Genesis 24:10-14

10Then the servant took ten camels from the camels of his master, and went out with a variety of 1good things of his master’s in his hand; so he set out and went to 2Mesopotamia, to 3the city of Nahor. 11He made the camels kneel down outside the city by 4the well of water 5when it was evening, 6the time when women go out to draw water. 12And he said, “7Lord, God of my master Abraham, please 8 9grant me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13Behold, 10I am standing by the 11spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water; 14now may it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar so that I may drink,’ and 12who 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 kindness to my master.”
