Genesis 24:10-20

10Then the servantH5650 tookH3947 tenH6235 camelsH1581 from the camelsH1581 of his masterH113, and wentH1980 out with a varietyH3605 of 1goodH2898 thingsH2898 of his master’sH113 in his handH3027; so he setH6965 outH6965 and wentH1980 to 2MesopotamiaH763, to 3the cityH5892 of NahorH5152. 11He made the camelsH1581 kneelH1288 downH1288 outsideH4480H2351 the cityH5892 by 4the wellH875 of waterH4325 5when it was eveningH6153, 6the timeH6256 when women goH3318 outH3318 to drawH7579 waterH7579. 12And he saidH559, “7LordH3068, GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, pleaseH4994 89grantH7136 me successH7136 todayH3117, and showH6213 kindnessH2617 to my masterH113 AbrahamH85. 13BeholdH2009, 10I am standingH5324 by the 11springH5871, and the daughtersH1323 of the menH376 of the cityH5892 are comingH3318 outH3318 to drawH7579 waterH4325; 14now may it be that the youngH5291 womanH5291 to whomH834 I sayH559, ‘PleaseH4994 letH5186 downH5186 your jarH3537 so that I may drinkH8354,’ and 12who answersH559, ‘DrinkH8354, and I will waterH8248 your camelsH1581 alsoH1571’--may she be the one whom You have appointedH3198 for Your servantH5650 IsaacH3327; and by this I will knowH3045 that You have shownH6213 kindnessH2617 to my masterH113.”

15And it came about, 13beforeH2962 he had finishedH3615 speakingH1696, that beholdH2009, 14RebekahH7259, whoH834 was bornH3205 to BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of 15MilcahH4435, the wifeH802 of Abraham’sH85 brotherH251 NahorH5152, cameH3318 outH3318 with her jarH3537 on her shoulderH7926. 16The youngH5291 womanH5291 was 16veryH3966 beautifulH2896, a virginH1330; noH3808 manH376 had 17hadH3045 relationsH3045 with her. She wentH3381 downH3381 to the springH5871, filledH4390 her jarH3537, and cameH5927 upH5927. 17Then the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meetH7122 her, and saidH559, “18PleaseH4994 let me drinkH1572 a littleH4592 waterH4325 from your jarH3537.” 18And 19she saidH559, “DrinkH8354, my lordH113”; then she quicklyH4116 loweredH3381 her jarH3537 to her handH3027, and gaveH8248 him aH8248 drinkH8248. 19Now when she had finishedH3615 givingH8248 him aH8248 drinkH8248, 20she saidH559, “I will alsoH1571 drawH7579 water for your camelsH1581 untilH5704H518 they have finishedH3615 drinkingH8354.” 20So she quicklyH4116 emptiedH6168 her jarH3537 into the troughH8268, and ranH7323 backH5750 to the wellH875 to drawH7579, and she drewH7579 for allH3605 his camelsH1581.
