Gn. 24:61‑67• 61Levantóse entonces Rebeca y sus mozas, y subieron sobre los camellos, y siguieron al hombre; y el criado tomó á Rebeca, y fuése.
 62Y venía Isaac del pozo del Viviente que me ve; porque él habitaba en la tierra del Mediodía;
 63Y había salido Isaac á orar al campo, á la hora de la tarde; y alzando sus ojos miró, y he aquí los camellos que venían.
 64Rebeca también alzó sus ojos, y vió á Isaac, y descendió del camello;
 65Porque había preguntado al criado: ¿Quién es este varón que viene por el campo hacia nosotros? Y el siervo había respondido: Este es mi señor. Ella entonces tomó el velo, y cubrióse.
 66Entonces el criado contó á Isaac todo lo que había hecho.
 67E introdújola Isaac á la tienda de su madre Sara, y tomó á Rebeca por mujer; y amóla: y consolóse Isaac después de la muerte de su madre. (Gn. 24:61‑67)

Sal. 45:10‑11• 10Oye, hija, y mira, é inclina tu oído; Y olvida tu pueblo, y la casa de tu padre;
 11Y deseará el rey tu hermosura: E inclínate á él, porque él es tu Señor. (Sal. 45:10‑11)

1 S. 25:27• 27Y ahora esta bendición que tu sierva ha traído á mi señor, dése á los criados que siguen á mi señor. (1 S. 25:27)
• She makes haste yet one more time toward the end of the chapter (1 Sam. 25:42). This is when she is called by David to become his companion in suffering (cf. 1 Sam. 27:3) and later to share his reign. (“1 Samuel 25” by H.L. Rossier)
• One of faith’s characteristics is to hasten. Abraham made haste when it was a matter of the Lord’s service (Gen. 18:6-8); Zacchaeus did so when the Savior invited him to receive Him into his house (Lk. 19:6); Mary did so when the Lord called her to come to Him (Jn. 11:29). If it is a matter of Him and of His Person, can we ever hasten enough? (“1 Samuel 25” by H.L. Rossier)
