Rebekah's Journey: A Tale of Faith and Courage

Directions for Young Readers:


Welcome, young readers! Today, we embark on an adventure with Rebekah, a courageous woman of
faith whose story teaches us valuable lessons about trust, kindness, and God's providence. Join us as
we journey through Rebekah's life and discover the wonders of God's plan. Pay close attention to the
story, as there will be a question for you to answer at the end!

Story:
In the land of Canaan, there lived a man named Abraham and his wife Sarah. They were blessed by
God, but they had no children of their own. As Abraham grew older, he prayed to God for a son to
carry on his legacy. God heard his prayers and promised Abraham that he would have a son.

Many years passed, and God fulfilled his promise to Abraham and Sarah. They were blessed with a
son named Isaac, who brought great joy to their hearts. As Isaac grew older, Abraham knew it was
time for him to find a wife.

Abraham called for his oldest servant and said, "Go to my country and my own relatives and get a
wife for my son Isaac." The servant set out on a journey, trusting in God to guide him to the right
woman for Isaac.

As the servant traveled, he prayed to God for a sign to show him who Isaac's wife would be. When he
reached the town of Nahor, he stopped at a well to rest. There, he met a kind and beautiful young
woman named Rebekah, who showed him great hospitality.
The servant knew that Rebekah was the one whom God had chosen for Isaac. He asked her family for
permission for her to marry Isaac, and they agreed. Rebekah trusted in God's plan and left her home
to journey to Canaan and marry Isaac.

When Rebekah arrived, Isaac saw her and knew that she was the one whom God had chosen for him.
They were married, and their love grew stronger with each passing day. Together, they built a life
filled with faith, love, and devotion to God.

Question:
What was the name of the town where Rebekah lived before she married Isaac?

Story:
Rebekah and Isaac were blessed by God with twin sons, Esau and Jacob. As the boys grew older,
Rebekah loved them both dearly, but she knew that God had a special plan for Jacob.

One day, Rebekah heard Isaac talking to Esau about giving him his blessing as the firstborn son.
Rebekah knew that God had promised the blessing to Jacob, so she devised a plan to help Jacob
receive the blessing instead.

Rebekah instructed Jacob to dress in Esau's clothes and bring Isaac a meal, pretending to be Esau.
Jacob was hesitant at first, but he trusted his mother's wisdom and followed her instructions.

Isaac was deceived by Jacob's disguise and blessed him instead of Esau. When Esau discovered what
had happened, he was angry with Jacob and vowed to seek revenge. Rebekah sent Jacob away to live
with her relatives until Esau's anger subsided.

Answer:
The name of the town where Rebekah lived before she married Isaac was Nahor.

Ending:
And so, dear readers, let us remember Rebekah's story and the lessons it teaches us about faith, trust,
and God's providence. May we, like Rebekah, trust in God's plan for our lives and follow him with
courage and obedience.
