This highlights the respect and agency given to Rebekah in this narrative. The calling of Rebekah signifies a pivotal moment where her personal consent is sought, reflecting the importance of her willingness in the fulfillment of God's covenantal promises. This moment also underscores the role of divine providence in the selection of Isaac's wife, as Rebekah's decision aligns with God's plan.<p><b>“Will you go with this man?”</b><br>The question posed to Rebekah is significant as it involves leaving her family and homeland to marry Isaac, whom she has never met. This mirrors the call of Abraham in <a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1</a>, where he was asked to leave his country and family to follow God's promise. The phrase "this man" refers to Abraham's servant, who represents Abraham and, by extension, God's will. This question tests Rebekah's faith and willingness to trust in God's plan, much like the faith demonstrated by Abraham.<p><b>“I will go,” she replied.</b><br>Rebekah's response is a testament to her faith and courage. Her willingness to go reflects a parallel to the obedience and faith of Abraham, who also responded to God's call without knowing the full details of his journey. This act of faith is a precursor to the faith required of the Israelites and later believers, who are called to trust in God's promises. Rebekah's decision is also a type of the church, the bride of Christ, who willingly follows Christ, the bridegroom, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/5-25.htm">Ephesians 5:25-27</a>. Her response is a pivotal moment in the Abrahamic narrative, ensuring the continuation of the covenant through Isaac.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/r/rebekah.htm">Rebekah</a></b><br>- A young woman from the family of Abraham's brother Nahor, chosen to be Isaac's wife.
