"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,ª ¹ ¹ and enteredª ° into Rachel'sª tent.ª" {Gen 31:33}

Some have conjectured from this, that her father Bethuel was dead; and the person called Bethuel ("Then Labanª and Bethuelª answeredª ° and said,ª ° The thingª proceedethª ° from the LORD:ª ¹ we cannotª °¹ speakª ° unto¹ thee badª orª good.ª" {Gen 24:50}), was a younger brother. This is possible; but as Dr. A. Clarke remarks, the mother's house might be mentioned were even the father alive; for in Asiatic countries, the women have apartments entirely separate from those of the men, in which their little children and grown-up daughters reside with them. 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.
