Genesis 24:22-28

22When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a fifth of an ounce and two gold bracelets weighing four ounces.

23He asked, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me whether there is room in your father’s house for us to spend the night.”

24She answered him, “I’m the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah and Nahor.

25We have plenty of straw and feed ⌞for your camels⌟ and room for you to spend the night.”

26The man knelt, bowing to the Lord with his face touching the ground.

27He said, “Praise the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord hasn’t failed to be kind and faithful to my master. The Lord has led me on this trip to the home of my master’s relatives.”

28The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
