Rebekah Consents to the Marriage

Genesis 24:54-61

And a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go to my master.

And her brother and mother answered: Let the maid stay, at least, ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart.

Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.

And they said: Let us call the maid, and ask her will.

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.
