What does Genesis 24:58 mean?
For the first time, apparently, Rebekah is being given some say in the matter of whether she will go with Abraham's servant back to Canaan. At least she is being asked if she is willing to leave immediately for this strange country to be married to a man she has not met before. It's possible that her brother and mother believed that, if asked, Rebekah would agree with them about waiting a few days. If so, they must have been disappointed about her immediate agreement: "I will go."We're not told if Rebekah's willingness to leave so quickly was due to a difficult relationship with her family or, more likely, if it represented a willingness to do the Lord's will as it had been so dramatically revealed in her life the day before. In either case, her statement is the final word. The family has agreed to terms, and Rebekah is willing. The company will prepare to depart.
Genesis 24:28–59 describes how Abraham's servant, confident he has found God's intended woman for Abraham's son, approaches Rebekah's family to ask for her hand in marriage to Isaac. After being welcomed into their household, the servant tells, in great detail, the story of how God has lead him to Rebekah and their home. Rebekah's father and brother quickly agree that they must allow this marriage to happen. After a bit of negotiation the next morning about when Rebekah will travel to Canaan, Rebekah agrees to leave that very day.
Abraham asks his most trusted servant to travel to his former homeland to find a wife for his son Isaac. Swearing to do so, the servant arrives at the city of Nahor and asks the Lord to show him which young women is appointed for Isaac. Finding Rebekah, the very granddaughter of Abraham's brother Nahor, the servant reveals the reason for his journey to her family. Her father Bethuel and brother Laban agree to allow Rebekah to travel to Canaan and marry Isaac, which she does.
