    38but you shall go to my father's house and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.'

    39And I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'

    40But he said to me, 'The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father's house.

    41You will be clear from this oath when you arrive among my family, for if they will not give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.'

    42And this day I came to the well and said, 'O LORD God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go,

    43behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,"

    47Then I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' And she said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.

    48And I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.

    49Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left."

    14Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, 'Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also'—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master."

    15And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother.

    16Now the young woman was very fair to look upon, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up.

    17And the servant ran to meet her and said, "Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher."

    18And she said, "Drink, my lord." Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand and gave him a drink.

    19And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking."
