AḆRAHAM 156

1 So I called unto me Eli’ezer, my trusted companion who had been with me since we had come out of the city of Shalom, and I said unto him, Put now thine hand under my thigh and swear unto me before the Most High Elohim that thou shalt go unto the city of Ḥaran and bring thence Riḇqah, daughter of Bethu’ĕl son of Naḥor my brother to be a wife unto my son Yitsḥaq according to the Word of  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, but if the maiden refuse to come with thee, thou shalt be free of this thine oath.

2 So Eli’ezer swore before the Most High Elohim and departed from me in peace.

3 He also pursued his journey to Ḥaran and found Riḇqah, even as I had said, and returned with her after the return of my son Yitsḥaq from the city of Shalom.

4 Thus Yitsḥaq took Riḇqah to wife when he was forty years old, he having four other wives; but Riḇqah he took to wife in the tent of Sarah.

5 And Riḇqah bare no children; wherefore I knew that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 should work a marvelous work in her even as in Sarah before her.

6 Therefore, my heart rejoiced in Riḇqah, the wife of my son Yitsḥaq, for she was pure and virtuous like unto Sarah my beloved who had preceded me into the rest of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
