15.Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of the Milcah, who was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor.
16.The girl was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever lain with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again.
17.The servant hurried to meet her and said, "Please give me a little water from your jar."
18."Drink, my lord," she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave hi a drink.
19.After she had given him a drink, she said, "I'll draw water for your camels too, until they have finished drinking."
20.So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all the camels.
21.Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey successful.
22.When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels.
23.Then he asked, "Whose daughter are you? Pleased tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?"
24.She answered him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of the Milcah bore to Nahor."
25.And she added, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, as well as room for you to spend the night."
26.Then the man bowed down and worshiped the Lord,
27.saying, "Praise be to the Lord, the God of master Abraham, who had not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the Lord had led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives."
28.The girl ran and told her mather's household about these things.
29.Now Rebecah had a brother named Laban, and he hurried to the man at the spring.
30.As soon as he had seen the nose ring, and the bracelets on her sisters arms, and had heard Rebecah tell what the man said to her, he went out to the man and found him standing by the carmels near the spring.
31."Come, you who are blessed by the Lord," he said, "Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels."
32.So the man went to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and fodder were brought for the camels, and water for him and his men to wash their feet.
33.Then food was set before him, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told you what I have to say."
"Then tell us," Laban said.
34.So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
35.The Lord had blessed my master abundantly, and he had become wealthy. He had given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, and camels and donkeys.
36.My master's wife Sarah had borne him a son in her old age, and he had given himeverything he owns.
37.And my master made me swear on oath, and said, 'You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
38.but go to my father's family and to my own clan, and get a wife for my son."
39."Then I asked my master, 'What if the woman will not come back with me?'
40."He replied, 'The Lord, before whom I have walked, will sand his angel with you and make your journey a success, so that you can get a wife for my son from my own clan and from my father's family.
41.Then, when you go to my clan, you will be released from my oath even if they refuse to give her to you- you will be released from my oath.'
42."When I came to the spring today, I said, 'O Lord, God of my master Abraham, if you will, please grant success to the journey on which I have come.
43.See, I am standing beside thins spring; if a maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, "Please let me drink a little water from your jar,"
44.and if she says to me, "Drink, and I will draw water for your camels too," let her be the one the Lord had chosen for my master's son.'
45."Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebecah came out, with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water, and I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
46."She quicky lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too.' So I drank, and she watered the camels also.
47."I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?'
"She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom micah bore to him.'
"Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms,
48.and I bowed down and wirshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me on the right road to get the grannaughter on my master's brother for his son.
49.Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, so I may knoe which way to turn."
50.Laban and Bethuel answered, "This is from the Lord; we can say nothing to you one way or the other.
51.Here is Rebekah; take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as the Lord has directed."
52.When Abraham's servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the Lord.
53.Then the servant brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothing and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave costly gifts to her brother and to her mother.
54.Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the noght there.
When they got up the next morning, he said, "Send me on my way to my master."
55.But her brother and her mother replied, "Let the girl remain with us ten days or so; then you may go."
56.But he said to them, "Do not retain me, now the Lord has granted success to my journey. Send me on my way so I may go to my master."
57.Then they said, "Let's call the girl and ask her about it."
58.So they called Rebekah and asked her, "Will you go with this man?"
"I will go," she said.
59.So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham's servant and his men.
60.And they blessed Rebekah and said to her,
"Our sister, may you increase
to thousands upon thousands;
may your offspring possess
the gate of their enemies."
61.Then Rebekah and her maids got ready and mounted their camels and went back with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.
62.Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the Negev.
63.He went out to the field on eveing to mediate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching.
64.Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel
65.and asked the servant, "Who is that man in th field coming to meet us?"
"He is my master," the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.
66.Then the servant Isaac all he had done.
67.Isaac brought her inot the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
