* And there was set (8675 ) meat before him to eat : but he said , I will not eat , until I have told mine errand . And he said , Speak on . * And he said , I am Abrahams servant . * And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly m @#od #; and he is become great : and he hath given him flocks tso #n #, and herds , and silver , and gold , and menservants , and maidservants , and camels , and asses . * And Sarah my masters wife bare a son to my master when she was old : and unto him hath he given all that he hath . * And my master made me swear , saying , Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites K @na #aniy #, in whose land I dwell : * But thou shalt go unto my fathers house , and to my kindred , and take a wife unto my son . * And I said unto my master , Peradventure the woman will not follow me . * And he said unto me , The LORD , before whom I walk , will send his angel with thee , and prosper thy way ; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred , and of my fathers house : * Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath , when thou comest to my kindred ; and if they give not thee one , thou shalt be clear from my oath . * And I came this day unto the well , and said , O LORD God of my master Abraham , if now thou do prosper my way which I go : * Behold , I stand by the well of water ; and it shall come to pass , that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water , and I say to her , Give me #, I pray thee , a little water of thy pitcher to drink ; * And she say to me , Both drink thou , and I will also draw for thy camels : let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my masters son . * And before I had done speaking in mine heart , behold , Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder ; and she went down unto the well , and drew water : and I said unto her , Let me drink , I pray thee . * And she made haste , and let down her pitcher from her shoulder , and said , Drink , and I will give # thy camels drink also : so I drank , and she made # the camels drink also . * And I asked her , and said , Whose daughter art thou ? And she said , The daughter of Bethuel B @thuw #el #, Nahors son , whom Milcah bare unto him : and I put the earring upon her face , and the bracelets upon her hands . * And I bowed down my head , and worshipped the LORD , and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham , which had led me in the right way to take my masters brothers daughter unto his son . * And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master , tell me : and if not , tell me ; that I may turn to the right hand , or to the left s @mo #wl #. * Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said , The thing proceedeth from the LORD : we cannot speak unto thee bad or good . * Behold , Rebekah is before thee , take her , and go , and let her be thy masters sons wife , as the LORD hath spoken . * And it came to pass , that , when Abrahams servant heard their words , he worshipped the LORD , bowing himself to the earth . * And the servant brought forth jewels of silver , and jewels of gold , and raiment , and gave them to Rebekah : he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things . * And they did eat and drink , he and the men that were with him , and tarried all night ; and they rose up in the morning , and he said , Send me away unto my master . * And her brother and her mother said , Let the damsel abide with us a few days , at the least ten ; after that she shall go . * And he said unto them , Hinder me not , seeing the LORD hath prospered my way ; send me away that I may go to my master .
