RÉBECCA

Femme d'Isaac, mère d'Esaü et Jacob. Elle était, d'après J, fille de Nacor, frère d'Abraham, et sa mère s'appelait Milca (Ge 24:15-24,47, vers. 47 il faut supprimer la mention de Béthuel ajoutée après coup, ainsi que le montrent Ge 24:27-48 29:5) ; d'après P, elle était fille de Béthuel, l'Araméen de Paddan-Aram (Ge 25:20 28:2).

Elle était soeur de Laban (Ge 24:50,59) lui donne aussi Béthuel pour frère) et naquit dans la région de Caran. C'est là que vint la chercher le serviteur d'Abraham chargé de trouver une épouse pour Isaac. Le récit des fiançailles de Rébecca (Ge 24), un des plus gracieux de la Genèse, constitue une merveilleuse peinture de moeurs.

Après 20 ans de mariage elle mit au monde deux jumeaux, Ésaü et Jacob, les ancêtres d'Édom et d'Israël (Ge 25:21,26). Elle manifesta sa préférence pour son fils Jacob, et l'aida à duper son vieux père pour arracher le droit d'aînesse à Ésaü (Ge 27:1,45). Elle apparaît toujours active et entreprenante, mais la jeune fille aimable et complaisante devient plus tard épouse menteuse et mère intrigante. Rébecca fut ensevelie dans la caverne de Macpéla à Hébron (Ge 49:31), tandis que sa nourrice l'avait été dans les environs de Béthel (Ge 35:8).

L'apôtre Paul cite les deux fils de Rébecca comme exemples de la liberté que Dieu possède de choisir pour ses desseins qui il lui plaît (Ro 9:10-13).

      Genèse 24

      1 Abraham was old, and well stricken in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
      2 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please put your hand under my thigh.
      3 I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
      4 But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac."
      5 The servant said to him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?"
      6 Abraham said to him, "Beware that you don't bring my son there again.
      7 Yahweh, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, 'I will give this land to your seed .' He will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
      8 If the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath. Only you shall not bring my son there again."
      9 The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
      10 The servant took ten camels, of his master's camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master's with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
      11 He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
      12 He said, "Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
      13 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
      14 Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, 'Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,' and she will say, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,'--let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
      15 It happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
      16 The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin, neither had any man known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
      17 The servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher."
      18 She said, "Drink, my lord." She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him drink.
      19 When she had done giving him drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have done drinking."
      20 She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
      21 The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.
      22 It happened, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
      23 and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?"
      24 She said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
      25 She said moreover to him, "We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in."
      26 The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.
      27 He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me in the way to the house of my master's relatives."
      28 The young lady ran, and told her mother's house about these words.
      29 Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
      30 It happened, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," that he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
      31 He said, "Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels."
      32 The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
      33 Food was set before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my message." He said, "Speak on."
      34 He said, "I am Abraham's servant.
      35 Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
      36 Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
      37 My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
      38 but you shall go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.'
      39 I asked my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'
      40 He said to me, 'Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son of my relatives, and of my father's house.
      41 Then will you be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don't give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.'
      42 I came this day to the spring, and said, 'Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go--
      43 behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,"
      44 and she will tell me, "Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,"--let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master's son.'
      45 Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, 'Please let me drink.'
      46 She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.' So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.
      47 I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
      48 I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.
      49 Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left."
      50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can't speak to you bad or good.
      51 Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as Yahweh has spoken."
      52 It happened that when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.
      53 The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
      54 They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master."
      55 Her brother and her mother said, "Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go."
      56 He said to them, "Don't hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master."
      57 They said, "We will call the young lady, and ask her."
      58 They called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."
      59 They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham's servant, and his men.
      60 They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them."
      61 Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
      62 Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
      63 Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.
      64 Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.
      65 She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." She took her veil, and covered herself.
      66 The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
      67 Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

      Genèse 25

      20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
      21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
      26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

      Genèse 27

      1 It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, "My son?" He said to him, "Here I am."
      45 until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"

      Genèse 28

      2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.

      Genèse 29

      5 He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."

      Genèse 35

      8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

      Genèse 49

      31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:

      Romains 9

      10 Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
      11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
      12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
      13 Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
