the servant told Isaac all that he had done
on Genesis 24:66-67
The servant makes his report and goes out of the book. Isaac brings her to the tent of his mother Sarah, three years after Sarah was buried at Machpelah, and the writer says Isaac loved her and that he was comforted after his mother's death. This is the first place in Genesis where a husband loves his wife.

And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. By what means he found out the person designed for his wife, and got knowledge of her father's house, to which he was introduced, and where he was made welcome; and what agreement he had made with the parents and relations of Rebekah to be his wife, whom he had brought with him.
