REBEKAH

GEN 22:20  And it came to pass after these things, that it was told 
Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy 
brother Nahor;

21  Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,

22  And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

23  And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, 
Abraham's brother.

24:15  And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, 
Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of 
Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

16  And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any 
man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and 
came up.

17  And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a 
little water of thy pitcher.

18  And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher 
upon her hand, and gave him drink.

19  And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for 
thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

20  And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again 
unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

21  And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD 
had made his journey prosperous or not.

22  And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took 
a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands 
of ten shekels weight of gold;

23  And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room 
in thy father's house for us to lodge in?

24  And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, 
which she bare unto Nahor.

25  She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, 
and room to lodge in.

26  And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.

27  And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not 
left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, 
the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

28  And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.

29  And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out 
unto the man, unto the well.

30  And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his 
sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, 
Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he 
stood by the camels at the well.

31  And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou 
without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

32  And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave 
straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the 
men's feet that were with him.

33  And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, 
until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.

34  And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

35  And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: 
and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and 
menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

36  And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: 
and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

37  And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my 
son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:

38  But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a 
wife unto my son.

39  And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

40  And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel 
with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my 
kindred, and of my father's house:

41  Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my 
kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

42  And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master 
Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

43  Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that 
when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I 
pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

44  And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy 
camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my 
master's son.

45  And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came 
forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, 
and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

46  And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and 
said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she 
made the camels drink also.

47  And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, the 
daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the 
earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

48  And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD 
God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my 
master's brother's daughter unto his son.

49  And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and 
if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

50  Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the 
LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

51  Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy 
master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

52  And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he 
worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.

53  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.

54  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.

55  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.

56  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.

57  And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.

58  And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? 
And she said, I will go.

59  And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's 
servant, and his men.

60  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.

61  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.

62  And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the 
south country.

63  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.

64  And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off 
the camel.

65  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.

66  And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

67  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.

25:20  And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the 
daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the 
Syrian.

21  And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and 
the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22  And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be 
so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

23  And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner 
of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be 
stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

24  And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were 
twins in her womb.

25  And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they 
called his name Esau.

26  And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's 
heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old 
when she bare them.

27  And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; 
and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

28  And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah 
loved Jacob.

26:6  And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

7  And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my 
sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the 
place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.

8  And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech 
king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac 
was sporting with Rebekah his wife.

9  And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy 
wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, 
Because I said, Lest I die for her.

10  And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the 
people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have 
brought guiltiness upon us.

11  And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man 
or his wife shall surely be put to death.

34  And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter 
of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

35  Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.

27:5  And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to 
the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.

6  And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father 
speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,

7  Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless 
thee before the LORD before my death.

8  Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command 
thee.

9  Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the 
goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:

10  And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may 
bless thee before his death.

11  And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a 
hairy man, and I am a smooth man:

12  My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a 
deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.

13  And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey 
my voice, and go fetch me them.

14  And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his 
mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.

15  And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with 
her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:

16  And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon 
the smooth of his neck:

17  And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, 
into the hand of her son Jacob.

41  And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father 
blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father 
are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

42  And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she 
sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy 
brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill 
thee.

43  Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my 
brother to Haran;

44  And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;

45  Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which 
thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why 
should I be deprived also of you both in one day?

46  And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the 
daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as 
these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do 
me?

49:31  There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried 
Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.

ROM 9:10  And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, 
even by our father Isaac;
