23“Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?” 24She answered him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.” She also said to him, “We have plenty of straw and feed and a place to spend the night.” 26Then the man knelt low, worshiped the Lord, 27and said, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld his kindness and faithfulness from my master. As for me, the Lord has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”
