will I give this land; he shall send his angel before

thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

{24:8} And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee,

then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not

my son thither again. {24:9} And the servant put his hand

under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him

concerning that matter.

{24:10} And the servant took ten camels of the camels of

his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master

[were] in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia,

unto the city of Nahor. {24:11} And he made his camels to

kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of

the evening, [even] the time that women go out to draw

[water. ]{24:12} And he said, O LORD God of my master

Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and

shew kindness unto my master Abraham. {24:13} Behold, I

stand [here] by the well of water; and the daughters of the

men of the city come out to draw water: {24:14} And let it

come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down

thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say,

Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: [let the same

be] she [that] thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and

thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto

my master.

{24:15} And it came to pass, before he had done

speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to

Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s

brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. {24:16} And

the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither


had any man known her: and she went down to the well,

and filled her pitcher, and came up. {24:17} And the

servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink

a little water of thy pitcher. {24:18} And she said, Drink,

my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her

hand, and gave him drink. {24:19} And when she had done

giving him drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy

camels also, until they have done drinking. {24:20} And she

hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran

again unto the well to draw [water,] and drew for all his

camels. {24:21} And the man wondering at her held his

peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey

prosperous or not. {24:22} And it came to pass, as the

camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden

earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her

hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold; {24:23} And said,

Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there

room [in] thy father’s house for us to lodge in? {24:24} And

she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son of

Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. {24:25} She said

moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender

enough, and room to lodge in. {24:26} And the man bowed

down his head, and worshipped the LORD. {24:27} And he

said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master Abraham,

who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his

truth: I [being] in the way, thewill I give this land; he shall send his angel before

thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
