Commentary on Genesis 24:67

Theological / Devotional

Into his mother Sarah’s tent. Perhaps that same day, or the day following, Isaac led Rebekah into his mother’s tent. Empty for three years, it now became quarters for Rebekah and her maids. This implies that Rebekah took the important place of Sarah in the household of Abraham. Isaac’s marriage ceremony itself probably consisted of a simple declaration, before witnesses, of his intention to take Rebekah as his wife (cf. Ruth 4:10-13).

And he loved her. Isaac had every reason to love Rebekah. She was not only most beautiful (v. 16) but of a kind, cheerful, and considerate disposition. She seems to have been, generally speaking, a paragon of feminine virtue (see Proverbs 31:10-31; 1 Peter 3:1–6; Titus 2:3-5). Isaac’s careful training and submissive spirit have already been noted (see on Genesis 22:9). Their home must have been a very happy one.
