    16The young woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up again.

    17The 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 him a drink.

    19After she had given him a drink, she said, "I'll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink."
