Genesis 24:22-28

22When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a 1gold ring weighing a 2half-shekel, and two bracelets for her 3wrists weighing ten shekels in gold, 23and he said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room for us to stay overnight at your father’s house?” 24She said to him, “4I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.” 25Again she said to him, “We have plenty of both straw and feed, and room to stay overnight.” 26Then the man 5bowed low and worshiped the Lord. 27And he said, “6Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned 7His kindness and His trustworthiness toward my master; as for me, 8the Lord has guided me in the way to the house of my master’s brothers.”

28Then 9the young woman ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
