Chapter 24
Bride for Isaac
1 καὶ Ἁβραὰμ ἦν πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκὼς ἡμερῶν, καὶ κύριος εὐλόγησεν τὸν Ἁβραὰμ κατὰ πάντα. 1 And Abraham was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraham in all things.
2 καὶ εἶπεν Ἁβραὰμ τῷ παιδὶ αὐτοῦ τῷ πρεσβυτέρῳ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ τῷ ἄρχοντι πάντων τῶν αὐτοῦ θὲς τὴν χεῖρά σου ὑπὸ τὸν μηρόν μου, 3 καὶ ἐξορκιῶ σὲ κύριον τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τὸν θεὸν τῆς γῆς, ἵνα μὴ λάβῃς γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ἰσαὰκ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων, μεθ' ὧν ἐγὼ οἰκῶ ἐν αὐτοῖς, 4 ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου, οὗ ἐγενόμην, πορεύσῃ καὶ εἰς τὴν φυλήν μου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ἰσαὰκ ἐκεῖθεν. 2 And Abraham said to his servant, the eldest of his house, the ruler of all his possessions, "Put your hand under my thigh, 3 and I will adjure you by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; 4 but you shall go to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and you shall take a wife for my son Isaac from there."
5 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ παῖς, μήποτε οὐ βούλεται ἡ γυνὴ πορευθῆναι μετ' ἐμοῦ ὀπίσω εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην· ἀποστρέψω τὸν υἱόν σου εἰς τὴν γῆν, ὅθεν ἐξῆλθες ἐκεῖθεν; 6 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτόν, Ἁβραὰμ πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ, μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸν υἱόν μου ἐκεῖ. 7 κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὁ θεὸς τῆς γῆς, ὃς ἔλαβέν με ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἐγενήθην, ὃς ἐλάλησέν μοι καὶ ὤμοσέν μοι λέγων, σοί δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου, αὐτὸς ἀποστελεῖ τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ ἔμπροσθέν σου, καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ἰσαὰκ ἐκεῖθεν. 8 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ θέλῃ ἡ γυνὴ πορευθῆναι μετὰ σου εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην, καθαρὸς ἔσῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὅρκου τούτου· μόνον τὸν υἱόν μου μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς ἐκεῖ. 9 καὶ ἔθηκεν ὁ παῖς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὑπὸ τὸν μηρὸν Ἁβραὰμ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος τούτου. 5 And the servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me back to this land; shall I return your son to the land from which you came out?" 6 And Abraham said to him, "Take heed to yourself, that you do not return my son there. 7 The Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, 'To you I will give this land and to your seed,' He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son Isaac from there. 8 But if the woman is not willing to follow you to this land, you shall be clear of this oath; only do not return my son there." 9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ παῖς δέκα καμήλους ἀπὸ τῶν καμήλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ μεθ' ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν Ναχώρ. 11 καὶ ἐκοίμισεν τὰς καμήλους ἔξω τῆς πόλεως παρὰ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὕδατος τὸ πρὸς ὀψέ, ἡνίκα ἐκπορεύονται αἱ ὑδρευόμεναι. 10 And the servant took ten of his lord's camels and of all his lord's goods with him, and he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor. 11 And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water toward evening, at the time when the women come out to draw water.
12 καὶ εἶπεν κύριε ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ, εὐόδωσον ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ σήμερον καὶ ποίησον ἔλεος μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ. 13 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος, αἱ δὲ θυγατέρες τῶν οἰκούντων τὴν πόλιν ἐκπορεύονται ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ, 14 καὶ ἔσται ἡ παρθένος, ᾗ ἄν ἐγὼ εἴπω, ἐπίκλινον τὴν ὑδρίαν σου, ἵνα πίω, καὶ εἴπῃ μοι, πίε, καὶ τὰς καμήλους σου ποτιῶ, ἕως ἄν παύσωνται πίνουσαι, ταύτην ἡτοίμασας τῷ παιδί σου Ἰσαάκ, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι ἐποίησας ἔλεος τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἁβραάμ. 12 And he said, "O Lord, God of my lord Abraham, prosper me this day and show mercy to my lord Abraham. 13 Behold, I stand by the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of the city are coming out to draw water. 14 And let it be that the virgin to whom I shall say, 'Lean down your jar that I may drink,' and she shall say, 'Drink, and I will water your camels also until they have finished drinking'—this is the one You have prepared for Your servant Isaac; and by this I shall know that You have shown mercy to my lord Abraham."
Rebekah is Chosen
15 καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸ τοῦ συντελέσαι αὐτὸν λαλοῦντα ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ, καὶ ἰδοὺ Ῥεβέκκα ἐξεπορεύετο ἡ τεχθεῖσα Βαθουὴλ υἱῷ Μελχὰς τῆς γυναικὸς Ναχὼρ ἀδελφοῦ δὲ Ἁβραὰμ ἔχουσα τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτῆς. 16 ἡ δὲ παρθένος ἦν καλὴ τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα· παρθένος ἦν, ἀνὴρ οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτήν. καταβᾶσα δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν ἔπλησεν τὴν ὑδρίαν καὶ ἀνέβη. 17 ἐπέδραμεν δὲ ὁ παῖς εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν, πότισόν με μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου. 18 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, πίε, κύριε. καὶ ἔσπευσεν καὶ καθεῖλεν τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονα αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτόν, 19 ἕως ἐπαύσατο πίνων. καὶ εἶπεν, καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι, ἕως ἄν πᾶσαι πίωσιν. 20 καὶ ἔσπευσεν καὶ ἐξεκένωσεν τὴν ὑδρίαν εἰς τὸ ποτιστήριον καὶ ἔδραμεν ἔτι ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἀντλῆσαι καὶ ὑδρεύσατο πάσαις ταῖς καμήλοις. 21 ὁ δὲ ἄνθρωπος κατεμάνθανεν αὐτὴν καὶ παρεσιώπα τοῦ γνῶναι εἰ εὐόδωκεν κύριος τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ οὔ. 15 And it happened before he had finished speaking in his mind, behold, Rebecca came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Melcha, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, having her jar on her shoulders. 16 And the virgin was very beautiful in appearance; she was a virgin, no man had known her. Having gone down to the spring, she filled her jar and came up. 17 And the servant ran to meet her and said, "Give me a little water to drink from your jar." 18 And she said, "Drink, lord." And she hurried and lowered the jar upon her arm and gave him a drink 19 until he finished drinking. And she said, "I will draw water for your camels too, until they have all drunk." 20 And she hurried and emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, and she drew for all the camels. 21 And the man was observing her and kept silent to know whether the Lord had prospered his way or not.
22 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἐπαύσαντο πᾶσαι αἱ κάμηλοι πίνουσαι, ἔλαβεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐνώτια χρυσᾶ ἀνὰ δραχμὴν ὁλκῆς καὶ δύο ψέλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς, δέκα χρυσῶν ὁλκὴ αὐτῶν. 23 καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπεν, θυγάτηρ τίνος εἶ; ἀνάγγειλόν μοι· εἰ ἔστιν παρὰ τῷ πατρί σου τόπος ἡμῖν καταλῦσαι; 24 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, θυγάτηρ Βαθουὴλ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ τοῦ Μελχάς, ὃν ἔτεκεν τῷ Ναχώρ. 25 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἄχυρα καὶ χορτάσματα πολλὰ παρ' ἡμῖν καὶ τόπος τοῦ καταλῦσαι. 26 καὶ εὐδοκήσας ὁ ἄνθρωπος προσεκύνησεν κυρίῳ 27 καὶ εἶπεν, εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ, ὃς οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπεν τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου μου· ἐμὲ εὐόδωκεν κύριος εἰς οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου. 28 καὶ δραμοῦσα ἡ παῖς ἀπήγγειλεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα. 22 And it happened when all the camels had finished drinking, the man took golden earrings of a drachma in weight and two bracelets for her hands, ten gold pieces in their weight. 23 And he asked her and said, "Whose daughter are you? Tell me; is there a place for us to lodge at your father's house?" 24 And she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nahor." 25 And she said to him, "There is both straw and much fodder with us, and a place to lodge." 26 And the man, being well-pleased, worshipped the Lord 27 and said, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of my lord Abraham, who has not forsaken His righteousness and His truth from my lord; the Lord has prospered my way to the house of my lord’s brother." 28 And the girl ran and reported these things to her mother’s house.
29 τῇ δὲ Ῥεβέκκα ἀδελφὸς ἦν, ᾧ ὄνομα Λαβάν· καὶ ἔδραμεν Λαβὰν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἔξω ἐπὶ τὴν πηγήν. 30 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα εἶδεν τὰ ἐνώτια καὶ τὰ ψέλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅτε ἤκουσεν τὰ ῥήματα Ῥεβέκκας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ λεγούσης, οὕτως λελάληκέν μοι ὁ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκότος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν καμήλων ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς 31 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, δεῦρο εἴσελθε· εὐλογητὸς κύριος· ἵνα τί ἕστηκας ἔξω; ἐγὼ δὲ ἡτοίμακα τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ τόπον ταῖς καμήλοις. 32 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ἀπέσαξεν τὰς καμήλους. καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄχυρα καὶ χορτάσματα ταῖς καμήλοις καὶ ὕδωρ νίψασθαι τοῖς ποσίν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς ποσίν τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν μετ' αὐτοῦ. 33 καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ἄρτους φαγεῖν. καὶ εἶπεν, οὐ μὴ φάγω ἕως τοῦ λαλῆσαί με τὰ ῥήματά μου. καὶ εἶπαν λάλησον. 34 καὶ εἶπεν, παῖς Ἁβραὰμ ἐγώ εἰμι. 29 Now Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to the man at the spring. 30 And it happened when he saw the earrings and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister saying, "Thus the man spoke to me," he went to the man, and behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring. 31 And he said to him, "Come in, blessed of the Lord; why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house and a place for the camels." 32 And the man entered the house and unloaded the camels. And he gave straw and fodder to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him. 33 And he set bread before them to eat. But he said, "I will not eat until I have spoken my words." And they said, "Speak." 34 And he said, "I am Abraham's servant."
35 κύριος δὲ εὐλόγησεν τὸν κύριόν μου σφόδρα, καὶ ὑψώθη· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας, καμήλους καὶ ὄνους. 36 καὶ ἔτεκεν Σάρρα ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ κυρίου μου υἱὸν ἕνα τῷ κυρίῳ μου μετὰ τὸ γηρᾶσαι αὐτόν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ. 37 καὶ ὥρκισέν με ὁ κύριός μου λέγων, οὐ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων, ἐν οἷς ἐγὼ παροικῶ ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν, 38 ἀλλ' ἢ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου πορεύσῃ καὶ εἰς τὴν φυλήν μου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἐκεῖθεν. 35 "And the Lord has blessed my lord greatly, and he has been exalted; and He has given him sheep and calves, silver and gold, male and female servants, camels and donkeys. 36 And Sarah, my lord's wife, bore one son to my lord after he had grown old, and he has given to him all that he had. 37 And my lord made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I sojourn; 38 but you shall go to the house of my father and to my tribe, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.'
39 εἶπα δὲ τῷ κυρίῳ μου, μήποτε οὐ πορεύσεται ἡ γυνὴ μετ' ἐμοῦ. 40 καὶ εἶπέν μοι κύριος, ᾧ εὐηρέστησα ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς ἀποστελεῖ τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ μετὰ σου καὶ εὐοδώσει τὴν ὁδόν σου, καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς μου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου. 41 τότε ἀθῷος ἔσῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρᾶς μου· ἡνίκα γὰρ ἐὰν ἔλθῃς εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν φυλὴν καὶ μή σοί δῶσιν, καὶ ἔσῃ ἀθῷος ἀπὸ τοῦ ὁρκισμοῦ μου. 39 And I said to my lord, 'Perhaps the woman will not go with me.' 40 And he said to me, 'The Lord, before whom I have been well-pleasing, will Himself send His angel with you and will prosper your way, and you shall take a wife for my son from my tribe and from the house of my father. 41 Then you shall be innocent of my curse; for whenever you come to my tribe and they do not give her to you, you shall be innocent of my oath.'
42 καὶ ἐλθὼν σήμερον ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν εἶπα, κύριε ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ, εἰ σὺ εὐοδοῖς τὴν ὁδόν μου, ἣν νῦν ἐγὼ πορεύομαι ἐπ' αὐτήν, 43 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐφέστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῆς πόλεως ἐξελεύσονται ὑδρεύσασθαι ὕδωρ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ παρθένος, ᾗ ἄν ἐγὼ εἴπω, πότισόν με μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου, 44 καὶ εἴπῃ μοι, καὶ σὺ πίε, καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι, αὕτη ἡ γυνή, ἣν ἡτοίμασεν κύριος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ θεράποντι Ἰσαάκ, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι πεποίηκας ἔλεος τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἁβραάμ. 42 And having come today to the spring, I said, 'O Lord, God of my lord Abraham, if You are prospering my way in which I am now traveling, 43 behold, I have stood by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city shall come out to draw water, and let it be that the virgin to whom I shall say, "Give me a little water to drink from your jar," 44 and she shall say to me, "You drink, and I will draw water for your camels also"—this is the woman whom the Lord has prepared for His own servant Isaac; and by this I shall know that You have shown mercy to my lord Abraham.'
45 καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸ τοῦ συντελέσαι με λαλοῦντα ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ εὐθὺς Ῥεβέκκα ἐξεπορεύετο ἔχουσα τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων καὶ κατέβη ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν καὶ ὑδρεύσατο. εἶπα δὲ αὐτῇ, πότισόν με. 46 καὶ σπεύσασα καθεῖλεν τὴν ὑδρίαν αὐτῆς ἀφ' ἑαυτῆς καὶ εἶπεν, πίε σύ, καὶ τὰς καμήλους σου ποτιῶ. καὶ ἔπιον, καὶ τὰς καμήλους μου ἐπότισεν. 47 καὶ ἠρώτησα αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπα, τίνος εἶ θυγάτηρ ἡ δὲ ἔφη θυγάτηρ; Βαθουὴλ εἰμὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ναχώρ, ὃν ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Μελχά. καὶ περιέθηκα αὐτῇ τὰ ἐνώτια καὶ τὰ ψέλια περὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς· 48 καὶ εὐδοκήσας προσεκύνησα κυρίῳ καὶ εὐλόγησα κύριον τὸν θεὸν τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἁβραάμ, ὃς εὐόδωσέν μοι ἐν ὁδῷ ἀληθείας λαβεῖν τὴν θυγατέρα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ. 49 εἰ οὖν ποιεῖτε ὑμεῖς ἔλεος καὶ δικαιοσύνην πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου, ἀπαγγείλατε μοι, εἰ δὲ μή, ἀπαγγείλατε μοι, ἵνα ἐπιστρέψω εἰς δεξιὰν ἢ εἰς ἀριστεράν. 45 And it happened before I had finished speaking in my mind, immediately Rebecca came out having the jar on her shoulders, and she went down to the spring and drew water. And I said to her, 'Give me a drink.' 46 And she hurried and lowered her jar from herself and said, 'You drink, and I will water your camels.' And I drank, and she watered my camels. 47 And I asked her and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' And she said, 'I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, whom Melcha bore to him.' And I put the earrings on her and the bracelets around her hands. 48 And being well-pleased, I worshipped the Lord and blessed the Lord, the God of my lord Abraham, who prospered me in a way of truth to take the daughter of my lord's brother for his son. 49 Now therefore, if you are going to show mercy and justice toward my lord, tell me; but if not, tell me, so that I may turn to the right or to the left.'"
50 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Λαβὰν καὶ Βαθουὴλ εἶπαν, παρὰ κυρίου ἐξῆλθεν τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦτο· οὐ δυνησόμεθα οὖν σοί ἀντειπεῖν κακὸν καλῷ. 51 ἰδοὺ Ῥεβέκκα ἐνώπιόν σου· λαβὼν ἀπότρεχε, καὶ ἔστω γυνὴ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ κυρίου σου, καθὰ ἐλάλησεν κύριος. 52 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν παῖδα τὸν Ἁβραὰμ τῶν ῥημάτων τούτων προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν κυρίῳ. 53 καὶ ἐξενέγκας ὁ παῖς σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ χρυσᾶ καὶ ἱματισμὸν ἔδωκεν Ῥεβέκκα καὶ δῶρα ἔδωκεν τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτῆς καὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς. 54 καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ ὄντες, καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν. καὶ ἀναστὰς πρωῒ εἶπεν, ἐκπέμψατέ με, ἵνα ἀπέλθω πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου. 55 εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῆς καὶ ἡ μήτηρ, μεινάτω ἡ παρθένος μεθ' ἡμῶν ἡμέρας ὡσεὶ δέκα καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπελεύσεται. 56 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, μὴ κατέχετέ με καὶ κύριος εὐόδωσεν τὴν ὁδόν μου ἐκπέμψατέ με ἵνα ἀπέλθω πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου. 57 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, καλέσωμεν τὴν παῖδα καὶ ἐρωτήσωμεν τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς. 58 καὶ ἐκάλεσαν Ῥεβέκκαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ, πορεύσῃ μετὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου; ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, πορεύσομαι. 59 καὶ ἐξέπεμψαν Ῥεβέκκαν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν παῖδα τὸν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ τοὺς μετ' αὐτοῦ. 60 καὶ εὐλόγησαν Ῥεβέκκαν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ ἀδελφὴ ἡμῶν εἶ· γίνου εἰς χιλιάδας μυριάδων, καὶ κληρονομησάτω τὸ σπέρμα σου τὰς πόλεις τῶν ὑπεναντίων. 61 ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Ῥεβέκκα καὶ αἱ ἅβραι αὐτῆς ἐπέβησαν ἐπὶ τὰς καμήλους καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ἀναλαβὼν ὁ παῖς τὴν Ῥεβέκκαν ἀπῆλθεν. 50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, "This matter has come from the Lord; we cannot therefore speak to you evil or good. 51 Behold, Rebecca is before you; take her and go, and let her be the wife of your lord's son, just as the Lord has spoken." 52 And it happened when Abraham’s servant heard these words, he worshipped the Lord upon the earth. 53 And the servant brought out silver and gold vessels and clothing and gave them to Rebecca, and he gave gifts to her brother and to her mother. 54 And they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and they slept. And having risen in the morning, he said, "Send me away, that I may go to my lord." 55 But her brothers and her mother said, "Let the virgin stay with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart." 56 But he said to them, "Do not hinder me, since the Lord has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my lord." 57 And they said, "Let us call the girl and ask her mouth (her opinion)." 58 And they called Rebecca and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she said, "I will go." 59 And they sent away Rebecca their sister and her belongings and Abraham’s servant and those with him. 60 And they blessed Rebecca their sister and said to her, "Our sister you are; may you become thousands of myriads, and may your seed inherit the cities of their adversaries." 61 And Rebecca and her maids arose and mounted the camels and went with the man; and the servant took Rebecca and departed.
Isaac Marries Rebekah
62 Ἰσαὰκ δὲ ἐπορεύετο διὰ τῆς ἐρήμου κατὰ τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ὁράσεως· αὐτὸς δὲ κατῴκει ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ πρὸς λίβα. 63 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰσαὰκ ἀδολεσχῆσαι εἰς τὸ πεδίον τὸ πρὸς δείλης καὶ ἀναβλέψας τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδεν καμήλους ἐρχομένας. 64 καὶ ἀναβλέψασα Ῥεβέκκα τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδεν τὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ κατεπήδησεν ἀπὸ τῆς καμήλου 65 καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδί, τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὁ πορευόμενος ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ εἰς συνάντησιν ἡμῖν; εἶπεν δὲ ὁ παῖς, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κύριός μου. ἡ δὲ λαβοῦσα τὸ θέριστρον περιεβάλετο. 66 καὶ διηγήσατο ὁ παῖς τῷ Ἰσαὰκ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ἃ ἐποίησεν. 67 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ Ἰσαὰκ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν Ῥεβέκκαν, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ γυνή, καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτήν· καὶ παρεκλήθη Ἰσαὰκ περὶ Σάρρας τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ. 62 Now Isaac was traveling through the wilderness by the Well of the Vision (Beer-lahai-roi); for he dwelt in the land toward the south. 63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening, and looking up with his eyes, he saw camels coming. 64 And Rebecca, looking up with her eyes, saw Isaac and leaped down from the camel 65 and said to the servant, "Who is that man walking in the field to meet us?" And the servant said, "This is my lord." And she took her veil and covered herself. 66 And the servant related to Isaac all the things he had done. 67 And Isaac entered into his mother’s house and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted concerning Sarah his mother.
