What the Bible says
Genesis 24:17-20
17And the servant ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher. 18And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink. 19And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink. 20And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water: and having drawn she gave to all the camels.
Genesis 24:58, 67
58And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go. 67Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother’s death.
Genesis 25:24-26
24And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb. 25He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother’s foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob. 26Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
