What does the Bible say about how Isaac got a wife?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes how Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac, emphasizing the importance of choosing from among his own people rather than the Canaanites.

In Genesis 24, Abraham, being well advanced in age, sent his servant to find a wife for his son Isaac. He specifically instructed the servant not to take a wife from the Canaanites, who were seen as ungodly and cursed, but rather to go to his own kindred. This act signifies the seriousness of the covenant and God's promise to Abraham regarding his descendants. The broader picture reflects God's providence in seeking a bride for His Son, Jesus Christ, drawing parallels between obtaining Isaac's wife and Christ’s bride – the Church.
