Rebecca impressed Eliezer at their meeting by the well, when she so courteously and generously drew water for him and his thirsty camels, after their long journey from Canaan. Eliezer was convinced that Rebecca was a most befitting wife for Isaac, the son of his master Abraham. Rebecca led Eliezer to her father Bethuel and brother Laban. With the agreement of all three, Eliezer prepared to take Rebecca with him on his return journey to Abraham. The camel caravan set out and journeyed southwards to the Negev desert, to the meeting with the bridegroom, Isaac.
"And Isaac went out … at the evening time and he lifted up his eyes, … and, behold, camels were coming. And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she descended from the camel. And she said to the servant (Eliezer), Who is this man that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master ..." (Genesis 24: 63-65)
Eliezer told Isaac about Rebecca's exceptional character. Isaac happily took her as his wife and found consolation in her after the passing of his mother Sarah.
