The Story of Rebecca-Genesis xxiv.
IN to-day's instalment of this series of stories from the Old Testament, listeners will hear one of the most famous episodes in the Pentateuch ; how Abraham, in his old age, sent his servant to find a wife for his son Isaac, and the servant met Rebecca at the well outside the city of Nahor, in Mesopotamia, and brought her back. This incident, by the way, is one that has appealed especially to painters of Biblical subjects; there have been countless famous pictures depicting Rebecca at the Well.
