Genesis 24:23-33

23and said, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge?”

24So she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.”

25Moreover she said to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge.”

26Then the man bowed down his head and worshiped the Lord.

27And he said, “Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.”

28So the young woman ran and told her mother’s household these things.

29Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well.

30So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, “Thus the man spoke to me,” that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well.

31And he said, “Come in, O blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.”

32Then the man came to the house. And he unloaded the camels, and provided straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

33Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told about my errand.” And he said, “Speak on.”
