01:024:016 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.
01:024:017 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray
thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
01:024:018 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her
pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
01:024:019 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw
water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
01:024:020 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and
ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his
camels.
01:024:021 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether
the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
01:024:022 And it came to pass, as 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;
01:024:023 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is
there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
01:024:024 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of
Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
01:024:025 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender
enough, and room to lodge in.
01:024:026 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
01:024:027 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:
I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my
master's brethren.
01:024:028 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these
things.
01:024:029 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban
ran out unto the man, unto the well.
01:024:030 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 by the camels at
the well.
01:024:031 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore
standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room
for the camels.
01:024:032 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels,
and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash
his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
01:024:033 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.
01:024:034 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
