Genesis 24:28-58

Wedding Arrangements

Rebekah ran home to tell of the man she had met and gifts he had given. She also planned to finalize plans for him to stay with her family. Laban, her brother, ran to bring the servant from the well to their house. The camels were fed, the servant's feet washed and food placed before him. Then, he began to tell the story of Abraham's plan for his son Isaac's wedding. He included a brief report his prayer and God's answer.

Bethuel and Laban knew this was the Lord's doing, so they agreed to let Rebekah marry Isaac. After the servant had again thanked God, he gave jewelry of silver and gold to Rebekah, along with clothing. He also gave gifts to the rest of the family. The next morning, the servant wanted to leave for Hebron. Laban and his mother asked him to stay ten days. However, the servant said he wanted to return to his master because such a success had been achieved. They called Rebekah to ask her and she consented to go (Genesis 24:28-58).
