GE-24:1 And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and

the LORD

had blessed Abraham in all things.

GE-24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house,
that

ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my
thigh:

GE-24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of
heaven,

and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto
my son

of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

GE-24:4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred,
and

take a wife unto my son Isaac.

GE-24:5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman
will

not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring
thy son

again unto the land from whence thou camest?

GE-24:6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring
not my

son thither again.

GE-24:7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's
house,

and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and
that

sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he
shall

send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my
son

from thence.

GE-24:8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee,
then

thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son
thither

again.

GE-24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham
his

master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

GE-24:10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his
master,

and departed; for all the goods of his master [were] in his hand:
and

he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

GE-24:11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city
by a

well of water at the time of the evening, [even] the time that
women

go out to draw [water].

GE-24:12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray
thee,

send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master
Abraham.

GE-24:13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the

daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

GE-24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I
shall

say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she

shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: [let
the same

be] she [that] thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and
thereby

shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master.

GE-24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,

behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah,
the

wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her
shoulder.

GE-24:16 And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin,

neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and

filled her pitcher, and came up.

GE-24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I
pray

thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

GE-24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let
down

her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

GE-24:19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I
will

draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

GE-24:20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the
trough, and

ran again unto the well to draw [water], and drew for all his
camels.

GE-24:21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit
whether

the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

GE-24:22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking,
that

the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two

bracelets for her hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold;

GE-24:23 And said, Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray
thee:

is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge in?

GE-24:24 And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel
the

son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

GE-24:25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and
provender

enough, and room to lodge in.

GE-24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the
LORD.

GE-24:27 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master
Abraham,

who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth:
I

[being] in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's

brethren.

GE-24:28 And the damsel ran, and told [them of] her mother's
house

these things.

GE-24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban:
and

Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

GE-24:30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and
bracelets

upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah
his

sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto
the man;

and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

GE-24:31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD;
wherefore

standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room
for the

camels.

GE-24:32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his
camels,

and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash
his

feet, and the men's feet that [were] with him.

GE-24:33 And there was set [meat] before him to eat: but he
said, I

will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak
on.

GE-24:34 And he said, I [am] Abraham's servant.

GE-24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is

become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and
silver, and

gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

GE-24:36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master
when she

was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

GE-24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not
take a

wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land
I

dwell:

GE-24:38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my
kindred,

and take a wife unto my son.

GE-24:39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will
not

follow me.

GE-24:40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk,
will send

his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a
wife

for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:

GE-24:41 Then shalt thou be clear from [this] my oath, when thou

comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee [one], thou
shalt be

clear from my oath.

GE-24:42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD
God of

my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

GE-24:43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall
come to

pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw [water], and I
say to

her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to
drink;

GE-24:44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also
draw for

thy camels: [let] the same [be] the woman whom the LORD hath
appointed

out for my master's son.

GE-24:45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold,

Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she
went down

unto the well, and drew [water]: and I said unto her, Let me
drink, I

pray thee.

GE-24:46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her

[shoulder], and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink
also: so

I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

GE-24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [art] thou?
And

she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare
unto

him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon
her

hands.

GE-24:48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and

blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in
the

right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

GE-24:49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my
master,

tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand,
or to

the left.

GE-24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing

proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

GE-24:51 Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee, take [her], and go,
and

let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

GE-24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard

their words, he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the
earth.

GE-24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and
jewels

of gold, and raiment, and gave [them] to Rebekah: he gave also
to her

brother and to her mother precious things.

GE-24:54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that [were]
with

him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and
he

said, Send me away unto my master.

GE-24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel
abide

with us [a few] days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

GE-24:56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD
hath

prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

GE-24:57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at
her

mouth.

GE-24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou
go

with this man? And she said, I will go.

GE-24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse,
and

Abraham's servant, and his men.

GE-24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou
[art] our

sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of millions, and let
thy

seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

GE-24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon
the

camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and
went

his way.

GE-24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for
he

dwelt in the south country.

GE-24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the
eventide:

and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels
[were]

coming.

GE-24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac,
she

lighted off the camel.

GE-24:65 For she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is]
this that

walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It
[is]

my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.

GE-24:66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

GE-24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent,
and took

Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was

comforted after his mother's [death].
