Genesis 24:5

24:5 The servant asked him, “What if the woman is not willing to come back with me ¹  to this land? Must I then ²  take your son back to the land from which you came?”

Genesis 24:67

24:67 Then Isaac brought Rebekah ³  into his mother Sarah’s tent. He took her ⁴  as his wife and loved her. ⁵  So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. ⁶ 

[24:5]  ¹ tn Heb “to go after me.”

[24:5]  ² tn In the Hebrew text the construction is emphatic; the infinitive absolute precedes the imperfect. However, it is difficult to reflect this emphasis in an English translation.

[24:67]  ³ tn Heb “her”; the referent has been specified here in the translation for clarity.

[24:67]  ⁴ tn Heb “Rebekah”; here the proper name was replaced by the pronoun (“her”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:67]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her.”

[24:67]  ⁶ tn Heb “after his mother.” This must refer to Sarah’s death.
