‏ Genesis 24:60

The next morning he desired at once to set off on the journey home; but her brother and mother wished to keep her with them עשׁור או ימים, “some days, or rather ten;” but when she was consulted, she decided to so, sc., without delay. “Then they sent away Rebekah their sister (Laban being chiefly considered, as the leading person in the affair) and her nurse” (Deborah; Gen 35:8), with the parting wish that she might become the mother of an exceedingly numerous and victorious posterity. “Become thousands of myriads” is a hyperbolical expression for an innumerable host of children. The second portion of the blessing (Gen 24:60) is almost verbatim the same as Gen 22:17, but is hardly borrowed thence, as the thought does not contain anything specifically connected with the history of salvation.
