*
And it came to pass ,
as the camels had done drinking ,
that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight ,
and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold ;
*
And said ,
Whose daughter art thou ?
tell me ,
I pray thee :
is there room in thy fathers house for us to lodge in ?
*
And she said unto him ,
I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah ,
which she bare unto Nahor .
*
She said moreover unto him ,
We have both straw and provender enough ,
and room to lodge in .
*
And the man bowed down his head ,
and worshipped the LORD .
*
And he said ,
Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham ,
who hath not left destitute #
my master of his mercy and his truth :
I being in the way ,
the LORD led me to the house of my masters brethren .
*
And the damsel ran ,
and told them of her mothers house these things .
*
And Rebekah had a brother ,
and his name was Laban :
and Laban ran out unto the man ,
unto the well .
*
And it came to pass ,
when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sisters hands ,
and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister ,
saying ,
Thus spake the man unto me ;
that he came unto the man ;
and ,
behold ,
he stood by the camels at the well .
*
And he said ,
Come in ,
thou blessed of the LORD ;
wherefore standest thou without ?
for I have prepared the house ,
and room for the camels .
*
And the man came into the house :
and he ungirded his camels ,
and gave straw and provender for the camels ,
and water to wash his feet ,
and the mens feet that were with him .
*
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 .
