Genesis 24:15-20

15And it came about, 1before he had finished speaking, that behold, 2Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of 3Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.

16The young woman was 4very beautiful, a virgin; no man had 5had relations with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up.

17Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, “6Please let me drink a little water from your jar.”

18And 7she said, “Drink, my lord”; then she quickly lowered her jar to her hand, and gave him a drink.

19Now when she had finished giving him a drink, 8she said, “I will also draw water 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.
