Genesis 24:29-25:34

b'When concluded our last reading, we found ourselves in the middle of an account concerning Abraham\\u2019s servant and Isaac\\u2019s future wife Rebekah. Abraham didn\\u2019t want Isaac marrying a Canaanite woman, so he sent a messenger to find a wife for his son from among his own people. The servant recounts what happened in the last episode almost verbatim, so if you get a bit of d\\xe9j\\xe0 vu, don\\u2019t worry. We\\u2019ll see that the apple doesn\\u2019t fall too far from the tree as we read about Isaac and Rebekah. Later, we\\u2019ll be introduced to Isaac\\u2019s sons: Esau & Jacob.'
