A wife is sought for Isaac, among Abraham's kindred Genesis, 24: 1-6,

Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed him in all things. And Abraham said to his eldest  Servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: And I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my Son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: But thou shalt go unto my kindred, and take a wife for Isaac. The Servant ask Abraham? If the Woman is not willing to follow me unto this Land: must I take thy Son again unto the Land? Abraham said, Beware that you do not take my Son back there. The LORD God of heaven who took me from my father's house and from my family, swore unto me saying, Unto thy Seed will I give  this Land: and thou shalt not take a wife unto my son from there. He will send His angel before thee. If the woman is not willing to follow you, you are free from your oath. 24: 1-6,

Genesis, 24: 14-15, And the servant put his hand under Abraham's thigh and swore to him concerning the matter. The Servant took ten Camels of his master, and departed; and he went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. And he made his Camels kneel down by the well of water at the time of  evening when women came to draw water. The servant prayed, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. And let it come to pass that the damsel to whom I shall say, let down thy pitcher, that I may drink, and she shall say, drink and I shall give thy camels drink also: let her be the same. that thou has appointed for thy servant Isaac. Before he had done speaking, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah. Abraham's brother,

Genesis 24: 17- And the Servant ran to meet her, and said, let me I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. She said drink my lord: she let down her pitcher and gave him a drink. And said, I will also   draw water for your camels, she pour water in trough, and went back to the well to draw more water for all the camels. The servant gave her golden earrings, two bracelets,and ten shekels weight of gold; and said whose daughter are you? I am the daughter of Beth-u'el the son of Milcah, she bare unto Nahor. The man bowed his head, and worshiped the LORD. And said Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master.

 Rebekah ran home to her mother's house, Rebekah's brother Laban ran out to see the man, at the well. And when he saw the earring and bracelets on his sister's hands, and heard the words of Rebekah, and the servant spoke to the parents and brother, They said, the thing is from the LORD: we cannot speak bad are good. Behold Rebekah is before thee take her to be your master's son's wife as the Lord hath spoken. he gave her  Mother and brother gifts, and worshiped the LORD. They eat and drink, and stayed the night, her family wanted her to stay for a few days, but the servant say send me away that I may go to my master. They call Rebekah and ask her, wilt thou go with this man, she said, I will go. 24: 50-58,

And they send Rebekah away with her nurse. And they blessed Rebekah, and said be thou the mother of thousands of millions. And Rebekah and her damsel rode upon there camels and followed the man. And Isaac went out to meditate in the field, And Rebekah lift up her eyes and saw Isaac, she get off her camel, and ask what man is this that walk in the field to meet us? He said it is my master: she took a vail and covered herself. And the servant told Isaac all the things that he has 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. 24: 60-67,
