Genesis 24:29-49
29And RebekahH7259 had a brotherH251, and his nameH8034 was LabanH3837: and LabanH3837 ranH7323 outH413 unto the manH376, unto the fountain.
30And it cameH935 to passH935, when he sawH7200 the ringH5141, and the braceletsH6781 uponH5921 his sister’sH269 handsH3027, and when he heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of RebekahH7259 his sisterH269, sayingH559, ThusH3541 spake the manH376 unto meH413; that he cameH935 unto the manH376; and, beholdH2009, he stoodH5975 by the camelsH1581 at the fountain.
31And he saidH559, ComeH935 in, thou blessedH1288 of the LORDH3068; wherefore standest thou without? for I have preparedH6437 the houseH1004, and roomH1004 for the camelsH1581.
32And the manH376 cameH935 intoH935 the houseH1004, and he ungirded the camelsH1581; and he gaveH5414 strawH8401 and provender for the camelsH1581, and waterH4325 to washH7364 his feetH7272 and the men’sH376 feetH7272 that were with him.
33And there was set meat beforeH6440 him to eatH398: but he saidH559, I will notH3808 eatH398, untilH5704 I have toldH559 mine errand. And he saidH559, SpeakH1696 on.
34And he saidH559, I am Abraham’sH85 servantH5650.
35And the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 my masterH113 greatlyH3966; and he is becomeH1431 greatH1431: and he hath givenH5414 him flocksH6629 and herdsH1241, and silverH3701 and goldH2091, and menservants and maidservantsH8198, and camelsH1581 and asses.
36And SarahH8283 my master’sH113 wifeH802 bare a sonH1121 to my masterH113 when sheH834 was oldH1121: and unto him hath he givenH5414 allH3605 that he hath.
37And my masterH113 madeH7650 meH3947 swearH7650, sayingH559, Thou shalt notH3808 takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 of the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669, in whoseH834 landH776 I dwellH3427:
38but thou shalt go unto my father’sH1 houseH1004, and to my kindred, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121.
39And I saidH559 unto my masterH113, Peradventure the womanH802 will notH3808 followH310 meH413.
40And he saidH559 unto meH413, The LORDH3068, beforeH6440 whomH834 I walkH1980, will sendH7971 his angelH4397 with thee, and prosperH6743 thy wayH1870; and thou shalt takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 of my kindred, and of my father’sH1 houseH1004:
41then shalt thou be clearH5352 from my oathH423, when thou comest to my kindred; and ifH518 they giveH5414 herH413 notH3808 to thee, thou shalt be clearH5352 from my oathH423.
42And I cameH935 this dayH3117 unto the fountain, and saidH559, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, ifH518 nowH4994 thou doH518 prosperH6743 my wayH1870 whichH834 I goH1980:
43beholdH2009, I standH5324 by the fountain of waterH4325; and letH4994 it comeH1961 to passH1961, that the maidenH5959 whichH4325 cometh forthH3318 to drawH7579, to whom I shall sayH559, GiveH8248 meH413, I prayH4994 thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 of thy pitcherH3537 to drinkH8248;
44and sheH1931 shall sayH559 to meH413, BothH1571 drinkH8354 thou, and I will also drawH7579 for thy camelsH1581: let the sameH1931 be the womanH802 whomH834 the LORDH3068 hath appointedH3198 for my master’sH113 sonH1121.
45And beforeH2962 I had done speakingH1696 in mine heartH3820, beholdH2009, RebekahH7259 cameH3318 forthH3318 with herH413 pitcherH3537 on herH413 shoulderH7926; and sheH3820 wentH3318 downH3381 unto the fountain, and drewH7579: and I saidH559 unto herH413, LetH4994 meH413 drinkH8248, I prayH4994 thee.
46And sheH8248 madeH4116 hasteH4116, and letH3381 downH3381 herH5921 pitcherH3537 from herH5921 shoulder, and saidH559, DrinkH8354, and I will giveH8248 thy camelsH1581 drinkH8354 also: soH1571 I drankH8354, and sheH8248 madeH4116 the camelsH1581 drinkH8354 also.
47And I askedH7592 herH5921, and saidH559, WhoseH834 daughterH1323 art thou? And sheH834 saidH559, The daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328, Nahor’sH5152 sonH1121, whomH834 MilcahH4435 bare unto him: and I putH7760 the ringH5141 uponH5921 herH5921 noseH639, and the braceletsH6781 uponH5921 herH5921 handsH3027.
48And I bowedH7812 my head, and worshipped the LORDH3068, and blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, whichH834 had ledH5148 meH3947 in the rightH571 wayH1870 to takeH3947 my master’sH113 brother’sH251 daughterH1323 for his sonH1121.
49And nowH6258 ifH518 ye will dealH6213 kindly and trulyH571 with my masterH113, tellH5046 meH5046: and ifH518 notH3808, tellH5046 meH5046; that I may turnH6437 to the rightH3225 handH3225, or to the leftH8040.
