Genesis 24:10-14

10Then the servant took ten camels from the camels of his master, and set out with a variety of 1good things of his master’s in his hand; and he arose and went to 2Mesopotamia, to 3the city of Nahor. 11He made the camels kneel down outside the city by 4the well of water at evening time, 5the time when women go out to draw water. 12He said, “6O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, please 7 8grant me success today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham. 13Behold, 9I am standing by the 10spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water; 14now may it be that the girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar so that I may drink,’ and 11who answers, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels also’--may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown lovingkindness to my master.”
