Genesis 24:52

And it came to pass, that when Abraham's servant heard these
words
That Laban and Bethuel said; and no doubt but the mother of Rebekah, and she herself consented that she should be the wife of Isaac, believing it was agreeable to the will of God: he worshipped the Lord, [bowing himself] to the earth;
in the most humble manner he prostrated himself before the Lord, acknowledging his kindness, and goodness, his faithfulness and truth, his power and his providence in this affair.

Genesis 24:52 In-Context

50 Lavan and B'tu'el replied, "Since this comes from ADONAI, we can't say anything to you either bad or good.
51 Rivkah is here in front of you; take her and go. Let her be your master's son's wife, as ADONAI has said."
52 When Avraham's servant heard what they said, he prostrated himself on the ground to ADONAI.
53 Then the servant brought out silver and gold jewelry, together with clothing, and gave them to Rivkah. He also gave valuable gifts to her brother and mother.
54 He and his men then ate and drank and stayed the night. In the morning they got up; and he said, "Send me off to my master."
