Printed Caption:
Rebecca
lights off the Camel, and covers her self with a vail.
Genesis 24:64-67
And Rebekah
lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off
the camel.
For she had said unto the servant, What man is this
that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had
said, It is my master: therefore she took a veil, and
covered herself.
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took
Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac
was comforted after his mother's death. (KJV)
