Genesis 24:53-55
New English Translation

53 Then he[a] brought out gold, silver jewelry, and clothing and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave valuable gifts to her brother and to her mother. 54 After this, he and the men who were with him ate a meal and stayed there overnight.[b]

When they got up in the morning, he said, “Let me leave now so I can return to my master.”[c] 55 But Rebekah’s[d] brother and her mother replied, “Let the girl stay with us a few more days, perhaps ten. Then she can go.”
