50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “(A)The matter comes from Yahweh; (B)so we cannot speak to you bad or good. 51 Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master’s son, as Yahweh has spoken.”

52 Now it happened that when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he (C)bowed himself to the ground [a]before Yahweh. 53 The servant brought out (D)articles of silver and articles of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother. 54 Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night. And then they arose in the morning, and he said, “(E)Send me away to my master.” 55 But her brother and her mother said, “(F)Let the young woman stay with us a few days, or even ten; afterward she will go.” 56 And he said to them, “Do not delay me, since (G)Yahweh has made my way successful. Send me away that I may go to my master.” 57 And they said, “We will call the young woman and ask about [b]her wishes.” 58 Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.” 59 Thus they sent away their sister Rebekah and (H)her nurse with Abraham’s servant and his men. 60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her,

“May you, our sister,
(I)Become thousands of ten thousands,
And may (J)your seed possess
The gate of those who hate him.”
