(Genesis) Genesis 24:36-49

Verse 36, And Sarah, my master's wife, bear a son to my master when she was old, and unto him hath he given all that he had. And Lord Jesus, he is the inheritor. We are joint heirs with him today.

He's come now to tell this family, I'm after a bride for my master's son, and he's going to inherit all things. Now, will you notice, And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell. Friends, he's calling out sinners, but they are sinners that are born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, of the Word of God that liveth and abideth forever.

That's the ones he's calling out. Yes, sinners, but they've been made children of God. And if any man be in Christ, he's a new creation.

He's not taking Canaanites. They have to be transformed. Now, will you notice, But thou shalt go unto my father's house, to my kindred, take a wife unto my son.

And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. And he said unto me, The Lord before whom I walk will send his angel with thee, prosper thy way. Thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, my father's house.

Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath when thou comest to my kindred. And if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. And I came this day under the well.

And I said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go, behold, I stand by the well of water. It shall come to pass that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink. And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels.

Let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master's son. And before I done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder. And she went down under the well and drew water.

And I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee. And she made haste, let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I'll give thy camels drink also. So I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

And I asked her, and I said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, who milked a barren to him. And I put the earring upon her face and the bracelets upon her hands. And I bowed down my head and worshiped the Lord and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

And now, if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me, and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right or to the left.
