So the servant took Rebekah and departed.Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South.And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming.Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel;for she had said to the servant,“ Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said,“ It is my master.” So she took a veil and covered herself.And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her.
