NETBible

They blessed Rebekah with these words:¹ “Our sister, may you become the mother² of thousands of ten thousands! May your descendants possess the strongholds³ of their enemies.”

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “and said to her.”

²tn Heb “become thousands of ten thousands.”

²sn May you become the mother of thousands of ten thousands. The blessing expresses their prayer that she produce children and start a family line that will greatly increase (cf. Gen 17:16).

³tn Heb “gate,” which here stands for a walled city. In an ancient Near Eastern city the gate complex was the main area of defense (hence the translation “stronghold”). A similar phrase occurs in Gen 22:17.
