Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.
Genesis 24:62-67
We are finishing chapter twenty four today. The Tanakh tells us where Isaac was and that he was there to meditate. Then he sees the camels arriving.
Rebekah sees him and gets off her camel. In one short paragraph, the two see each other and when they arrive, the servant tells the story of how he found Rebekah. Isaac takes her and goes toward Sarah's tent. V'yi-kach (and he took) Rebekah, and she was his wife. Just like that, happily married.
Continuing
Now Isaac had returned from Beer-lahai-roi and was dwelling in the Negeb. And Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, there were camels coming. And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel and said to the servant, "Who is that man, walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took her veil and covered herself. And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. Then Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death
The story continues next week , Abraham and his next six children...
