Definition: Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee, take [her], and go, and let her be thy masterâs sonâs wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
Explanation: Okay, let's break down this verse from Genesis 24:51. It’s a really important passage about God’s plan for Jacob’s family! Here’s what it means in simple terms: Basically, God is telling Rebekah to take Jacob and bring him to her. Let's unpack that a little bit: “Genesis 24:51 Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee…” – This is a way of saying “Look at her” or “She’s here.” It's a sign that God has chosen Rebekah to be important. “…take [her], and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife…” – God wants Rebekah to take Jacob and bring him to her. He wants her to become his wife. It's a big step in God’s plan for their family. “…as the LORD hath spoken.” - This is a little bit of poetic language. It means that this arrangement (bringing Jacob to Rebekah) is guided by God himself. It's a sign that God is working things out for the best. So, what’s the big picture? This verse is a key part of how God began to establish the family line for Jacob. It shows that God wants to bless and guide Jacob's life, and this arrangement is a way for him to start building a family with Rebekah. It's about God’s plan and working through people in a significant way. Think of it like this: It's like God setting up a starting point for a long story – a foundation for the whole family! --- Do you want me to: Explain another verse?
