Génesis 24:50-67

Listen to Génesis 24:50-67
50 Labán y Betuel respondieron:—Sin duda todo esto proviene del SEÑOR, y nosotros no podemos decir ni que sí ni que no.
51 Aquí está Rebeca; tómela usted y llévesela para que sea la esposa del hijo de su amo, tal como el SEÑOR lo ha dispuesto.
52 Al escuchar esto, el criado de Abraham se postró en tierra delante del SEÑOR.
53 Luego sacó joyas de oro y de plata, y vestidos, y se los dio a Rebeca. También entregó regalos a su hermano y a su madre.
54 Más tarde, él y sus acompañantes comieron y bebieron, y pasaron allí la noche.A la mañana siguiente, cuando se levantaron, el criado de Abraham dijo:—Déjenme ir a la casa de mi amo.
55 Pero el hermano y la madre de Rebeca le respondieron:—Que se quede la joven con nosotros unos diez días, y luego podrás irte.
56 —No me detengan —repuso el criado—. El SEÑOR ha prosperado mi viaje, así que déjenme ir a la casa de mi amo.
57 —Llamemos a la joven, a ver qué piensa ella —respondieron.
58 Así que llamaron a Rebeca y le preguntaron:—¿Quieres irte con este hombre?—Sí —respondió ella.
59 Entonces dejaron ir a su hermana Rebeca y a su nodriza con el criado de Abraham y sus acompañantes.
60 Y bendijeron a Rebeca con estas palabras:«Hermana nuestra:¡que seas madre de millares!¡Que dominen tus descendienteslas ciudades de sus enemigos!»
61 Luego Rebeca y sus criadas se prepararon, montaron en los camellos y siguieron al criado de Abraham. Así fue como él tomó a Rebeca y se marchó de allí.
62 Ahora bien, Isaac había vuelto del pozo de Lajay Roí, porque vivía en la región del Néguev.
63 Una tarde, salió a dar un paseo[a] por el campo. De pronto, al levantar la vista, vio que se acercaban unos camellos.
64 También Rebeca levantó la vista y, al ver a Isaac, se bajó del camello
65 y le preguntó al criado:—¿Quién es ese hombre que viene por el campo a nuestro encuentro?—Es mi amo —contestó el criado.Entonces ella tomó el velo y se cubrió.
66 El criado le contó a Isaac todo lo que había hecho.
67 Luego Isaac llevó a Rebeca a la carpa de Sara, su madre, y la tomó por esposa. Isaac amó a Rebeca, y así se consoló de la muerte de su madre.

Génesis 24:50-67 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 24

This chapter shows Abraham's concern to get a suitable wife for his son Isaac, for which purpose he commits the affair into the hands of his eldest servant, and makes him swear that he will not take one from among the Canaanites, but out of his own country, and from among his own kindred, Ge 24:1-4; which his servant agreed to, after having the nature of his charge, and of the oath, explained to him, Ge 24:5-9; upon which he departed to Mesopotamia, and coming to the city of Nahor, and to a well near it, he prayed for success, and desired direction by a token, which was granted him, Ge 24:10-22; and inquiring of the damsel, who answered to the token, whose daughter she was, and whether they had room for him and his in their house; and an agreeable answer being returned, he gave thanks to God that had directed him, and had so far made his journey prosperous, Ge 24:23-27; the damsel acquainting her parents whom and what she met with at the well, a brother of her steps out, and invites the servant in, and makes him welcome, Ge 24:28-33; but before he would eat anything, he tells his errand he was come upon, at the instance of his master; how, he had prayed for direction, and was heard, and for which he had given thanks, Ge 24:34-48; and then treats with the relations of the damsel about her marriage to his master's son, to which they agreed, Ge 24:49-51; and after having blessed God, and given his presents he brought with him to the damsel, and her family, and ate and drank with them, was for departing the next morning, Ge 24:52-54; but the friends of the damsel being desirous of her stay with them some few days, and he urgent to be gone, the affair was referred to her, and she agreed to go with him directly, Ge 24:55-58; upon which they dismissed her with their blessing, Ge 24:59,60; who being met by Isaac in the way, was received and introduced into his mother's tent, and married by him, Ge 24:61-67.
