14 yrs old

Parshas Hashavua חיי שרה
 
Tosfos ( יבמות ס"א ע"ב ד"ה וכן הוא) quotes
Harav Shmuel Chasid Mi Shapira* (Speyer) who
calculated according to the Sifri, that Rivka was
14 years old when she married Yitzchok.

Tosfos concludes that there are מדרשות חלוקים
because according to the סדר עולם she was
only 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 also was the author of the שיר היחוד
