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.

21 Meanwhile, the man was taking a close look at her in silence, to find out whether the LORD had made his journey successful or not.

22 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 he said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room for us to stay overnight at your father’s house?”

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

25 Again she said to him, “We have plenty of both straw and feed, and room to stay overnight.”

26 Then the man bowed low and worshiped the LORD.

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