Genesis 24:11-15

11He made the camels kneel down outside the city by 1the well of water 2when it was evening, 3the time when women go out to draw water. 12And he said, “4Lord, God of my master Abraham, please 5 6grant me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13Behold, 7I am standing by the 8spring, 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 9who 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.”

15And it came about, 10before he had finished speaking, that behold, 11Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of 12Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.
