Compare all
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.  
17 And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.”
18 aSo she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink.  
19 And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”
20 Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether athe Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.  
22 So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden anose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold,  
23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father’s house for us1 to lodge?”  
24 So she said to him, a“I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.”  
25 Moreover she said to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge.”
26 Then the man abowed down his head and worshiped the Lord.  
27 And he said, a“Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken bHis mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the Lord cled me to the house of my master’s brethren.”  
28 So the young woman ran and told her mother’s household these things.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was aLaban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well.
