And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah
The phrase "brought her into the tent" signifies a significant cultural and familial transition. In ancient Near Eastern customs, the tent of the matriarch was a place of honor and authority. By bringing Rebekah into Sarah's tent, Isaac is not only welcoming her into his life but also bestowing upon her the role of the matriarch. This act symbolizes the continuation of Sarah's legacy and the establishment of Rebekah as the new matriarch of the family. The tent represents a place of safety, family, and tradition, and this gesture underscores the importance of family lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative.

and took Rebekah as his wife
The phrase "took Rebekah as his wife" indicates the formalization of the marriage covenant. In Hebrew culture, marriage was not merely a social contract but a sacred covenant before God. The act of taking a wife involved a deep commitment and responsibility. This union is a fulfillment of God's providence, as Rebekah was chosen by divine guidance to be Isaac's partner. The marriage of Isaac and Rebekah is a pivotal moment in the Abrahamic lineage, ensuring the continuation of God's promises to Abraham.

Isaac loved her
The expression "Isaac loved her" is profound, as it highlights the emotional and relational aspect of their union. Love in the biblical sense is not merely an emotion but an action and commitment. Isaac's love for Rebekah is a reflection of the ideal marital relationship, where love is foundational. This love is significant because it shows that their marriage was not only arranged by divine intervention but also blessed with genuine affection and care. It sets a precedent for the importance of love in marriage within the biblical framework.

and was comforted after his mother’s death
The phrase "was comforted after his mother’s death" reveals the deep emotional impact Sarah's death had on Isaac. The loss of a mother, especially one as significant as Sarah, would have left a profound void in Isaac's life. Rebekah's presence and love provided solace and healing for Isaac's grief. This comfort is not just emotional but also spiritual, as it signifies God's provision of companionship and support in times of loss. It underscores the theme of God's faithfulness in providing for His people, even in their deepest sorrows. The comfort Isaac finds in Rebekah is a testament to the healing power of love and the importance of family in God's design.

(67) Sarah's tent.--So Leah and Rachel had each her own tent (Genesis 31:33; but see on Genesis 24:28).

Verse 67. - And Isaac - receiving an account (ver. 66) from his father's faithful ambassador of all things that he had done - brought her into his mother Sarah's tent (which must have been removed from Hebron as a precious relic of the family, if by this time they had changed their abode), and took Rebekah, and she became his wife - the primitive marriage ceremony consisting solely of a taking before witnesses (vide Ruth 4:13). And he loved her. And he had every reason; for, besides being beautiful and kindly and pious, she had for his sake performed a heroic act of self-sacrifice, and, better still, had been both selected for and bestowed upon him by his own and his father's God. And Isaac was comforted after his mother's death. Literally, after his mother; the word death not being in the original, "as if the Holy Spirit would not conclude this beautiful and joyful narrative with a note of sorrow" (Wordsworth).
