Genesis 24:22-28

22After the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels and gave them to her.

23“Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “Tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”

24She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom Milcah bore to Nahor.

25We have plenty of straw and feed,” she added, “and room for you to spend the night.”

26The man bowed his head and worshiped the Lord,

27saying “Praised be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his faithful love for my master! The Lord has led me to the house of my master’s relatives!”

28The young woman ran and told her mother’s household all about these things.
