Genesis 24:11–17

¹¹He 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.

¹²He 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;

¹⁴now 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.”

Rebekah Is Chosen

^15aBefore 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.

¹⁶The 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.

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