An allegory is a type of story where characters, events, and places correspond directly to ideas and characters in other stories. Genesis 24 is both a history of what happened and an allegory of how the church is to be lead by the Lord. In Genesis 24, Abraham sends his servant to find a wife for his son Isaac from among his people. The Lord leads the servant through a series of answers to pray to Rebecca. Rebecca proves herself to the servant and to the Lord and returns with the servant to marry Isaac. She becomes the mother of Esau and Jacob.
