49
Q

Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, so I may know which way to turn.”

A

But he said to them, “Do not detain me, now that the LORD has granted success to my journey. Send me on my way so I may go to my master.”

57
Q

A

Then they said, “Let’s call the girl and ask her about it.”

Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
