Genesis 24:17-27 ▼

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

18 And she said, “Drink, my lord”; and 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 draw also for your camels until they have finished drinking.”

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

21 Meanwhile, the man was gazing at her in silence, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey successful or not.

22 Now it happened that when the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half-shekel and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels in gold,

23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there a place for us to lodge in your father’s house?”

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 to him, “We have plenty of both straw and feed, and a place to lodge in.”

26 Then the man bowed low and worshiped Yahweh.

27 And he said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His lovingkindness and His truth toward my master; as for me, Yahweh has guided me in the way to the house of my master’s brothers.”
