17 And 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.” And she hurried and lowered her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink.

19 And she finished giving him a drink, and she said, “Also for your camels I will draw until … they have finished drinking.”

20 And she hurried, and she emptied her jar into the trough, and she ran again to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.

21 And the man gazed at her remaining silent, to know whether YHWH had made his way prosperous or not.

22 And it came to pass, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden ring, a beka its weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten shekels of gold their weight.

23 And he said, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please. Is there a place in the house of your father for us to lodge?”

24 And she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”

25 And she said to him, “Both straw and feed are abundant with us, and also a place to lodge.”

26 And the man bowed his head and worshiped to YHWH.

27 And he said, “Blessed be YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, who has not forsaken His kindness and His truth toward my lord; I, being on the way, YHWH has led me to the house of the brother of my lord.”
