01:024:007 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house,
and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware
unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his
angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
01:024:008 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then
thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither
again.
01:024:009 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his
master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
01:024:010 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master,
and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he
arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
01:024:011 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a
well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go
out to draw water.
01:024:012 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.
01:024:013 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters
of the men of the city come out to draw water:
01:024:014 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.
01:024:015 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,
behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the
wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
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.
