Amplified Bible
Genesis 24:15-24
15Before Eliezer had finished speaking (praying), Rebekah came out with her [water] jar on her shoulder. Rebekah was the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.
16The girl was very beautiful, a virgin and unmarried; and she went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.
17Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your jar.”
18And she said, “Drink, my lord”; and she quickly lowered her jar to her hand, and gave him a drink.
19When she had given Eliezer a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels until they have finished drinking.”
20So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, and ran again to the well and drew water for all his camels.
21Meanwhile, the man stood gazing at Rebekah in [reverent] silence, [waiting] to know if the Lord had made his trip successful or not.
22When the camels had finished drinking, Eliezer took a gold ring weighing a half-shekel and two bracelets for her hands weighing ten shekels in gold,
23and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge?”
24And she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to [her husband] Nahor.”
