10 Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, afor all his master’s goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to bthe city of Nahor.
11 And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time awhen women go out to draw water.
12 Then he asaid, “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please bgive me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Behold, here aI stand by the well of water, and bthe daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
14 Now 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 also give your camels a drink’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And aby this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
15 And it happened, abefore he had finished speaking, that behold, bRebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of cMilcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder.
16 Now the young woman awas very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up.
