Genesis 24:59 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:59

And they sent away Rebekah their sister
Not in a pet or angry humour, but with good will; they agreed she should go, and took their leave in a very honourable and affectionate manner. This is to be understood of her brother Laban, and of other brethren and sisters she might have; though by the connection of the words with the preceding, they seem to design her brother and mother, who spoke last; and probably all her relations are meant, who call her their sister, because so nearly related to them: and her nurse:
who had been her nurse in former times, as Aben Ezra observes, in her infancy, for whom she had a particular affection, as is often the case; her name was Deborah, as appears from ( Genesis 35:8 ) : and Abraham's servant, and his men;
who were dismissed in an handsome manner by the family.

57 They said, "Summon the young woman, and let's ask her opinion."

58 They called Rebekah and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."

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

60 And they blessed Rebekah, saying to her, "May you, our sister, become thousands of ten thousand; may your children possess their enemies' cities."

61 Rebekah and her young women got up, mounted the camels, and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.
