Meet Rebekah.
Hospitality and a complex family story.
Who was Rebekah?
Rebekah, also spelled Rebecca, became Isaac's wife and the mother of Esau and Jacob. Her story begins with hospitality at a well and later includes difficult family choices. The different spellings refer to the same person.
Rebekah offered water to Abraham's servant and his camels. Later her family asked whether she would go, and she answered for herself.
