Genesis 24:60

And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

And they blessed Rebekah. Their parting benediction consists of two parts-the first,

Be thou the mother of thousands of millions. This, of course, is an hyperbolical expression, intimating a hope that she would have a numerous posterity, which was considered a most honoured position for a wife to occupy; and the second, that her family might enjoy prosperity and independence (see the note at Genesis 22:17).
