And Yitzchak (Isaac) brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rivkah (Rebekah), and she became his wife; and he loved her. And Yitzchak (Isaac) was comforted for his mother.
Midrash Rabbah; Rashi
"For as long as Sarah lived, a cloud (signifying the Divine Presence) hung over her tent. When she died, the cloud disappeared; but when Rebekah came, it returned.
"For as long as Sarah lived, a cloud (signifying the Divine Presence) hung over her tent. When she died, the cloud disappeared; but when Rebekah came, it returned.
As long as Sarah lived, her doors were wide open. At her death, that openhandedness ceased; but when Rebekah came, it returned.
As long as Sarah lived, there was a blessing on her dough, and the lamp used to burn from the evening of the Shabbat until the evening of the following Shabbat. When she died, these ceased; but when Rebekah came, they returned."
