Genesis 24:12-52

12And he saidH559, Jehovah, 1GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, meet me, I pray thee, [with thy blessing] this dayH3117, and deal kindly with my masterH113 AbrahamH85.

13Behold, I standH5324 [hereH2009] by the well of waterH4325, and the daughtersH1323 of the menH376 of the cityH5892 comeH3318 out to drawH7579 waterH4325.

14And let it come to pass, [that] the maiden to whom I shall sayH559, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drinkH8354, and who will sayH559, DrinkH8354, and I will giveH8248 thy camelsH1581 drinkH8354 alsoH1571, beH1961 she whom thou hast appointedH3198 for thy servantH5650 IsaacH3327; and hereby I shall knowH3045 that thou hast dealt kindly with my masterH113.

15And it came to pass before he had endedH3615 speakingH1696, that behold, Rebecca came out, who wasH1961 bornH3205 to BethuelH1328, sonH1121 of MilcahH4435 the wifeH802 of NahorH5152, Abraham's brotherH251; and [she had] her pitcher upon her shoulderH7926.

16And the maiden was veryH3966 fair in countenance; a virginH1330, and no manH376 had knownH3045 her. And she wentH5927 downH3381 to the well, and filledH4390 her pitcher, and cameH5927 up.

17And the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meet her, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, sip a littleH4592 waterH4325 out of thy pitcher.

18And she saidH559, DrinkH8354, my lordH113! And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her handH3027, and gave him to drinkH8354.

19And when she had givenH8248 him enough to drinkH8354, she saidH559, I will drawH7579 [waterH8248] for thy camelsH1581 alsoH1571, until they have drunkH8354 enough.

20And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ranH7323 againH5750 to the wellH875 to drawH7579 [waterH7579]; and she drewH7579 for all his camelsH1581.

21And the manH376 was astonished at her, remaining silentH2790, to knowH3045 whether Jehovah had madeH3045 his journeyH1870 prosperous or not.

22And it came to pass when the camelsH1581 had drunkH8354 enough, that the manH376 tookH3947 a goldH2091 ringH5141, of half a shekel weightH4948, and twoH8147 braceletsH6781 for her handsH3027, tenH6235 [shekels] weightH4948 of goldH2091,

23and saidH559, Whose daughterH1323 art thou? tellH5046 me, I pray thee. Is there room [in] thy father's houseH1004 for us to lodge?

24And she saidH559 to him, I am the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, whom she boreH3205 to NahorH5152.

25And she saidH559 to him, There is strawH8401, and alsoH1571 muchH7227 provender with us; alsoH1571 roomH4725 to lodge.

26And the manH376 stooped, and bowedH7812 downH7812 before Jehovah,

27and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah, 2GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, who has not withdrawn his loving-kindness and his faithfulnessH571 from my masterH113; I being in the wayH1870, Jehovah has ledH5148 me to the houseH1004 of my master's brethren.

28And the maiden ranH7323 and toldH5046 these thingsH1697 to her mother's houseH1004.

29And Rebecca had a brotherH251, namedH8034 LabanH3837; and LabanH3837 ranH7323 out to the manH376, to the well.

30And it cameH935 to pass when he sawH7200 the ringH5141 and the braceletsH6781 on his sister's handH3027, and when he heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of Rebecca his sisterH269, sayingH559, ThusH3541 spokeH1696 the manH376 to me — that he cameH935 to the manH376, and behold, he wasH1961 standingH5975 by the camelsH1581, by the well.

31And he saidH559, ComeH935 in, blessedH1288 of Jehovah! whyH4100 standest thou outside? for I have prepared the houseH1004, and room for the camelsH1581.

32And the manH376 cameH935 into the houseH1004; and he ungirded the camelsH1581, and gaveH5414 the camelsH1581 strawH8401 and provender, and waterH4325 to washH7364 his feetH7272, and the feetH7272 of the menH376 who were with him.

33And there was set [meat] before him to eatH398; but he saidH559, I will not eatH398 until I have made known my business. And he saidH559, SpeakH1696 on.

34And he saidH559, I am Abraham's servantH5650.

35And Jehovah has blessedH1288 my masterH113 greatly, and he is becomeH1431 greatH1431; and he has givenH5414 him sheepH6629 and cattleH1241, and silverH3701 and goldH2091, and bondmen and bondwomen, and camelsH1581 and asses.

36And SarahH8283, my master's wifeH802, boreH3205 a sonH1121 to my masterH113 after she had grown old; and unto him has he givenH5414 all that he has.

37And my masterH113 madeH7650 me swearH7650, sayingH559, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 of the daughtersH1323 of the CanaaniteH3669, in whose landH776 I am dwellingH3427;

38but thou shalt by all means go to my father's houseH1004 and to my familyH4940, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121.

39And I saidH559 to my masterH113, PerhapsH194 the womanH802 will not follow me?

40And he saidH559 to me, Jehovah, before whom I have walkedH1980, will sendH7971 his angelH4397 with thee, and prosperH6743 thy wayH1870, that thou mayest takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 of my familyH4940, and out of my father's houseH1004.

41ThenH227 shalt thou beH1961 quit of my oathH423, when thou shalt have comeH935 to my familyH4940. And if they giveH5414 thee not [one], thou shalt beH1961 quit of my oathH423.

42And I cameH935 this dayH3117 to the well, and saidH559, Jehovah, 3GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, if now thou wilt prosperH6743 my wayH1870 on which I goH1980,

43behold, I standH5324 by the well of waterH4325, and let it come to pass that the damsel who cometh forthH3318 to drawH7579 [waterH4325], and to whom I shall sayH559, GiveH8248 me, I pray thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 out of thy pitcher to drinkH8248,

44and she shall sayH559 to me, Both drinkH8354 thou, and I will alsoH1571 drawH7579 for thy camelsH1581 — that she should be the womanH802 whom Jehovah hath appointedH3198 for my master's sonH1121.

45Before I endedH3615 speakingH1696 in my heartH3820, behold, Rebecca cameH3318 forthH3318 with her pitcher on her shoulderH7926, and wentH3318 downH3381 to the well, and drewH7579 [waterH8248]; and I saidH559 to her, GiveH8248 me, I pray thee, to drinkH8248.

46And she hasted and let down her pitcher from her [shoulder], and saidH559, DrinkH8354, and I will giveH8248 thy camelsH1581 drinkH8354 alsoH1571. And I drankH8354; and she gave the camelsH1581 drinkH8354 alsoH1571.

47And I askedH7592 her, and saidH559, Whose daughterH1323 art thou? And she saidH559, The daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328, Nahor's sonH1121, whom MilcahH4435 boreH3205 to him. And I putH7760 the ringH5141 on her noseH639, and the braceletsH6781 on her handsH3027.

48And I stooped, and bowedH7812 downH7812 before Jehovah; and I blessedH1288 Jehovah, 4GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, who has ledH5148 me the right wayH1870 to takeH3947 my master's brother's daughterH1323 for his sonH1121.

49And nowH6258, if ye will deal kindly and truly with my masterH113, tellH5046 me; and if not, tellH5046 me; and I will turnH6437 to the rightH3225 handH3225 or to the left.

50And LabanH3837 and BethuelH1328 answered and saidH559, The thingH1697 proceeds from Jehovah: we cannot speakH1696 to thee badH7451 or goodH2896.

51Behold, Rebecca is before thee: takeH3947 [her], and go awayH3947; and let her beH1961 wifeH802 of thy master's sonH1121, as Jehovah has saidH1696.

52And it came to pass, when Abraham's servantH5650 heardH8085 their wordsH1697, that he bowedH7812 downH7812 to the earthH776 before Jehovah.
