Genesis 24:17-27 ▼

17 And the servant runs to meet her and says, “Please let me swallow a little water from your pitcher”;

18 and she says, “Drink, my lord”; and she hurries, and lets down her pitcher on her hand, and gives him drink.

19 And she finishes giving him drink and says, “Also for your camels I draw until they have finished drinking”;

20 and she hurries, and empties her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and runs again to the well to draw, and draws for all his camels.

21 And the man, wondering at her, remains silent, to know whether YHWH has made his way prosperous or not.

22 And it comes to pass, when the camels have finished drinking, that the man takes a golden ring (whose weight [is] a bekah), and two bracelets for her hands (whose weight [is] ten [bekahs] of gold),

23 and says, “Whose daughter [are] you? Please declare to me, is the house of your father a place for us to lodge in?”

24 And she says to him, “I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she has borne to Nahor.”

25 She also says to him, “Both straw and provender [are] abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.”

26 And the man bows, and pays respect to YHWH,

27 and says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, who has not left off His kindness and His truth with my lord—I [being] in the way, YHWH has led me to the house of my lord’s brothers.”
