17 And the servant ran to meet her and said, Let me drink a little water from your pitcher. 18 And she said, Drink, my lord; and she hastened and let down the pitcher upon her hands 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 are all watered. 20 So she hastened and emptied her pitcher into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water, and she drew water for all his camels. 21 And as the man watered his camels he scrutinized her, and waited to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not. 22 And it came to pass, when the camels were through drinking, the man took golden earrings weighing a shekel and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold, 23 And said to her, Whose daughter are you? tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge? 24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor. 25 And she said moreover to him, We have plenty of straw and hay, and room to lodge in. 26 And the man knelt on the ground and worshipped the LORD. 27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld his grace and his truth from my master; while I was on the road, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brother, to take his brother's daughter to his son.
