{Genesis 24:28} And the damsel 5291 ran, 7323 z8799 and told 5046 z8686 [them of] her mother's 517 house 1004 these x428 things. 1697
of:
"And I bowed down my head,ª° and worshippedª° the LORD,ª and blessedª°¹ the LORDª Godª of my masterª Abraham,ª which¹ had led¹ me²° in the rightª wayª to takeª°¹ my master'sª brother'sª daughterª unto his son.ª" {Gen 24:48} + "And her brotherª and her motherª said,ª° Let the damselª abideª° with¹ us [a few] days,ª at the leastª ten;ª after² that¹ she shall go.²°¹" {Gen 24:55} + "And Isaacª brought¹ her²° into his motherª Sarah'sª tent,ª and tookª°¹ Rebekah,ª and she became¹ his wife;ª and he lovedª° her: and Isaacª was comfortedª° afterª his mother'sª [death]." {Gen 24:67} + "And Labanª wentª° into Jacob'sª tent,ª and into Leah'sª tent,ª and into the twoª maidservants'ª tents;ª but he foundª° [them] not.¹ Then went¹ he out²° of Leah's² tent,ª¹¹ and enteredª° into Rachel'sª tent.ª" {Gen 31:33}

This was probably the case here; though, from the whole narrative, it is very probable that Bethuel was dead, as the whole business appears to be conducted by Rebekah's brothers.
