42“So 1I came today to the spring, and said, ‘O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if now You will make my journey on which I go 2successful; 43behold, 3I am standing by the 4spring, and may it be that the maiden who comes out to draw, and to whom I say, “5Please let me drink a little water from your jar”; 44and she will say to me, “You drink, and I will draw for your camels also”; let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.’

45“Before I had finished 6speaking in my heart, behold, 7Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder, and went down to the spring and drew, and 8I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
