1 And Abraham <085> was old <02204> (8804), and well stricken <0935> (8804) in age <03117> : and the LORD <03068> had blessed <01288> (8765) Abraham <085> in all things.
2 And Abraham <085> said <0559> (8799) unto his eldest <02205> servant <05650> of his house <01004> , that ruled over <04910> (8802) all that he had, Put <07760> (8798), I pray thee, thy hand <03027> under my thigh <03409>:
3 And I will make thee swear <07650> (8686) by the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of heaven <08064>, and the God <0430> of the earth <0776>, that thou shalt not take <03947> (8799) a wife <0802> unto my son <01121> of the daughters <01323> of the Canaanites <03669>, among <07130> whom I dwell <03427> (8802):
4 But thou shalt go <03212> (8799) unto my country <0776>, and to my kindred <04138>, and take <03947> (8804) a wife <0802> unto my son <01121> Isaac <03327>.
5 And the servant <05650> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Peradventure the woman <0802> will not be willing <014> (8799) to follow <03212> (8800) me <0310> unto this land <0776>: must I needs bring <07725> (8687) thy son <01121> again <07725> (8686) unto the land <0776> from whence thou camest <03318> (8804)?
6 And Abraham <085> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Beware <08104> (8734) thou that thou bring <07725> <00> not <06435> my son <01121> thither again <07725> (8686).
7 The LORD <03068> God <0430> of heaven <08064>, which took me <03947> (8804) from my father#s <01> house <01004>, and from the land <0776> of my kindred <04138>, and which spake <01696> (8765) unto me, and that sware <07650> (8738) unto me, saying <0559> (8800), Unto thy seed <02233> will I give <05414> (8799) this land <0776>; he shall send <07971> (8799) his angel <04397> before thee <06440>, and thou shalt take <03947> (8804) a wife <0802> unto my son <01121> from thence.

8 And if the woman <0802> will not be willing <014> (8799) to follow <03212> (8800) thee <0310>, then thou shalt be clear <05352> (8738) from this my oath <07621>: only bring <07725> <00> not my son <01121> thither again <07725> (8686).
9 And the servant <05650> put <07760> (8799) his hand <03027> under the thigh <03409> of Abraham <085> his master <0113>, and sware <07650> (8735) to him concerning <05921> that <02088> matter <01697>.
10 And the servant <05650> took <03947> (8799) ten <06235> camels <01581> of the camels <01581> of his master <0113>, and departed <03212> (8799); for all the goods <02898> of his master <0113> were in his hand <03027> : and he arose <06965> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) to Mesopotamia <0763>, unto the city <05892> of Nahor <05152> .
11 And he made <01288> <00> his camels <01581> to kneel down <01288> (8686) without <02351> the city <05892> by <0413> a well <0875> of water <04325> at the time <06256> of the evening <06153>, even the time <06256> that women go out <03318> (8800) to draw <07579> (8802) water.
12 And he said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, I pray thee, send me <06440> good speed <07136> (8685) this day <03117>, and shew <06213> (8798) kindness <02617> unto <05973> my master <0113> Abraham <085>.
13 Behold, I stand <05324> (8737) here by the well <05869> of water <04325>; and the daughters <01323> of the men <0582> of the city <05892> come out <03318> (8802) to draw <07579> (8800) water <04325>:
14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel <05291> to whom I shall say <0559> (8799), Let down <05186> (8685) thy pitcher <03537>, I pray thee, that I may drink <08354> (8799); and she shall say <0559> (8804), Drink <08354> (8798) , and I will give <08248> <00> thy camels <01581> drink <08248> (8686) also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed <03198> (8689) for thy servant <05650> Isaac <03327>; and thereby shall I know <03045> (8799) that thou hast shewed <06213> (8804) kindness <02617> unto my master <0113>.
15 And it came to pass, before he had done <03615> (8765) speaking <01696> (8763), that, behold, Rebekah <07259> came out <03318> (8802), who <0834> was born <03205> (8795) to Bethuel <01328>, son <01121> of Milcah <04435> , the wife <0802> of Nahor <05152>, Abraham#s <085> brother <0251>, with her pitcher <03537> upon her shoulder <07926> .
16 And the damsel <05291> was very <03966> fair <02896> to look upon <04758>, a virgin <01330>, neither had any man <0376> known <03045> (8804) her: and she went down <03381> (8799) to the well <05869>, and filled <04390> (8762) her pitcher <03537>, and came up <05927> (8799).
17 And the servant <05650> ran <07323> (8799) to meet her <07125> (8800), and said <0559> (8799) , Let me, I pray thee, drink <01572> (8685) a little <04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher <03537>.
18 And she said <0559> (8799), Drink <08354> (8798), my lord <0113>: and she hasted <04116> (8762) , and let down <03381> (8686) her pitcher <03537> upon her hand <03027>, and gave him drink <08248> (8686).
19 And when she had done <03615> (8762) giving him drink <08248> (8687), she said <0559> (8799), I will draw <07579> (8799) water for thy camels <01581> also, until they have done <03615> (8765) drinking <08354> (8800).
20 And she hasted <04116> (8762), and emptied <06168> (8762) her pitcher <03537> into the trough <08268> , and ran <07323> (8799) again unto the well <0875> to draw <07579> (8800) water, and drew <07579> (8799) for all his camels <01581>.
21 And the man <0376> wondering <07583> (8693) at her held his peace <02790> (8688), to wit <03045> (8800) whether the LORD <03068> had made <06743> <00> his journey <01870> prosperous <06743> (8689) or <0518> not.
22 And it came to pass, as the camels <01581> had done <03615> (8765) drinking <08354> (8800), that the man <0376> took <03947> (8799) a golden <02091> earring <05141> of half a shekel <01235> weight <04948>, and two <08147> bracelets <06781> for her hands <03027> of ten <06235> shekels weight <04948> of gold <02091>;
23 And said <0559> (8799), Whose <04310> daughter <01323> art thou <0859>? tell <05046> (8685) me, I pray thee: is there <03426> room <04725> in thy father#s <01> house <01004> for us to lodge in <03885> (8800)?
24 And she said <0559> (8799) unto him, I am the daughter <01323> of Bethuel <01328> the son <01121> of Milcah <04435>, which she bare <03205> (8804) unto Nahor <05152>.
25 She said <0559> (8799) moreover unto him, We have both <01571> straw <08401> and provender <04554> enough <07227>, and <01571> room <04725> to lodge in <03885> (8800).
26 And the man <0376> bowed down his head <06915> (8799), and worshipped <07812> (8691) the LORD <03068>.
27 And he said <0559> (8799), Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, who hath not left destitute <05800> (8804) <05973> my master <0113> of his mercy <02617> and his truth <0571>: I being in the way <01870>, the LORD <03068> led me <05148> (8804) to the house <01004> of my master#s <0113> brethren <0251>.
28 And the damsel <05291> ran <07323> (8799), and told <05046> (8686) them of her mother#s <0517> house <01004> these things <01697>.
29 And Rebekah <07259> had a brother <0251>, and his name <08034> was Laban <03837>: and Laban <03837> ran <07323> (8799) out <02351> unto the man <0376>, unto the well <05869>.
30 And it came to pass, when he saw <07200> (8800) the earring <05141> and bracelets <06781> upon his sister#s <0269> hands <03027>, and when he heard <08085> (8800) the words <01697> of Rebekah <07259> his sister <0269>, saying <0559> (8800), Thus <03541> spake <01696> (8765) the man <0376> unto me; that he came <0935> (8799) unto the man <0376>; and, behold, he stood <05975> (8802) by <05921> the camels <01581> at the well <05869>.
31 And he said <0559> (8799), Come in <0935> (8798), thou blessed <01288> (8803) of the LORD <03068>; wherefore standest <05975> (8799) thou without <02351>? for I have prepared <06437> (8765) the house <01004>, and room <04725> for the camels <01581>.
32 And the man <0376> came <0935> (8799) into the house <01004>: and he ungirded <06605> (8762) his camels <01581>, and gave <05414> (8799) straw <08401> and provender <04554> for the camels <01581>, and water <04325> to wash <07364> (8800) his feet <07272>, and the men#s <0582> feet <07272> that were with him.
33 And there was set <07760> (8714) (8675) <03455> (8799) meat before him <06440> to eat <0398> (8800): but he said <0559> (8799), I will not eat <0398> (8799), until I have told <01696> (8765) mine errand <01697>. And he said <0559> (8799), Speak on <01696> (8761).
34 And he said <0559> (8799), I am Abraham#s <085> servant <05650>.
35 And the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> (8765) my master <0113> greatly <03966>; and he is become great <01431> (8799): and he hath given <05414> (8799) him flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and silver <03701>, and gold <02091>, and menservants <05650>, and maidservants <08198>, and camels <01581>, and asses <02543>.
36 And Sarah <08283> my master#s <0113> wife <0802> bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121> to my master <0113> when <0310> she was old <02209>: and unto him hath he given <05414> (8799) all that he hath.
37 And my master <0113> made me swear <07650> (8686), saying <0559> (8800), Thou shalt not take <03947> (8799) a wife <0802> to my son <01121> of the daughters <01323> of the Canaanites <03669>, in whose land <0776> I dwell <03427> (8802):
38 But <0518> thou shalt go <03212> (8799) unto my father#s <01> house <01004>, and to my kindred <04940> , and take <03947> (8804) a wife <0802> unto my son <01121>.
39 And I said <0559> (8799) unto my master <0113>, Peradventure the woman <0802> will not follow <03212> (8799) <0310> me.
40 And he said <0559> (8799) unto me, The LORD <03068>, before <06440> whom I walk <01980> (8694), will send <07971> (8799) his angel <04397> with thee, and prosper <06743> (8689) thy way <01870>; and thou shalt take <03947> (8804) a wife <0802> for my son <01121> of my kindred <04940>, and of my father#s <01> house <01004>:
41 Then shalt thou be clear <05352> (8735) from this my oath <0423>, when thou comest <0935> (8799) to my kindred <04940>; and if they give <05414> (8799) not thee one, thou shalt be clear <05355> from my oath <0423>.
42 And I came <0935> (8799) this day <03117> unto the well <05869>, and said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, if now thou do <03426> prosper <06743> (8688) my way <01870> which I go <01980> (8802):
43 Behold, I stand <05324> (8737) by the well <05869> of water <04325>; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin <05959> cometh forth <03318> (8802) to draw <07579> (8800) water, and I say <0559> (8804) to her, Give me <08248> <00>, I pray thee, a little <04592> water <04325> of thy pitcher <03537> to drink <08248> (8685);
44 And she say <0559> (8804) to me, Both drink <08354> (8798) thou, and I will also draw <07579> (8799) for thy camels <01581>: let the same be the woman <0802> whom the LORD <03068> hath appointed out <03198> (8689) for my master#s <0113> son <01121>.
45 And before I had done <03615> (8762) speaking <01696> (8763) in mine heart <03820>, behold, Rebekah <07259> came forth <03318> (8802) with her pitcher <03537> on her shoulder <07926>; and she went down <03381> (8799) unto the well <05869>, and drew <07579> (8799) water: and I said <0559> (8799) unto her, Let me drink <08248> (8685) , I pray thee.
46 And she made haste <04116> (8762), and let down <03381> (8686) her pitcher <03537> from her shoulder , and said <0559> (8799), Drink <08354> (8798), and I will give <08248> <00> thy camels <01581> drink <08248> (8686) also: so I drank <08354> (8799), and she made <08248> <00> the camels <01581> drink <08248> (8689) also.
47 And I asked <07592> (8799) her, and said <0559> (8799), Whose daughter <01323> art thou? And she said <0559> (8799), The daughter <01323> of Bethuel <01328>, Nahor#s <05152> son <01121>, whom Milcah <04435> bare <03205> (8804) unto him: and I put <07760> (8799) the earring <05141> upon her face <0639>, and the bracelets <06781> upon her hands <03027>.
48 And I bowed down my head <06915> (8799), and worshipped <07812> (8691) the LORD <03068>, and blessed <01288> (8762) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of my master <0113> Abraham <085>, which had led me <05148> (8689) in the right <0571> way <01870> to take <03947> (8800) my master#s <0113> brother#s <0251> daughter <01323> unto his son <01121>.
49 And now if ye will <03426> deal <06213> (8802) kindly <02617> and truly <0571> with my master <0113> , tell <05046> (8685) me: and if not, tell <05046> (8685) me; that I may turn <06437> (8799) to the right hand <03225> , or <0176> to the left <08040>.
50 Then Laban <03837> and Bethuel <01328> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), The thing <01697> proceedeth <03318> (8804) from the LORD <03068>: we cannot <03201> (8799) speak <01696> (8763) unto thee bad <07451> or <0176> good <02896>.
51 Behold, Rebekah <07259> is before thee <06440>, take <03947> (8798) her, and go <03212> (8798), and let her be thy master#s <0113> son#s <01121> wife <0802>, as the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765).
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham#s <085> servant <05650> heard <08085> (8804) their words <01697>, he worshipped <07812> (8691) the LORD <03068>, bowing himself to the earth <0776>.
53 And the servant <05650> brought forth <03318> (8686) jewels <03627> of silver <03701>, and jewels <03627> of gold <02091>, and raiment <0899>, and gave <05414> (8799) them to Rebekah <07259>: he gave <05414> (8804) also to her brother <0251> and to her mother <0517> precious things <04030>.
54 And they did eat <0398> (8799) and drink <08354> (8799), he and the men <0582> that were with him, and tarried all night <03885> (8799); and they rose up <06965> (8799) in the morning <01242>, and he said <0559> (8799) , Send me away <07971> (8761) unto my master <0113>.
55 And her brother <0251> and her mother <0517> said <0559> (8799), Let the damsel <05291> abide <03427> (8799) with us a few days <03117>, at the least <0176> ten <06218>; after <0310> that she shall go <03212> (8799).
56 And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Hinder me <0309> (8762) not, seeing the LORD <03068> hath prospered <06743> (8689) my way <01870>; send me away <07971> (8
