Early life
According to the account in the
The news of her birth is told to her great-uncle Abraham after the latter returns from "Akeidat Yitzchak" (the
After the Binding of Isaac, Sarah, Abraham's wife, dies. After taking care of her burial, Abraham goes about finding a wife for his son Isaac, who is already at least 37 years old. He commands his servant
To his surprise, a young girl immediately comes out and offers to draw water for him to drink, as well as water to fill the troughs for all his camels. Rebecca continues to draw water until all the camels are sated, proving her kind and generous nature and her suitability for entering Abraham's household.
Eliezer immediately gives her a golden nose ring and two golden bracelets (Genesis 24:22), which Rebecca hurries to show her mother. Seeing the jewelry, her brother Laban runs out to greet the guest and bring him inside. Eliezer recounts the oath he made to Abraham and all the details of his trip to and meeting with Rebecca in fine detail, after which Laban and Bethuel agree that she can return with him. After hosting Eliezer and his men overnight, however, the family tries to keep Rebecca with them for another 10 months or a year. Eliezer insists that they ask the girl herself, and she agrees to go immediately. Her family sends her off with her nurse, Deborah, and blesses her, "Our sister, may you come to be thousands of myriads, and may your offspring inherit the gate of its foes."
As Rebecca and her entourage approach Abraham's home, they spy Isaac from a distance in the fields of Beer-lahai-roi. The
Wedding allusions
Some of the events leading up to the marriage of Isaac and Rebecca have been institutionalized in the traditional Jewish wedding ceremony. Before the

Deceiving Isaac
When Isaac was old and blind, he decided to bestow his blessing on his firstborn son, Esau. He sent Esau out to the fields to trap and cook a piece of savory game for him, so that he can eat and drink and be in a happy state of mind when he blesses him. (Note: Some sages say he wanted Esau to fulfill the mitzvah of honoring his father.) Rebecca overhears this exchange and realizes that Jacob is more deserving of the blessing, based on the prophecy she received before the twins' birth. She orders Jacob to bring her two goats from the flock, and cooks them in the way Isaac likes. When Jacob protests that his father will recognize the deception as soon as he feels him—Esau is a hairy man and Jacob is smooth-skinned—Rebecca lays the goatskins on his arms and on his neck to simulate hairy skin, and dresses Jacob in Esau's clothes. Thus disguised, Jacob goes to his father and succeeds in receiving his blessing, the blessing the first-born son was supposed to receive.
When Esau returns from the hunt to receive his blessing and discovers the deception, he vows in his heart to kill Jacob. Rebecca prophetically perceives his murderous intentions and orders Jacob to travel to her brother Laban's house until Esau's anger subsides. She convinces Isaac to send Jacob away by telling him that she despairs of him marrying a local girl from the idol-worshiping families of Canaan (as Esau has done).
Death and burial
Jacob is away from home for 22 years. As he is returning to Canaan with his large family, servants, and possessions,
# Neither Isaac, Esau, or Jacob are present at the burial, so Rebecca is buried by her neighbors, which is somewhat of an embarrassment.
# Esau is present at the burial, but Jacob isn't, which reflects badly on Jacob's inability to perform this last
According to tradition, Rebecca is buried in the
