Conclusion of Isaac Gets a Good Wife

When Re-bek'ah finished doing this, Abraham's servant asked her the name of her father. He also asked if he could stay overnight at their home.  She said:  'My father is Be-thu'el, and there is room for you to stay with us.' Abraham's servant knew that Be-thu'el was the son of Abraham's brother Na'hor. So he knelt down and thanked Jehovah for leading him to Abraham's relatives.

That night Abraham's servant told Be-thu'el and Re-bek'ah's brother La'ban why he had come.  They both agreed that Re-bek'ah  could with him and marry Isaac.  What did Re-bek'ah say when she was asked? She said, 'Yes, she wanted to go.  So the very next da7y they got on the camels and began the long trip back to Ca'naan. 

When they arrived, it was evening time.  Re-bek'ah saw a man walking in the field. It was Isaac. He was glad to see Re-bek'ah.  His mother Sarah had just died three years before, and was still sad about this.  But now Isaac came to love Re-bek'ah very much and he was happy again.
