Genesis 24:11–17

¹¹And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by ^athe well of water at evening time, ^bthe time when the women go out to draw water.

¹²And he said, “^aO Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please ^bcause this to happen before me today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham.

¹³“Behold, ^aI am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;

¹⁴now may it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar so that I may drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I will give water to your camels to drink also’—may she be the one whom You have decided for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown lovingkindness to my master.”

Rebekah Goes with Abraham’s Servant

^15aAnd before he had finished speaking, behold, ^bRebekah who was born to Bethuel the son of ^cMilcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, was coming out with her jar on her shoulder.

¹⁶Now the young woman was ^avery beautiful in appearance, a virgin, and no man had ¹known her; and she went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.

¹⁷Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “^aPlease give me a little water to drink from your jar.”
