    40He answered,‘The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with you. He will make your journey a success and you will find a wife for my son from among my relatives, from my father’s family.

    41You will be free from your oath if you go to my relatives and they will not give her to you. Then you will be free from your oath.’

    42When I came to the spring today, I prayed,‘O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if you have decided to make my journey successful, may events unfold as follows:

    43Here I am, standing by the spring. When the young woman goes out to draw water, I’ll say,“Please give me a little water to drink from your jug.”

    44Then she will reply to me,“Drink, and I’ll draw water for your camels too.” May that woman be the one whom the LORD has chosen for my master’s son.’

    45“Before I finished praying in my heart, along came Rebekah with her water jug on her shoulder! She went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her,‘Please give me a drink.’

    46She quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and said,‘Drink, and I’ll give your camels water too.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels water.

    47Then I asked her,‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied,‘The daughter of Bethuel the son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to Nahor.’ I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.

    48Then I bowed down and worshiped the LORD. I praised the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me on the right path to find the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.

    49Now, if you will show faithful love to my master, tell me. But if not, tell me as well, so that I may go on my way.”

    15Before he had finished praying, there came Rebekah with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah(Milcah was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor).

    17Abraham’s servant ran to meet her and said,“Please give me a sip of water from your jug.”

    18“Drink, my lord,” she replied, and quickly lowering her jug to her hands, she gave him a drink.

    19When she had done so, she said,“I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have drunk as much as they want.”

    20She quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw more water until she had drawn enough for all his camels.
