Genesis 24
Abraham wants Isaac to have a wife from the Canaanites, sends his servant (who's never named) to find him a wife. The servant prays to the "God of my master Abraham," not his god. :( But You still listen to him--You help him find Rebekah, she helps the servant with his camels. There, she's very kind. The servant's invited in--more of their hospitality. The servants repeats the whole story, practically word-for-word--remember reading once that it's because the stories originally spoken, the audience needed to be reminded of what's happened, enforce with repetition. They actually gave Rebekah a choice--I'm surprised. What would have happened if she'd said no, though? And then Isaac and Rebekah marry.
