Genesis 24:61

And Rebekah arose, and her damsels

that Abraham's servant had brought with him: and followed the man;
who rode before and directed the way; the sense is only, that she went along with him: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way;
took her under his care, and to be the wife of his master's son, at the hands of her friends, and then set forward on his journey.
