Génesis 24:59 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:59

And they sent away Rebekah their sister
Not in a pet or angry humour, but with good will; they agreed she should go, and took their leave in a very honourable and affectionate manner. This is to be understood of her brother Laban, and of other brethren and sisters she might have; though by the connection of the words with the preceding, they seem to design her brother and mother, who spoke last; and probably all her relations are meant, who call her their sister, because so nearly related to them: and her nurse:
who had been her nurse in former times, as Aben Ezra observes, in her infancy, for whom she had a particular affection, as is often the case; her name was Deborah, as appears from ( Genesis 35:8 ) : and Abraham's servant, and his men;
who were dismissed in an handsome manner by the family.

Génesis 24:59 In-Context

57 —Llamemos a la joven, a ver qué piensa ella —respondieron.
58 Así que llamaron a Rebeca y le preguntaron:—¿Quieres irte con este hombre?—Sí —respondió ella.
59 Entonces dejaron ir a su hermana Rebeca y a su nodriza con el criado de Abraham y sus acompañantes.
60 Y bendijeron a Rebeca con estas palabras:«Hermana nuestra:¡que seas madre de millares!¡Que dominen tus descendienteslas ciudades de sus enemigos!»
61 Luego Rebeca y sus criadas se prepararon, montaron en los camellos y siguieron al criado de Abraham. Así fue como él tomó a Rebeca y se marchó de allí.
