Genesis 24:11–17

¹¹And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time when ^xwomen go out to draw water. ¹²And he said, “O Lord, ^yGod of my master Abraham, ^zplease grant me success today and show steadfast love to my master Abraham. ¹³Behold, ^aI am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. ¹⁴Let the young woman to whom I shall say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who shall say, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels’—let her be the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac. ^bBy this² I shall know that you have shown steadfast love to my master.”

¹⁵Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of ^cMilcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her water jar on her shoulder. ¹⁶The young woman ^dwas very attractive in appearance, a maiden³ whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up. ¹⁷Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar.”
