That's not the translation I got, though it's funny.
"64 Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel. (NIV)
64And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. (KJV)
62-64 Isaac was living in the Negev. He had just come back from a visit to Beer Lahai Roi. In the evening he went out into the field; while meditating he looked up and saw camels coming. When Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac, she got down from her camel (The Message)
Guess it all depends on your translation, doesn't it?
Still funny.

There is reference to smoke in the New Testament too.
When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, meditating and praying, it is recorded 'and smoke came out of his nostrils.
Some people I know, cite this as evidence that Jesus smoked !!!

That's all right. When the devil sees you coming, he will stoke up the fire.
