Genesis 24:11–17

¹¹He made the camels kneel beside a well of water outside the town at evening. This was the time when the women went out to draw water.

¹²“Lord, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “give me success today, ^tand show kindness to my master Abraham. ¹³I am standing here ^uat the spring where the daughters of the men of the town are coming out to draw water. ¹⁴Let the girl to whom I say, ‘Please lower your water jug so that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels also’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. By this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

¹⁵Before he had finished speaking, there was Rebekah—daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, ^vthe wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor—coming with a jug on her shoulder. ¹⁶Now the girl was very beautiful, ^wa young woman who had not known a man intimately. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came up. ¹⁷Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me have a little water from your jug.”
