Genesis 24:10-20

10And the servantH5650 tookH3947 tenH6235 camelsH1581, of the camelsH1581 of his masterH113, and departed, having all goodly things of his master’sH113 in his handH3027: and he aroseH6965, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the cityH5892 of NahorH5152. 11And he made the camelsH1581 to kneel down without the cityH5892 by the wellH875 of waterH4325 at the timeH6256 of eveningH6153, the timeH6256 that women goH3318 out to drawH7579 waterH4325. 12And he saidH559, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, send me, I pray thee, good speed this dayH3117, and show kindness unto my masterH113 AbrahamH85. 13Behold, I am standingH5324 by the fountain of waterH4325; and the daughtersH1323 of the menH376 of the cityH5892 are comingH3318 out to drawH7579 waterH4325: 14and let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall sayH559, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drinkH8354; and she shall sayH559, DrinkH8354, and I will giveH8248 thy camelsH1581 drinkH8354 alsoH1571: let the same beH1961 she that thou hast appointedH3198 for thy servantH5650 IsaacH3327; and thereby shall I knowH3045 that thou hast showed kindness unto my masterH113. 15And it came to pass, before he had done speakingH1696, that, behold, RebekahH7259 came out, who wasH1961 bornH3205 to BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, the wifeH802 of NahorH5152, Abraham’s brotherH251, with her pitcher upon her shoulderH7926. 16And the damsel was veryH3966 fair to look upon, a virginH1330, neither had any manH376 knownH3045 her: and she wentH5927 downH3381 to the fountain, and filledH4390 her pitcher, and cameH5927 up. 17And the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meet her, and saidH559, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 from thy pitcher. 18And she saidH559, DrinkH8354, my lordH113: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her handH3027, and gave him drinkH8354. 19And when she had done givingH8248 him drinkH8354, she saidH559, I will drawH7579 for thy camelsH1581 alsoH1571, until they have done drinkingH8354. 20And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ranH7323 againH5750 unto the wellH875 to drawH7579, and drewH7579 for all his camelsH1581.
