A servant of Abraham's took his camels to the well in Mesopotamia to water at the same time the women would go take water from the same well. The servant was sent out to find a wife for Isaac, the son of Abraham and Rebekah. The servant prayed to God for the woman to be revealed by granting his camel permission to drink from the water that she has drawn from the well. Rebekah was the women who allowed this to happen. Laban is Rebekah's brother. Rebekah and Isaac got married, and she eased his pain of his mother's death. Isaac married at 40, and they conceived a child. She birthed twins, Esau, who was red and hairy. The other was named Jacob. Esau, became a skilled hunter, while Jacob was a simple man that lived in tents. Rebekah's father was Bethuel
