Isaac had been trained in the fear of God to a life of obedience. And when he was forty years old, he submitted to have the God-fearing, experienced servant of his father choose for him. He believed that God would direct in regard to his obtaining a wife. {1SP 104.2}

Isak var blevet oplært i Gudsfrygt til et liv i lydighed. Og da han var fyrre år gammel, underlagde han sig den gudfrygtige, erfarne tjener som hans fader valgte til ham.
