11 Near evening, at the time when women go out to draw water, he made the camels kneel by the well outside the city. 12 Then he said: “LORD, God of my master Abraham, let it turn out favorably for me today and thus deal graciously with my master Abraham. 13 While I stand here at the spring and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water, 14 if I say to a young woman, ‘Please lower your jug, that I may drink,’ and she answers, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels, too,’ then she is the one whom you have decided upon for your servant Isaac. In this way I will know that you have dealt graciously with my master.” Genesis 24:11-14, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
