Genesis 24:23-33

23and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge?

24And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.

25And she said to him, There is straw, and also much provender with us; also room to lodge.

26And the man stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah,

27and said, Blessed be Jehovah, 1God of my master Abraham, who has not withdrawn his loving-kindness and his faithfulness from my master; I being in the way, Jehovah has led me to the house of my master's brethren.

28And the maiden ran and told these things to her mother's house.

29And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.

30And it came to pass when he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister's hand, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me — that he came to the man, and behold, he was standing by the camels, by the well.

31And he said, Come in, blessed of Jehovah! why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

32And the man came into the house; and he ungirded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who were with him.

33And there was set [meat] before him to eat; but he said, I will not eat until I have made known my business. And he said, Speak on.
