Genesis 24:10–27
10 Then the servant took ten camels from the camels of his master, and set out with a variety of agood things of his master’s in his hand; and he arose and went to 1Mesopotamia, to bthe city of Nahor.
11 He made the camels kneel down outside the city by athe well of water at evening time, bthe time when women go out to draw water.
12 He said, “aO Lord, the God of my master Abraham, please 1bgrant me success today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham.
13 “Behold, aI am standing by the 1spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;
14 now may it be that the girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar so that I may drink,’ and 1who answers, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels also’—may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown lovingkindness to my master.”
15 aBefore he had finished speaking, behold, bRebekah who was born to Bethuel the son of cMilcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.
16 The girl was avery beautiful, a virgin, and no man had 1had relations with her; and she went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.
17 Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, “aPlease let me drink a little water from your jar.”
18 aShe said, “Drink, my lord”; and she quickly lowered her jar to her hand, and gave him a drink.
19 Now when she had finished giving him a drink, ashe said, “I will draw also for your camels until they have finished drinking.”
20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, and ran back to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.
21 aMeanwhile, the man was gazing at her 1in silence, to know whether the Lord had made his journey successful or not.
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a agold ring weighing a half-shekel and two bracelets for her 1wrists weighing ten shekels in gold,
23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room for us to lodge in your father’s house?”
24 She said to him, “aI am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
25 Again she said to him, “We have plenty of both straw and feed, and room to lodge in.”
26 Then the man abowed low and worshiped the Lord.
27 He said, “aBlessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken bHis lovingkindness and His truth toward my master; as for me, cthe Lord has guided me in the way to the house of my master’s brothers.”
