Isaac needs a wife, but Abraham wants her to be from his family. So he sends his chief servant to find her. He prays, and then Rebekah appears as the answer to that prayer. Moreover, she agrees to leave her home and become Isaac's wife--sight unseen!
Without Rebekah there is no Jacob, and thus no Jesus. Enjoy and reflect upon these renditions by two dozen artists of Rebekah and her story.

My favorite wife-finding in the Bible is in Genesis where Cain goes to the land of Nod and takes a wife. Who were her parents?

Adam and Eve—Cain married one of his sisters.

How many of these mystery sisters were there?

The Bible does not specify, either by quantity or name. Since Adam lived 930 years, and Eve may have had a similar lifespan, a reasonable conjecture is that they produced many daughters.

It’s interesting that the men were important enough to be named and have stories about them, but the women weren’t.

Yeah, nobody remembers Eve, or Sarah, or Hagar.

Your supposition and thus your premise may be faulty, that importance was determinative.

God has many different methods for bringing couples together. His interest is in populating heaven, and He created this elaborate system to produce its citizens.

I enjoyed preparing that. I like nuptials.
