Genesis 24:15-28

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27and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah, 1GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, who has not withdrawn his loving-kindness and his faithfulnessH571 from my masterH113; I being in the wayH1870, Jehovah has ledH5148 me to the houseH1004 of my master's brethren.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.
