13 Behold, I am standing by the spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;

14 now may it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar so that I may drink,’ and who answers, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels also’—may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

15 And it came about, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.

16 The young woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had had relations with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up.

17 Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your jar.”

18 And she said, “Drink, my lord”; then she quickly lowered her jar to her hand, and gave him a drink.

19 Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels until they have finished drinking.”

20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, and ran back to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.
