62 Now Isaac had come back from [a]a journey to (A)Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in (B)the [b]Negev. 63 Isaac went out (C)to [c]meditate in the field toward evening; and (D)he raised his eyes and looked, and behold, camels were coming. 64 Rebekah raised her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel. 65 She said to the servant, “Who is that man walking in the field to meet us?” And the servant said, “He is my master.” Then she took her [d]veil and covered herself. 66 The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. 67 Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and (E)he took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and (F)he loved her; so Isaac was comforted after (G)his mother’s death.
