I wondered recently about what conclusions we should make concerning Abraham’s work in Isaac’s marriage as recorded in Genesis. Especially since we have a number of different courtship methods mentioned in the Bible. I just came across Proverbs 19.14, which I think fits rather well:
House and wealth are inherited from fathers,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Of course, ironically, Rebekah’s prudence eventually makes her Isaac’s opponent, at least when it came to which of their children would inherit house and wealth.
