Genesis 24:22-47

22WhenH3512 the camelsH1581 had finishedH3615 drinkingH8354, the manH376 tookH3947 a 1goldH2091 ringH5141 weighingH4948 a 2half-shekelH1235, and twoH8147 braceletsH6781 for her 3wristsH3027 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, “4I 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 5bowedH6915 lowH6915 and worshipedH2331 the LordH3068. 27And he saidH559, “6BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, the GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, whoH834 has not abandonedH5800 7His kindnessH2617 and His trustworthinessH571 towardH4480H5973 my masterH113; as for me, 8the LordH3068 has guidedH5148 me in the wayH1870 to the houseH1004 of my master’sH113 brothersH251.”

28Then 9the youngH5291 womanH5291 ranH7323 and toldH5046 her mother’sH517 householdH1004 about theseH428 thingsH1697. 29Now RebekahH7259 had a brotherH251 whose nameH8034 was 10LabanH3837; and LabanH3837 ranH7323 outsideH2351 to the manH376 at the springH5871. 30When he sawH7200 the ringH5141 and the braceletsH6781 on his sister’sH269 11wristsH3027, and when he heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his sisterH269 RebekahH7259, sayingH559, “12ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the manH376 saidH1696 to me,” he wentH935 to the manH376; and beholdH2009, he was standingH5975 by the camelsH1581 at the springH5871. 31And he saidH559, “13ComeH935 inH935, 14blessedH1288 of the LordH3068! WhyH4100 do you standH5975 outsideH2351, since 15I have preparedH6437 the houseH1004, and a placeH4725 for the camelsH1581?” 32So the manH376 enteredH935 the houseH1004. Then 1617Laban unloadedH6605 the camelsH1581, and he gaveH5414 strawH8401 and feedH4554 to the camelsH1581, and waterH4325 to washH7364 his feetH7272 and the feetH7272 of the menH376 whoH834 were with him. 33But when food was setH7760 beforeH6440 him to eatH398, he saidH559, “I will not eatH398 untilH5704H518 I have statedH1696 my businessH1697.” And he saidH559, “SpeakH1696 on.” 34So he saidH559, “I am 18Abraham’sH85 servantH5650. 35The LordH3068 has greatlyH3966 19blessedH1288 my masterH113, so that he has becomeH1431 20richH1431; and He has givenH5414 him 21flocksH6629 and herdsH1241, and silverH3701 and goldH2091, and servantsH5650 and slaveH8198 womenH8198, and camelsH1581 and donkeysH2543. 36Now 22my master’sH113 wifeH802 SarahH8283 boreH3205 a sonH1121 to my masterH113 23in her oldH2209 ageH2209, and 24he has givenH5414 him allH3605 that he has. 3725My masterH113 made me swearH7650, sayingH559, ‘You shall not takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 from the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669, in whoseH834 landH776 I liveH3427; 38but you shall goH1980 to my father’sH1 houseH1004 and to my relativesH4940, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121.’ 39Then 26I saidH559 to my masterH113, ‘SupposeH194 the womanH802 does not followH1980H310 me.’ 40And he saidH559 to me, ‘27The LordH3068, beforeH6440 whomH834 I have 28walkedH1980, will sendH7971 29His angelH4397 with you to makeH6743 your journeyH1870 successfulH6743, and you will takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 from my relativesH4940 and from my father’sH1 houseH1004; 4130thenH227 you will beH5352 freeH5352 from my oathH423, whenH3588 you comeH935 to my relativesH4940; and ifH518 they do not giveH5414 her to you, you will be freeH5355 from my oathH423.’

42“So 31I cameH935 todayH3117 to the springH5871, and saidH559, ‘LordH3068, GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, ifH518 nowH4994 You will makeH6743 my journeyH1870 on whichH834 I have been goingH1980 32successfulH6743; 43beholdH2009, 33I am standingH5324 by the 34springH5871, and may it be that the 35youngH5959 unmarriedH5959 womanH5959 who comesH3318 outH3318 to drawH7579 water, and to whom I sayH559, “36PleaseH4994 letH8248 me drinkH8248 a littleH4592 waterH4325 from your jarH3537”; 44and she saysH559 to me, “You drinkH8354, and I will drawH7579 for your camelsH1581 alsoH1571”--let her be the womanH802 whomH834 the LordH3068 has appointedH3198 for my master’sH113 sonH1121.’

45“BeforeH2962 I had finishedH3615 37speakingH1696 in my heartH3820, beholdH2009, 38RebekahH7259 cameH3318 outH3318 with her jarH3537 on her shoulderH7926, and wentH3381 downH3381 to the springH5871 and drewH7579 water, and 39I saidH559 to her, ‘PleaseH4994 letH8248 me drinkH8248.’ 46She quicklyH4116 loweredH3381 her jarH3537 from her shoulder, and saidH559, ‘40DrinkH8354, and I will waterH8248 your camelsH1581 alsoH1571’; so I drankH8354, and she wateredH8248 the camelsH1581 alsoH1571. 4741Then I askedH7592 her, and saidH559, ‘WhoseH4310 daughterH1323 are you?’ And she saidH559, ‘The daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328, Nahor’sH5152 sonH1121, whomH834 MilcahH4435 boreH3205 to him’; and I putH7760 the 42ringH5141 on her noseH639, and the braceletsH6781 on her 43wristsH3027.
