GEN 24:1–27, engwebp
¹Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. The LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
²Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.
³I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
⁴But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
⁵The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
⁶Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.
⁷The LORD, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
⁸If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
⁹The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
¹⁰The servant took ten of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
¹¹He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
¹²He said, “LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
¹³Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
¹⁴Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”
¹⁵Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
¹⁶The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
¹⁷The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
¹⁸She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
¹⁹When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”
²⁰She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
²¹The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
²²As the camels had finished drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
²³and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
²⁴She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
²⁵She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
²⁶The man bowed his head, and worshiped the LORD.
²⁷He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
