    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.”

    50Then Laban and Bethuel replied,“This is the LORD’s doing. Our wishes are of no concern.

    51Rebekah stands here before you. Take her and go so that she may become the wife of your master’s son, just as the LORD has decided.”

    27saying“Praised be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his faithful love for my master! The LORD has led me to the house of my master’s relatives!”

    29(Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban.) Laban rushed out to meet the man at the spring.

    30When he saw the bracelets on his sister’s wrists and the nose ring and heard his sister Rebekah say,“This is what the man said to me,” he went out to meet the man. There he was, standing by the camels near the spring.

    31Laban said to him,“Come, you who are blessed by the LORD! Why are you standing out here when I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?”

    32So Abraham’s servant went to the house and unloaded the camels. Straw and feed were given to the camels, and water was provided so that he and the men who were with him could wash their feet.

    11He made the camels kneel down by the well outside the city. It was evening, the time when the women would go out to draw water.

    12He prayed,“O LORD, God of my master Abraham, guide me today. Be faithful to my master Abraham.

    13Here I am, standing by the spring, and the daughters of the people who live in the town are coming out to draw water.

    14I will say to a young woman,‘Please lower your jar so I may drink.’ May the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac reply,‘Drink, and I’ll give your camels water too.’ In this way I will know that you have been faithful to my master.”

    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).

    16Now the young woman was very beautiful. She was a virgin; no man had ever been physically intimate with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came back up.

    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.

    21Silently the man watched her with interest to determine if the LORD had made his journey successful or not.

    22After the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold wrist bracelets weighing ten shekels and gave them to her.
