Genesis 24:5-8 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. But the servant asked, “What if the young woman I choose refuses to leave home and come here with me? Should I send Isaac there to look for a wife?”

6. “No!” Abraham answered. “Don't ever do that, no matter what.

7. The Lord who rules heaven brought me here from the land where I was born and promised that he would give this land to my descendants for ever. When you go back there, the Lord will send his angel ahead of you to help you find a wife for my son.

8. If the woman refuses to come along, you don't have to keep this promise. But don't ever take my son back there.”

63-65. One evening he was walking out in the fields, when suddenly he saw a group of people approaching on camels. So he started towards them. Rebekah saw him coming; she got down from her camel, and asked, “Who is that man?”“He is my master Isaac,” the servant answered. Then Rebekah covered her face with her veil.
