01:024:052 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard
their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
01:024:053 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels
of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her
brother and to her mother precious things.
01:024:054 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with
him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he
said, Send me away unto my master.
01:024:055 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide
with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
01:024:056 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath
prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
01:024:057 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her
mouth.
01:024:058 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go
with this man? And she said, I will go.
01:024:059 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and
Abraham's servant, and his men.
01:024:060 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our
sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed
possess the gate of those which hate them.
01:024:061 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the
camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went
his way.
01:024:062 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he
dwelt in the south country.
01:024:063 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide:
and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were
coming.
01:024:064 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she
lighted off the camel.
01:024:065 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that
walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my
master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
01:024:066 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
01:024:067 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took
Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was
comforted after his mother's death.
01:025:001 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
01:025:002 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian,
and Ishbak, and Shuah.
01:025:003 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan
were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
01:025:004 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and
Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
01:025:005 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
01:025:006 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had,
Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet
lived, eastward, unto the east country.
01:025:007 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which
he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
