Rebecca was likely a young woman, possibly in her teens or older, when she married Isaac, not a child of three years old. Although some traditions claim she was three, this is based on assumptions linking events in the Bible that are not explicitly stated as concurrent. The Bible describes Rebecca as a woman who goes out alone to draw water and is asked for her consent to the marriage, indicating maturity. Isaac was 40 years old when he married Rebecca, but there is no solid scriptural evidence that Rebecca was very young; rather, she is described in ways consistent with being a young adult at marriage.
