Genesis 24:15-28

15And it came to pass, before he had finishedH3615 speakingH1696, that, behold, RebekahH7259 came outH3318, whoH834 was bornH3205 to BethuelH1328, sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, the wifeH802 of NahorH5152, Abraham’sH85 brotherH251, with her pitcherH3537 upon her shoulderH7926. 16And the damselH5291 was veryH3966 fairH2896 to look uponH4758, a virginH1330, neither had any manH376 knownH3045 her: and she went downH3381 to the wellH5869, and filledH4390 her pitcherH3537, and came upH5927.1 17And the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meet herH7125, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, drinkH1572 a littleH4592 waterH4325 from thy pitcherH3537. 18And she saidH559, DrinkH8354, my lordH113: and she hastedH4116, and let downH3381 her pitcherH3537 upon her handH3027, and gave him a drinkH8248. 19And when she had finishedH3615 giving him drinkH8248, she saidH559, I will drawH7579 water for thy camelsH1581 also, till they have finishedH3615 drinkingH8354. 20And she hastedH4116, and emptiedH6168 her pitcherH3537 into the troughH8268, and ranH7323 again to the wellH875 to drawH7579 water, and drewH7579 for all his camelsH1581. 21And the manH376 wonderingH7583 at her held his peaceH2790, to knowH3045 whether the LORDH3068 had madeH6743 his journeyH1870 prosperousH6743 orH518 not. 22And it came to pass, as the camelsH1581 had finishedH3615 drinkingH8354, that the manH376 tookH3947 a goldenH2091 earringH5141 of half a shekelH1235 weightH4948, and twoH8147 braceletsH6781 for her wristsH3027 of tenH6235 shekels weightH4948 of goldH2091;2 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 to him, I am the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, whom she boreH3205 to NahorH5152. 25She saidH559 moreover to him, We have bothH1571 strawH8401 and feedH4554 enoughH7227, andH1571 roomH4725 to lodge inH3885. 26And the manH376 bowed his headH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068. 27And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, who hath not left my masterH113 destituteH5800H5973 of his mercyH2617 and his truthH571: I being in the wayH1870, the LORDH3068 led meH5148 to the houseH1004 of my master’sH113 brethrenH251. 28And the damselH5291 ranH7323, and toldH5046 these thingsH1697 to her mother’sH517 houseH1004.
