 24:61
 24:62
24:61 Rebecca set off with her girls, and they rode on the camels, following the stranger. The servant thus took Rebecca and left.
Vatakom Rivkah vena'aroteyha vatirkavnah al-hagemalim vatelachnah acharey ha'ish vayikach ha'eved et-Rivkah vayelach.
24:62 Isaac was on his way, coming from Beer LaChai Roi. He was then living in the Negev area.
VeYitschak ba mibo Be'er Lachay Ro'i vehu yoshev be'erets haNegev.


Commentary:

on his way, coming...
  Literally, 'came from coming.' Others translate it, 'Isaac was coming from his usual journeys to...' (Targum; Ramban; Rashbam; Radak).

Beer LaChai Roi
  See Genesis 16:14. Isaac later lived there (Genesis 25:11). Some say that he prayed there because this was where an angel had been seen (Ramban). Others maintain that he had gone to visit Hagar (Bereshith Rabbah 60; Rashi).
