Genesis 24:15-28

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.

22WhenH3512 the camelsH1581 had finishedH3615 drinkingH8354, the manH376 tookH3947 a 11goldH2091 ringH5141 weighingH4948 a 12half-shekelH1235, and twoH8147 braceletsH6781 for her 13wristsH3027 weighingH4948 tenH6235 shekels in goldH2091, 23and he saidH559, “WhoseH4310 daughterH1323 are you? PleaseH4994 tellH5046 me, isH3426 thereH3426 roomH4725 for us to stayH3885 overnightH3885 at your father’sH1 houseH1004?” 24She saidH559 to him, “14I am the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328, Milcah’sH4435 sonH1121, whomH834 she boreH3205 to NahorH5152.” 25Again she saidH559 to him, “We have plentyH7227 of bothH1571 strawH8401 and feedH4554, and roomH4725 to stayH3885 overnightH3885.” 26Then the manH376 15bowedH6915 lowH6915 and worshipedH2331 the LordH3068. 27And he saidH559, “16BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, the GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, whoH834 has not abandonedH5800 17His kindnessH2617 and His trustworthinessH571 towardH4480H5973 my masterH113; as for me, 18the LordH3068 has guidedH5148 me in the wayH1870 to the houseH1004 of my master’sH113 brothersH251.”

28Then 19the youngH5291 womanH5291 ranH7323 and toldH5046 her mother’sH517 householdH1004 about theseH428 thingsH1697.
