Here is Rebekah; take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has directed. The consent is complete and swift: take her and go. The household's yes is grounded in their recognition of divine leading. The covenant marriage that will carry the promise forward is established by the simple yes of a household that recognizes the LORD has directed it. The application: when the LORD has clearly directed something, the right response to the evidence is not lengthy deliberation but the swift yes that honors what is evident.
