48 E inclinei-me, e adorei ao SENHOR, e bendisse ao SENHOR, Deus de meu senhor Abraão, que me havia guiado pelo caminho de verdade para tomar a filha do irmão de meu senhor para seu filho.

49 Agora, pois, se vós fazeis misericórdia e verdade com meu senhor, declarai-o a mim; e se não, declarai-o a mim; e irei embora à direita ou à esquerda.

50 Então Labão e Betuel responderam e disseram: Do SENHOR saiu isto; não podemos falar-te mal nem bem.

51 Eis aí Rebeca diante de ti; toma-a e vai-te, e seja mulher do filho de teu senhor, como o disse o SENHOR.

52 E foi, que quando o criado de Abraão ouviu suas palavras, inclinou-se à terra ao SENHOR.
