Marriage » A benediction pronounced after
All the people who were in the court, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve wealth in Ephrathah and become famous in Bethlehem. "Moreover, may your house be like the house of Perez whom Tamar bore to Judah, through the offspring which the LORD will give you by this young woman."
They blessed Rebekah and said to her,
“May you, our sister,
Become thousands of ten thousands,
And mayyour descendants possess
The gate of those who hate them.”
“May you, our sister,
And may
The gate of those who hate them.”
