buried Sarah.

his house to find a wife for Isaac. Abraham made him swear that
he would not take a wife from the people of Canaan. And he promised
take he would take a wife from Abraham's relatives. He also made
him promise not to take Isaac with him.

wife for Isaac. Her name was Rebekah. Her brother and father said
that she could marry Isaac. Then the servant gave Rebekah, her brother,
and her mother many gifts.
The next day Rebekah left with Abraham's servant. Rebekah's nurse
and maids also went with her.
As they were traveling, Rebekah looked up and saw a man. She found
