"since Abraham's descendants will become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him?

since the LORD had made all the women barren in Abimelech's household on account of Abraham's wife Sarah.

Bethuel fathered Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

Then Abraham's servant took ten camels from his master's herd of camels and left on his journey with all kinds of gifts from his master's inventory. Eventually, he traveled as far as Aram-naharaim, Nahor's home town.

Before he had finished speaking, Rebekah appeared. She was a daughter of Milcah's son Bethuel. (Milcah was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor.) She approached the well, carrying a jug on her shoulder.

Then Abraham's servant ran to meet her and asked her, "Please, let me have a sip of water from your jug."

"I'm Abraham's servant," he said.

When Abraham's servant heard what they had said, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.

So they sent off their sister Rebekah, along with her personal assistant, Abraham's servant, and his men.

Then Rebekah and her young servant women got up, mounted their camels, and followed Abraham's servant, who took Rebekah and went on his way.

After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who continued to live near Beer-lahai-roi.

This is the account of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham fathered Isaac.

Later on, a famine swept through the land. This famine was different from the previous famine that had occurred earlier, during Abraham's lifetime. So Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

They filled in with sand all of the wells that Isaac's father Abraham's servants had dug during his lifetime.

Isaac re-excavated some wells that his father had first dug during his lifetime, because the Philistines had filled them with sand after Abraham's death. Isaac renamed those wells with the same names that his father had called them.

so he went to Abraham's son Ishmael and married Ishmael's daughter Mahalath, who was the sister of Nebaioth.

May Abraham's God and Nahor's god judge between us."
