URabheka wayengatsho ukuthi uzawanathisa okungatsho lutho kodwa wayezawanathisa lawo aze akholwe. Ikamela linganatha amalitha angu-95 nxa liwomile. Cabanga-ke ukuthi aluba wonke elitshumi ayewomile, uRabheka wayengathatha isikhathi esingakanani ewathelela amanzi. Kwaya ngasifudlana ngoba kukhanya amakamela la ayengawomanga kangako.a Kodwa phela uRabheka wayengakwazi khonokho ngesikhathi esithi uzawanathisa. Wayezimisele ukusebenza nzima ukuze ayitshengise umusa indoda le lanxa nje wayengayazi. Indoda le yakuvuma okwakukhulunywe nguRabheka, yasimbuka ngelibukhali elokhu egijima egcwalisa imbiza yakhe esiyayithulula emkolweni.—UGenesisi 24:20, 21.

Kufanele ukuthi uRabheka wayenanzelela ukuthi amehlo endoda le ayengasuki kuye. Ayisikho ukuthi kulokunye okwasekusolisa, kodwa indoda le yayikhanya ithabile futhi ingelankani ngokwakusenzakala phambi kwamehlo ayo. URabheka uthe eseqedile, indoda le yamnika isongo kanye lezigqizo konke kwenziwe ngegolide. Yasimbuza yathi: “Uyindodakazi kabani na? Ake ungitshele, kambe singazuza indawo yini emzini kayihlo kesicatshise amakhanda lamhla ebusuku?” Yathaba yafa isizwa ukuthi uRabheka wayezalwa ngubani. Kungenzakala ukuthi uRabheka waphendula esetatazela wathi: “Silotshani obunengi lamahlanga, kanye lendawo yokulala ikhona okwalamuhla ebusuku,” lo kwakungumusa omkhulu ngoba indoda le yayingahambi yodwa. URabheka wagijima phambili wayabikela unina ngokwakwenzakale emthonjeni.—UGenesisi 24:22-28, 32.
