Genesis 24:11-15

11As evening approachedH6153H6256, he made the camelsH1581 kneel downH1288 nearH413 the wellH875H4325 outsideH2351 the townH5892 at the timeH6256 when the women went outH3318 to draw waterH7579.

12“O LORDH3068, GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85,” he prayedH559, “pleaseH4994 grant me success todayH7136H6440H3117, and showH6213 kindnessH2617 toH5973 my masterH113 AbrahamH85. 13HereH2009 I amH595, standingH5324 besideH5921 the springH5869H4325, and the daughtersH1323 of the townspeopleH582H5892 are coming outH3318 to drawH7579 waterH4325. 14Now may it happenH1961 that the girlH5291 toH413 whomH834 I sayH559, ‘PleaseH4994 let downH5186 your jarH3537 that I may drinkH8354,’ and who respondsH559, ‘DrinkH8354, and I will waterH8248 your camelsH1581 as wellH1571’—let her be the one You have appointedH3198 for Your servantH5650 IsaacH3327. By this I will knowH3045 thatH3588 You have shownH6213 kindnessH2617 toH5973 my masterH113.”
