How Old Was Rivka Its A Befeirushe Tosfos

A Befeirushe Tosfos

Tosfos (DH Vechein Hu- Yevamos 61b) quotes 
Harav Shmuel Chasid Mi Shapira* (Speyer) who 
calculated according to the Sifri, Rivka was 12 years
old when she married Yitzchok.

Tosfos concludes that there are מדרשות חלוקים 
because according to the סדר עולם she was 3 years
old.


R. Shmuel Hachasid was one of the first 
Chasidei Ashkenaz (Kabbalist) He was the 
father of R Yehuda Hachasid and supposedly
wrote the first few Perakim of Sefer Chasidim.

He was also the author of the שיר היחוד

    In my Tosfos it says 14 years old - not 12!
