SCRIPTURE

"And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah, and went his way." — Genesis 24:61 (ASV)

And Rebekah arose, and her damsels
Her maids that were given her by her parents to wait upon her, as was usual in those times and countries: and they rode upon the camels
that Abraham's servant had brought with him: and followed the man
who rode before and directed the way; the sense is only, that she went along with him: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way
took her under his care, and to be the wife of his master's son, at the hands of her friends, and then set forward on his journey.
