What does Genesis 24:67 mean?

Here, the story of the wedding of Isaac and Rebekah reaches its conclusion. In this moment, Isaac and Rebekah seem to step into the shoes of Abraham and Sarah. He gives her his mother's tent. He soon marries her and begins to love her. Their relationship comforts him in the loss of Sarah. This is the first mention of Isaac's emotional response to his mother's death, which took place approximately three years before his marriage to Rebekah.

The following chapter will describe the death of Abraham. Isaac will now become the patriarch of the family of the people of God.
