*
Then he said , "
O LORD God of my master Abraham ,
please give me success this day ,
and show kindness to my master Abraham .
*
Behold ,
here I stand by the well of water ,
and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water .
*
Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say , "
Please let down your pitcher that I may drink ,'
and she says , "
Drink ,
and I will also give your camels a drink '--
let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac .
And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master ."
*
And it happened ,
before he had finished speaking ,
that behold ,
Rebekah ,
who was born to Bethuel ,
son of Milcah ,
the wife of Nahor ,
Abraham '
s brother ,
came out with her pitcher on her shoulder .
*
Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold ,
a virgin ;
no man had known her .
And she went down to the well ,
filled her pitcher ,
and came up .
*
And the servant ran to meet her and said , "
Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher ."
*
So she said , "
Drink ,
my lord ."
Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand ,
and gave him a drink .
*
And when she had finished giving him a drink ,
she said , "
I will draw water for your camels also ,
until they have finished drinking ."
*
Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough ,
ran back to the well to draw water ,
and drew for all his camels .
*
And the man ,
wondering at her ,
remained silent so as to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not .
*
So it was ,
when the camels had finished drinking ,
that the man took a golden nose ring weighing half a shekel ,
and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold ,
*
and said , "
Whose daughter are you ?
Tell me ,
please ,
is there room in your father '
s house for us to lodge ?"
*
So she said to him , "
I am the daughter of Bethuel ,
Milcah '
s son ,
whom she bore to Nahor ."
*
Moreover she said to him , "
We have both straw and feed enough ,
and room to lodge ."
*
Then the man bowed down his head and worshiped the LORD .
*
And he said , "
Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham ,
who has not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master .
As for me ,
being on the way ,
the LORD led me to the house of my master '
s brethren ."
*
So the young woman ran and told her mother '
s household these things .
*
Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban ,
and Laban ran out to the man by the well .
*
So it came to pass ,
when he saw the nose ring ,
and the bracelets on his sister '
s wrists ,
and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah ,
saying , "
Thus the man spoke to me ,"
that he went to the man .
And there he stood by the camels at the well .
*
And he said , "
Come in ,
O blessed of the LORD !
Why do you stand outside ?
For I have prepared the house ,
and a place for the camels ."
