23And saidH559, WhoseH4310 daughterH1323 art thouH859? tellH5046 me, I pray thee: is thereH3426 roomH4725 in thy father’sH1 houseH1004 for us to lodge inH3885? 24And she saidH559 unto him, I am the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, which she bareH3205 unto NahorH5152. 25She saidH559 moreover unto him, We have bothH1571 strawH8401 and provenderH4554 enoughH7227, andH1571 roomH4725 to lodge inH3885. 26And the manH376 bowed down his headH6915, and worshippedH7812 YhwhH3068. 27And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, who hath not left destituteH5973H5800 my masterH113 of his mercyH2617 and his truthH571: I being in the wayH1870, YhwhH3068 led meH5148 to the houseH1004 of my master’sH113 brethrenH251. 28And the damselH5291 ranH7323, and toldH5046 them of her mother’sH517 houseH1004 these thingsH1697.

29And RebekahH7259 had a brotherH251, and his nameH8034 was LabanH3837: and LabanH3837 ranH7323 outH2351 unto the manH376, unto the wellH5869. 30And it came to pass, when he sawH7200 the earringH5141 and braceletsH6781 upon his sister’sH269 handsH3027, and when he heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of RebekahH7259 his sisterH269, sayingH559, ThusH3541 spakeH1696 the manH376 unto me; that he cameH935 unto the manH376; and, behold, he stoodH5975 byH5921 the camelsH1581 at the wellH5869. 31And he saidH559, Come inH935, thou blessedH1288 of YhwhH3068; wherefore standestH5975 thou withoutH2351? for I have preparedH6437 the houseH1004, and roomH4725 for the camelsH1581.

32And the manH376 cameH935 into the houseH1004: and he ungirdedH6605 his camelsH1581, and gaveH5414 strawH8401 and provenderH4554 for the camelsH1581, and waterH4325 to washH7364 his feetH7272, and the men’sH582 feetH7272 that were with him. 33And there was setH3455H7760 meat before himH6440 to eatH398: but he saidH559, I will not eatH398, until I have toldH1696 mine errandH1697. And he saidH559, Speak onH1696.
