hin·nêh riḇ·qāh yō·ṣêṯ wə·ḵad·dāh ‘al- šiḵ·māh ’ă·šer yul·lə·ḏāh liḇ·ṯū·’êl ben- mil·kāh ’ê·šeṯ ’aḇ·rā·hām ’ă·ḥî nā·ḥō·wr — WLC · 15

16
Now the girl was very beautiful…, a virgin… who had not had relations with any man. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up again.
וְהַֽנַּעֲרָ֗ מְאֹ֔ד טֹבַ֤ת מַרְאֶה֙ בְּתוּלָ֕ה לֹ֣א יְדָעָ֑הּ וְאִ֖ישׁ וַתֵּ֣רֶד הָעַ֔יְנָה וַתְּמַלֵּ֥א כַדָּ֖הּ וַתָּֽעַל׃ wə·han·na·‘ă·rā mə·’ōḏ ṭō·ḇaṯ mar·’eh bə·ṯū·lāh lō yə·ḏā·‘āh wə·’îš wat·tê·reḏ hā·‘ay·nāh wat·tə·mal·lê ḵad·dāh wat·tā·‘al — WLC · 16

17
So the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me have a little water from your jar.”
הָעֶ֖בֶד וַיָּ֥רָץ לִקְרָאתָ֑הּ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר נָ֛א הַגְמִיאִ֥ינִי מְעַט־ מַ֖יִם מִכַּדֵּֽךְ׃ hā·‘e·ḇeḏ way·yā·rāṣ liq·rā·ṯāh way·yō·mer nā haḡ·mî·’î·nî mə·‘aṭ- ma·yim mik·kad·dêḵ — WLC · 17
ἐπέδραμεν δὲ ὁ παῖς εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν Πότισόν με μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου. — LXX Swete · 17
18
“Drink, my lord,” she replied, and she quickly lowered her jar to her hands and gave him a drink.
שְׁתֵ֣ה אֲדֹנִ֑י וַתֹּ֖אמֶר וַתְּמַהֵ֗ר וַתֹּ֧רֶד כַּדָּ֛הּ עַל־ יָדָ֖הּ וַתַּשְׁקֵֽהוּ׃ šə·ṯêh ’ă·ḏō·nî wat·tō·mer wat·tə·ma·hêr wat·tō·reḏ kad·dāh ‘al- yā·ḏāh wat·taš·qê·hū — WLC · 18

19
After she had given him a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels, until… they have had enough to drink.”

καὶ εἶπεν καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι ἕως ἄν πᾶσαι πίωσιν. — LXX Swete · 19
20
And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the well to draw water, until she had drawn water for all his camels.
וַתְּמַהֵ֗ר וַתְּעַ֤ר כַּדָּהּ֙ אֶל־ הַשֹּׁ֔קֶת וַתָּ֥רָץ ע֛וֹד אֶֽל־ הַבְּאֵ֖ר לִשְׁאֹ֑ב וַתִּשְׁאַ֖ב לְכָל־ גְּמַלָּֽיו׃ wat·tə·ma·hêr wat·tə·‘ar kad·dāh ’el- haš·šō·qeṯ wat·tā·rāṣ ‘ō·wḏ ’el- hab·bə·’êr liš·’ōḇ wat·tiš·’aḇ lə·ḵāl gə·mal·lāw — WLC · 20

21
Meanwhile, the man watched her silently to see whether or not [[YHWH|the LORD]] had made his journey a success.
וְהָאִ֥ישׁ מִשְׁתָּאֵ֖ה לָ֑הּ מַחֲרִ֕ישׁ לָדַ֗עַת אִם־ לֹֽא׃ יְהוָ֛ה דַּרְכּ֖וֹ הַֽהִצְלִ֧יחַ wə·hā·’îš miš·tā·’êh lāh ma·ḥă·rîš lā·ḏa·‘aṯ ’im- lō Yah·weh dar·kōw ha·hiṣ·lî·aḥ — WLC · 21

22
And after the camels had finished drinking, [he] took out a gold ring weighing a beka, and two gold bracelets for her wrists weighing ten [shekels].

23
“Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”

24
She replied,… “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milcah bore to Nahor.”

25
Then she added…, “We have… plenty of straw and feed, as well as a place [for you] to spend the night.”

26
Then the man bowed down and worshiped [[YHWH|the LORD]],

saying, “Blessed [be] [[YHWH|the LORD]], the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld His kindness and faithfulness from my master. As for me, [[YHWH|the LORD]] has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”

Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and [he] rushed out to the man at the spring.

- As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard -… Rebekah’s words, “The man said this to me,” he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.

31
“Come, you who are blessed by [[YHWH|the LORD]],” said Laban. “Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”

So the man came to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and feed were brought to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of his companions -.

33
Then a meal was set before [the man], but he said, “I will not… eat until… I have told you what I came to say.” So Laban said, “Please speak.”

My master made me swear an oath and said, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I dwell,

but… you shall go to my father’s house and to my kindred to take a wife for my son.’

And when you go to my kindred, - if they refuse to give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.’

So when I came to the spring today, I prayed: O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if only You would… make my journey -… a success!

Here I am, standing beside this spring… Now [if] a maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your jar,’

and she replies…, ‘Drink,… and I will draw water for your camels as well,’… may she be the woman [[YHWH|the LORD]] has appointed for my master’s son.

45
And before I had finished praying in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her jar on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’

She quickly lowered her jar from her [shoulder] and said, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well.’ So I drank, and she also watered the camels.

Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’… She replied, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.

Then I bowed down and worshiped [[YHWH|the LORD]]; and I blessed [[YHWH|the LORD]], the God of my master Abraham, who led me on the right road to take the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.

Then he brought out jewels of silver… and gold, and articles of clothing, and he gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brother and her mother.

Then he and the men 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.”

But her brother and mother said, “Let the girl remain with us ten days or so. After that, she may go.”

56
But he replied…, “Do not delay me, since [[YHWH|the LORD]] has made my journey a success. Send me on my way so that I may go to my master.”

57
So they said, “We will call the girl and ask her opinion.”

They called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” “I will go,” she replied.

So they sent their sister Rebekah {on her way}, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men.

60
And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands upon thousands. May your offspring possess the gates of their enemies.”

61
Then Rebekah and her servant girls got ready, mounted… the camels, and followed… the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.

Isaac Marries Rebekah

Now Isaac had just returned from vvv vvv Beer-lahai-roi, for he was living in the Negev…

Early in the evening, Isaac went out to the field to meditate,… and looking up,… he saw… the camels approaching.

64
And when Rebekah looked up - and saw Isaac, she got down from her camel

and asked… the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?” “It is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.

66
Then the servant told Isaac all… that he had done.

And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and took Rebekah as his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after his mother’s death.
