Before Abraham died, he called his oldest, most trusted servant to him. He made him swear to find a wife for Isaac from his surviving brother’s family instead of the neighboring Canaanites. 

The servant sets off on his mission across the Negev wilderness for hundreds of miles. When he gets there, he sees the women of the village at the well. He prays to God to help him choose the right one for his Master’s son. This is as close as they had to dating apps in 2000 B.C. 

The servant sees a pretty, unmarried woman and asks her for a drink of water. She provides him a drink and gives water for his camels. It’s a character test and she shows generosity and kindness. He swipes right by offering her a nose ring and two bracelets. He asks about her family and if they have accommodations. 

She indicates that she is granddaughter of Abraham’s kin and has room for him to stay. The servant thanks God and goes to dinner. The servant tells Rebekah’s brother Laban and her Dad about his fiancée-finding mission emphasizing the wealth of Abraham’s household. They are agreeable, but want him to wait. He’s in a hurry, so they ask Rebekah if she wants to go with him and she says yes. So after he gives them a haul of jewelry, gold and garments, Rebekah and her nurse head off to Abraham’s land with her family’s blessing to have a thousand grandkids. 

Upon arrival, they find Isaac out in the desert meditating. He sees them coming and goes out to greet them. Rebekah asks the servant who the man is, and he tells her that’s his master. She puts on her veil. Apparently, that was her swiping right. Isaac and Rebekah move into Sarah’s tent. It says that Isaac loved her and was comforted after the loss of his mother.
