Abraham Instructs His Servant

24 By now Abraham was old, and Yahweh had blessed him in every way. 2 So Abraham said to the senior servant of his household who was in charge of all that he owned, “Take a solemn oath. 3 I want you to swear by Yahweh Elohim of heaven and earth that you will not get my son a wife from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I’m living. 4 Instead, you will go to the land of my relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.”

6 “Make sure that you do not take my son back there,” Abraham said to him. 7 “Yahweh Elohim of heaven took me from my father’s home and the land of my family. He spoke to me and swore this oath: ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’

“Elohim will send his angel ahead of you, and you will get my son a wife from there. 8 If the woman doesn’t want to come back with you, then you’ll be free from this oath that you swear to me.”

11 The servant had the camels kneel down outside the city by the well. It was evening, when the women would go out to draw water. 12 Then he prayed, “Yahweh, Elohim of my master Abraham, make me successful today. Show your kindness to Abraham.

21 The man was silently watching her to see whether or not Yahweh had made his trip successful.

26 The man knelt, bowing to Yahweh with his face touching the ground. 27 He said, “Praise Yahweh, the Elohim of my master Abraham. Yahweh hasn’t failed to be kind and faithful to my master. Yahweh has led me on this trip to the home of my master’s relatives.”

At the home of Abraham’s relatives:

Come in, you whom Yahweh has blessed. Why are you standing out here? I have straightened up the house and made a place for the camels.”

34 “I am Abraham’s servant,” he said. 35 “Yahweh has blessed my master, and he has become wealthy.

39 “I asked my master, ‘What if the woman won’t come back with me?’

40 “He answered me, ‘I have been living the way Yahweh wants me to. The Lord will send his angel with you to make your trip successful. You will get my son a wife from my relatives and from my father’s family. 41 Then you will be free from your oath to me”

42 “When I came to the spring today, I prayed, ‘Yahweh Elohim of my master Abraham, please make my trip successful.

Please give me a drink of water.” 44 If she says to me, “Not only may you have a drink, but I will also draw water for your camels,” let her be the woman Yahweh has chosen for my master’s son.’

Trip successful,  Rebecca married Isaac.   Note Abraham’s  faith,  knew he lived a life that pleased Yahweh,  so knew his prayer would be answered.
