Study note

Genesis 24:57–58

Rebekah chose to leave at once to be with her new husband, which ended the disagreement. She accepted what seemed to be the Lord’s clear leading.

In that culture, young women usually wanted to marry (not marrying brought great shame and hardship). Later stories about Laban help explain why Rebekah may have wanted to leave (compare 31:14–15).

Rebekah showed faithful love to the servant, to Abraham’s family, and to Isaac by going to become his wife.
