The heart of Bethuel was glad; and Rebekah, too, was glad to go; for already she loved the brave lad, Isaac, so proudly had the old servant told the story of his brave deeds and godly life.
So Rebekah, arrayed in a fine raiment, was placed on a camel, and beside her walked her nurse and maids.
The old servant then hurried on, and reached the home of Isaac while yet the maiden and her companions were not beyond the limits of their own land.
He told Isaac all that had happened, and how beautiful and good the maiden was, and that she was of the noble house of Bethuel.
Then Isaac loved the maiden; and, as she came near to Canaan, he hurried forth to meet her, and to bring her to his home and to his people. Old Abraham was glad when he saw the maiden, for he knew God's blessing would rest upon the union.
Abraham was now one hundred and seventy-five years of age; and when he came to die, Rebekah and Isaac laid him beside Sarah in the field of Machpelar, and Isaac took his father's place in the household.
Isaac and Rebekah lived to an old age. They were good people, and the Lord blessed them; and when they came to die, their two sons, Esau and Jacob, wept over them, and laid them, also, beside Abraham in the field of Machpelar.
