Genesis 24:10-20
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 78grant 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.”
1512Before he had finished speaking, behold, 13Rebekah who was born to Bethuel the son of 14Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder. 16The girl was 15very beautiful, a virgin, and no man had 16had relations with her; and she went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up. 17Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, “17Please let me drink a little water from your jar.” 1818She said, “Drink, my lord”; and she quickly lowered her jar to her hand, and gave him a drink. 19Now when she had finished giving him a drink, 19she said, “I will draw also for your camels until they have finished drinking.” 20So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, and ran back to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.
