matter.

And he made

his camels

to kneel down

without

the city

a well

of water

at the time

of the evening,

even the time

that women go out

to draw water.

And he said,

O Lord

God

of my master

Abraham,

I pray thee,

send me

good speed

this day,

and shew

kindness

unto

my master

Abraham.

Behold,

stand

here by

the well

of water;

and the daughters

of the men

of the city

come out

to draw

water:

And let it come to pass,

that the damsel

to whom

I shall say,

Let down

thy pitcher,

I pray thee,

that I may drink;

and she shall say,

Drink,

and I will give thy camels

drink

also:

let the same be she that thou hast appointed

for thy servant

Isaac;

and thereby shall I know

that

thou hast shewed

kindness

unto

my master.

And the damsel

was very

fair

to look upon,

a virgin,

neither

had any man

known

her: and she went down

to the well,

and filled

her pitcher,

and came up.

And the servant

ran

to meet her,

and said,

Let me, I pray thee,

drink

a little

water

of thy pitcher.

And she said,

Drink,

my lord:

and she hasted,

and let down

her pitcher

upon

her hand,

and gave him drink.

And when she had done

giving him drink,

she said,

I will draw

water for thy camels

also,

until

they have done

drinking.

And it came to pass,

the camels

had done

drinking,

that the man

took

a golden

earring

of half a shekel

weight,

and two

bracelets

for

her hands

of ten

shekels weight

of gold;

And said,

Whose

daughter

art thou?

tell

me, I pray thee:

is there

room

in thy father's

house

for us to lodge in?

And she said

unto

him, I

am the daughter

of Bethuel

the son

of Milcah,

which

she bare

unto Nahor.

She said

moreover unto

him, We have both

straw

and

provender

enough,

and

room

to lodge in.

And the man

bowed down his head,

and worshipped

the Lord.

And he said,

Blessed

be the Lord

God

of my master

Abraham,

who

hath not

left destitute

my master

of his mercy

and his truth:

being in the way,

the Lord

led me

to the house

of my master's

brethren.

And the damsel

ran,

and told

them of her mother's

house

these

things.

And Rebekah

had a brother,

and his name

was Laban:

and Laban

ran

out

unto

the man,

unto

the well.

And it came to pass,

when he saw

the earring

and bracelets

upon

his sister's

hands,

and when he heard

the words

of Rebekah

his sister,

saying,

Thus

spake

the man

unto

me; that he came

unto

the man;

and, behold,

he stood

the camels

the well.

And there was set

meat before him

to eat:

but he said,

I will not

eat,

until

I have told

mine errand.

And he said,

Speak on.

And he said,

am Abraham's

servant.

And Sarah

my master's

wife

bare

a son

to my master

when

she was old:

and unto him hath he given

all

that

he hath.
