(KJV.) GENESIS 24:51-57
(51) Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
(52) And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself in the earth.
(53) And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
(54) And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night: and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master:
(55) And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that, she shall go.
(56) And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
(57) And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
Point to Ponder on:
"We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth": why was Rebekah's input necessary?
