Genesis 24:15-24

151BeforeH2962 he had finishedH3615 speakingH1696, beholdH2009, 2RebekahH7259 whoH834 was bornH3205 to BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of 3MilcahH4435, the wifeH802 of Abraham’sH85 brotherH251 NahorH5152, cameH3318 out with her jarH3537 on her shoulderH7926. 16The girlH5291 was 4veryH3966 beautifulH2896, a virginH1330, and noH3808 manH376 had 5hadH3045 relationsH3045 with her; and she wentH3381 downH3381 to the springH5871 and filledH4390 her jarH3537 and cameH5927 up. 17Then the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meetH7122 her, and saidH559, “6PleaseH4994 let me drinkH1572 a littleH4592 waterH4325 from your jarH3537.” 187She saidH559, “DrinkH8354, my lordH113”; and she quicklyH4116 loweredH3381 her jarH3537 to her handH3027, and gaveH8248 him a drinkH8248. 19Now when she had finishedH3615 givingH8248 him a drinkH8248, 8she saidH559, “I will drawH7579 alsoH1571 for your camelsH1581 untilH5704H518 they have finishedH3615 drinkingH8354.” 20So she quicklyH4116 emptiedH6168 her jarH3537 into the troughH8268, and ranH7323 backH5750 to the wellH875 to drawH7579, and she drewH7579 for allH3605 his camelsH1581. 219Meanwhile, the manH376 was gazingH7583 at her 10in silenceH2790, to knowH3045 whether the LordH3068 had madeH6743 his journeyH1870 successfulH6743 orH518 not.

22WhenH3512 the camelsH1581 had finishedH3615 drinkingH8354, the manH376 tookH3947 a 11goldH2091 ringH5141 weighingH4948 a half-shekelH1235 and twoH8147 braceletsH6781 for her 12wristsH3027 weighingH4948 tenH6235 shekels in goldH2091, 23and saidH559, “WhoseH4310 daughterH1323 are you? PleaseH4994 tellH5046 me, is thereH3426 roomH4725 for us to lodgeH3885 in your father’sH1 houseH1004?” 24She saidH559 to him, “13I am the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328, the sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, whomH834 she boreH3205 to NahorH5152.”
