The Morning Psalm
Girl's name

Rebekah

To bind; captivating

Origin HebrewSay ruh-BEK-uh

Rebekah's story begins at a well, where she watered the camels of a stranger's servant — the very sign of character he had prayed for. Asked whether she would leave home to marry a man she had never met, she gave one of Scripture's bravest answers: I will go. And Isaac loved her.

She became the mother of Jacob and Esau, and though her later favouritism brought grief, her name is bound up with a beautiful picture of providence and a bride who trusted God's leading into the unknown.

Rebekah is a graceful, romantic classic — warmly shortened to Becca or Beck.
