16 And the damsel was very fair in sight, a virgin, neither had any man known; and it will come down well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 And the servant ran to meet him, and said, Now let me drink a little water from your pitcher.
18 And she said, Drink, my lord. And she hurried, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19 And when she had done giving him drink, said: I will draw water for your camels until they have finished drinking.
20 And she hurried, and leaked her pitcher in the sink, and ran again to the well to draw water, and drew for all sus camels.
21 And the man was astonished to see her, shutting up, to know whether the Lord had prospered his journey or not.
22 And it came to ending the camels to drink, the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, weight ten cycles of gold
23 And said, Whose daughter are you? make-me, I pray thee; there is also in the house of your father place for us to lodge?
24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
25 And he said unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to spend the night.
26 Then leaned that man, and worshiped the LORD,
27 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who has not withdrawn his beneficence and his truth from my master, as for me, the Lord led the way to the house of my master.
28 And the damsel ran, and told these things in the house of his mother.
29 And Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to the man will supply.
30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke to me that man; He came to the man, and behold, he was standing by the camels will supply.
31 And he said, Come, blessed of the Lord, that you're out? I have prepared the house and place for the camels.
32 Then came one man to the house, and untied the camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33 Then they put to eat before him. And he said, I will not eat until I have told my words. And he said, Speak.
34 Then said, I am Abraham's servant.

36 And Sarah, the wife of my master bore a son to my master when she was old, and he gave it everything he has.
37 And my master made me swear, saying: Do not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 Wilt but to the house of my father, and will my family, and take a wife for my son.
39 And I said unto my master: Do not lead me to wife.
40 And he said unto me, Lord, in whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way to take a wife for my son from my family and from my father's house:
41 Then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou pa my family; and if they give not thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
42 And I came today will source, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham! if you now prosper my way in which I walk,
43 Behold, I stand near the water fountain: it is therefore that the maiden who comes out to draw, and will what I say: Now give me a little water from your pitcher;
44 And she says to me: drink thou also, and I will also draw for your camels; this is the woman that the Lord has appointed the son of my master.

46 And she hurried, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give to drink to your camels: and drank, and she also watered the camels.

48 And leaning loved the Lord, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of the brother of my master for his son.
49 Now therefore, if ye shall show Mercy and truth to my master, tell it to me to know; and if not, do to me know, so I look to the right hand or the left.
50 Then answered Laban and Bethuel, and said, The Lord proceeded this business; we can not speak to you bad or good.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee; take her, and go thy way; is the son of the wife of thy master, as the LORD hath spoken.
52 And it came to Abraham's servant heard their words, bent down to the earth before the Lord.

55 Then said his brother and his mother, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, or at least ten days, and then will.
56 And he said, Touch me not, for the Lord has prospered my way; send me away, that I may go to my master.
