Genesis 24:15-21

15And it came about, 1beforeH2962 he had finishedH3615 speakingH1696, that beholdH2009, 2RebekahH7259, whoH834 was bornH3205 to BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of 3MilcahH4435, the wifeH802 of Abraham’sH85 brotherH251 NahorH5152, cameH3318 outH3318 with her jarH3537 on her shoulderH7926. 16The youngH5291 womanH5291 was 4veryH3966 beautifulH2896, a virginH1330; noH3808 manH376 had 5hadH3045 relationsH3045 with her. She wentH3381 downH3381 to the springH5871, filledH4390 her jarH3537, and cameH5927 upH5927. 17Then the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meetH7122 her, and saidH559, “6PleaseH4994 let me drinkH1572 a littleH4592 waterH4325 from your jarH3537.” 18And 7she 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, 8she 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. 219Meanwhile, the manH376 was takingH7583 aH7583 closeH7583 lookH7583 at her 10inH2790 silenceH2790, to findH3045 outH3045 whether the LordH3068 had madeH6743 his journeyH1870 successfulH6743 orH518 not.
