Genesis 24:33-53

33Then a meal was setH3455 beforeH6440 the man, but he saidH559, “I will notH3808H398 eatH398 untilH5704H518 I have told youH1696 what I came to sayH1697.”

So Laban saidH559, “Please speakH1696.”

34“IH595 am Abraham’sH85 servantH5650,” he repliedH559. 35“The LORDH3068 has greatlyH3966 blessedH1288 my masterH113, and he has become richH1431. He has givenH5414 him sheepH6629 and cattleH1241, silverH3701 and goldH2091, menservantsH5650 and maidservantsH8198, camelsH1581 and donkeysH2543. 36My master’sH113 wifeH802 SarahH8283 has borneH3205 him a sonH1121 inH310 her old ageH2209, and my master has givenH5414 him everything he ownsH3605.

37My masterH113 made me swear an oathH7650 and saidH559, ‘You shall notH3808 takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 from the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669 in whose landH776 IH595 dwellH3427, 38butH518H3808 you shall goH1980 toH413 my father’sH1 houseH1004 and toH413 my kindredH4940 to takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121.’

39Then I askedH559H413 my masterH113, ‘What ifH194 the womanH802 will notH3808 comeH1980 back with meH310?’

40And he toldH559 meH413, ‘The LORDH3068, beforeH6440 whomH834 I have walkedH1980, will sendH7971 His angelH4397 with youH854 and make your journeyH1870 a successH6743, so that you may takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 from my kindredH4940 and from my father’sH1 houseH1004. 41And whenH3588 you goH935 toH413 my kindredH4940, ifH518 they refuse toH3808 give herH5414 to you, thenH227 you will beH1961 releasedH5355 from my oathH423.’

42So when I cameH935 toH413 the springH5869 todayH3117, I prayedH559: O LORDH3068, GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, if onlyH518 You wouldH3426H4994 make my journeyH1870 a successH6743! 43HereH2009 I amH595, standingH5324 besideH5921 this springH5869H4325. NowH1961 if a maidenH5959 comes outH3318 to draw waterH7579 and I sayH559 to herH413, ‘PleaseH4994 let me drinkH8248 a littleH4592 waterH4325 from your jarH3537,’ 44and she repliesH559H413, ‘DrinkH8354H1571, and I will draw waterH7579 for your camelsH1581 as wellH1571H859,’ may sheH1931 be the womanH802 the LORDH3068 has appointedH3198 for my master’sH113 sonH1121.

45And beforeH2962 IH589 had finishedH3615 prayingH1696 inH413 my heartH3820, thereH2009 was RebekahH7259 coming outH3318 with her jarH3537 onH5921 her shoulderH7926, and she went downH3381 to the springH5869 and drew waterH7579. So I saidH559 to herH413, ‘PleaseH4994 give me a drinkH8248.’

46She quicklyH4116 loweredH3381 her jarH3537 from herH5921 shoulder and saidH559, ‘DrinkH8354, and I will waterH8248 your camelsH1581 as wellH1571.’ So I drankH8354, and she alsoH1571 wateredH8248 the camelsH1581.

47Then I asked herH7592, ‘WhoseH4310 daughterH1323 are youH859H559?’

She repliedH559, ‘The daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 sonH1121 of NahorH5152, whomH834 MilcahH4435 boreH3205 to him.’ So I putH7760 the ringH5141 onH5921 her noseH639 and the braceletsH6781 onH5921 her wristsH3027. 48Then I bowed downH6915 and worshipedH7812 the LORDH3068; and I blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, whoH834 led meH5148 on the rightH571 roadH1870 to takeH3947 the granddaughterH1323 of my master’sH113 brotherH251 for his sonH1121.

49NowH6258 ifH518 you willH3426 showH6213 kindnessH2617 and faithfulnessH571 toH854 my masterH113, tellH5046 me; but ifH518 notH3808, let me knowH5046, so that I may goH6437 elsewhereH5921H3225H176H8040.”

50LabanH3837 and BethuelH1328H559 answeredH6030, “This is fromH3318 the LORDH3068; we have no choiceH3808H3201H1696H413H7451H176H2896 in the matterH1697. 51RebekahH7259 is hereH2009 before youH6440. Take herH3947 and goH1980, and let her becomeH1961 the wifeH802 of your master’sH113 sonH1121, just asH834 the LORDH3068 has decreedH1696.”

52

WhenH834 Abraham’sH85 servantH5650 heardH8085 their wordsH1697, he bowed downH7812 to the groundH776 before the LORDH3068. 53Then heH5650 brought outH3318 jewelsH3627 of silverH3701H3627 and goldH2091, and articles of clothingH899, and he gave themH5414 to RebekahH7259. He also gaveH5414 precious giftsH4030 to her brotherH251 and her motherH517.
