PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE REBEKAH GEN 22:20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; GEN 22:21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, GEN 22:22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. GEN 22:23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. GEN 24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. GEN 24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. GEN 24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. GEN 24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. GEN 24:19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking. GEN 24:20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. GEN 24:21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not. GEN 24:22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold; GEN 24:23 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in? GEN 24:24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. GEN 24:25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. GEN 24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD. GEN 24:27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren. GEN 24:28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things. GEN 24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well. GEN 24:30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well. GEN 24:31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels. GEN 24:32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him. GEN 24:33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on. GEN 24:34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant. GEN 24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses. GEN 24:36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath. GEN 24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell: GEN 24:38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son. GEN 24:39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. GEN 24:40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house: GEN 24:41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. GEN 24:42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go: GEN 24:43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink; GEN 24:44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son. GEN 24:45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee. GEN 24:46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also. GEN 24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands. GEN 24:48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son. GEN 24:49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left. GEN 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. GEN 24:51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken. GEN 24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth. GEN 24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things. GEN 24:54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master. GEN 24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go. GEN 24:56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master. GEN 24:57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth. GEN 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go. GEN 24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. GEN 24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them. GEN 24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way. GEN 24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country. GEN 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming. GEN 24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. GEN 24:65 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself. GEN 24:66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. GEN 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death. GEN 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. GEN 25:21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. GEN 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. GEN 25:23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. GEN 25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. GEN 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. GEN 25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. GEN 25:27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. GEN 25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. GEN 26:6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: GEN 26:7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon. GEN 26:8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. GEN 26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. GEN 26:10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. GEN 26:11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. GEN 26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: GEN 26:35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah. GEN 27:5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. GEN 27:6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, GEN 27:7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death. GEN 27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. GEN 27:9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth: GEN 27:10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. GEN 27:11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: GEN 27:12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. GEN 27:13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. GEN 27:14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved. GEN 27:15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son: GEN 27:16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: GEN 27:17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. GEN 27:41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. GEN 27:42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. GEN 27:43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; GEN 27:44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away; GEN 27:45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day? GEN 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me? GEN 49:31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
