Rebekah

And Bathuel, of whom was born Rebecca: these eight did Melcha bear to Nachor, Abraham's brother.

He had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder:

And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well.

And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister's hands, and had heard all that she related, saying, Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water,

And whilst I pondered these things secretly with myself, Rebecca appeared, coming with a pitcher, which she carried on her shoulder: and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her: Give me a little to drink.

Behold, Rebecca is before thee, take her and go thy way, and let her be the wife of thy master's son, as the Lord hath spoken.

And bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, and garments, he gave them to Rebecca, for a present. He offered gifts also to her brothers, and to her mother.

And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go.

So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his company.

Wishing prosperity to their sister, and saying: Thou art our sister, mayst thou increase to thousands of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gates of their enemies.

So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.

Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the camel,

Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death.

Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.

And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.

Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.

And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister: for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.

And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech, king of the Palestines, looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca, his wife.

And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.

And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfil his father's commandment,

She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau, thy brother, and saying to him:

And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am smooth:

And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:

These things were told to Rebecca: and she sent and called Jacob, her son, and said to him: Behold Esau, thy brother, threateneth to kill thee.

And Rebecca said to Isaac: I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the stock of this land, I choose not to live.
