Genesis 24:23-33

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, “1I 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 2bowed low and worshiped the Lord. 27And he said, “3Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned 4His kindness and His trustworthiness toward my master; as for me, 5the Lord has guided me in the way to the house of my master’s brothers.”

28Then 6the young woman ran and told her mother’s household about these things. 29Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was 7Laban; and Laban ran outside to the man at the spring. 30When he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister’s 8wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, “9This is what the man said to me,” he went to the man; and behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring. 31And he said, “10Come in, 11blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside, since 12I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels?” 32So the man entered the house. Then 1314Laban unloaded the camels, and he gave straw and feed to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him. 33But when food was set before him to eat, he said, “I will not eat until I have stated my business.” And he said, “Speak on.”
