Now
Abraham
was old,
advanced
in age;
and the LORD
had blessed
Abraham
in every way.
2
Abraham
said
to his servant,
the oldest
of his household,
who had charge
of all
that he owned, "Please
place
your hand
under
my thigh,
3
and I will make you swear
by the LORD,
the God
of heaven
and
the God
of earth,
that you shall not take
a wife
for my son
from the daughters
of the Canaanites,
among
whom
I live,
4
but you will go
to my country
and to my relatives,
and take
a wife
for my son
Isaac."
5
The servant
said
to him, "Suppose
the woman
is not willing
to follow
me to this
land;
should I take
your son
back
to the land
from where
you came?"
6
Then Abraham
said
to him, "Beware
that you do not take
my son
back
there!
7
"The LORD,
the God
of heaven,
who
took
me from my father's
house
and from the land
of my birth,
and
who
spoke
to me
and
who
swore
to me, saying,
'
To your descendants
I will give
this
land,'
He will send
His angel
before
you, and you will take
a wife
for my son
from there.
8
"But if
the woman
is not willing
to follow
you, then you will be free
from this
my oath;
only
do not take
my son
back
there."
9
So the servant
placed
his hand
under
the thigh
of Abraham
his master,
and swore
to him concerning
this
matter.
10
Then the servant
took
ten
camels
from the
camels
of his master,
and set
out with a variety
of good things
of his master's
in his hand;
and he arose
and went
to Mesopotamia,
to the city
of Nahor.
11
He made the camels
kneel down
outside
the city
by the well
of water
at evening
time,
the time
when women go
out to draw water.
12
He said,
"O LORD,
the God
of my master
Abraham,
please
grant me success
today,
and show
lovingkindness
to my master
Abraham.
13
"Behold,
I am standing
by the spring,
and the daughters
of the men
of the city
are coming
out to draw
water;
14
now may it be that the girl
to whom
I say,
'Please
let down
your jar
so that I may drink,'
and who answers,
'Drink,
and I will water
your camels
also '--
may she be the one whom You have appointed
for Your servant
Isaac;
and by this I will know
that You have shown
lovingkindness
to my master."
15
Before
he had finished
speaking,
behold,
Rebekah
who
was born
to Bethuel
the son
of Milcah,
the wife
of Abraham's
brother
Nahor,
came
out with her jar
on her shoulder.
16
The girl
was very
beautiful,
a virgin,
and no
man
had had relations
with her; and she went down
to the spring
and filled
her jar
and came
up.
17
Then the servant
ran
to meet
her, and said,
"Please
let me drink
a little
water
from your jar."
18
She said,
"Drink,
my lord";
and 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 draw
also
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 gazing
at her in silence,
to know
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 said,
"Whose
daughter
are you? Please
tell
me, is there
room
for us to lodge
in your father's
house?"
24
She said
to him, "I am the daughter
of Bethuel,
the son
of Milcah,
whom
she bore
to Nahor."
25
Again she said
to him, "We have plenty
of both
straw
and feed,
and room
to lodge
in."
26
Then the man
bowed low
and worshiped
the LORD.
27
He said,
"Blessed
be the LORD,
the God
of my master
Abraham,
who
has not forsaken
His lovingkindness
and His truth
toward
my master;
as for me, the LORD
has guided
me in the way
to the house
of my master
's
brothers."
28
Then the girl
ran
and told
her mother's
household
about these
things.
29
Now Rebekah
had a brother
whose name
was Laban;
and Laban
ran
outside
to the man
at the spring.
30
When he saw
the ring
and the bracelets
on his sister's
wrists,
and when he heard
the words
of Rebekah
his sister,
saying,
"This is what
the man
said
to me," he went
to
the man
;
and behold,
he was standing
by the camels
at the spring.
31
And he said,
"Come
in, blessed
of the LORD!
Why
do you stand
outside
since I have prepared
the house,
and a place
for the camels?"
32
So the man
entered
the house.
Then Laban unloaded
the camels,
and he gave
straw
and feed
to
the camels,
and water
to wash
his feet
and the feet
of the men
who
were with him.
33
But when food was set
before
him to eat,
he said,
"I will not eat
until
I have told
my business."
And
he said,
"Speak
on."
34
So he said,
"I am Abraham's
servant.
35
"The LORD
has greatly
blessed
my master,
so that he has become rich;
and He has given
him flocks
and herds,
and silver
and gold,
and servants
and maids,
and camels
and donkeys.
36
"Now Sarah
my master's
wife
bore
a son
to my master
in her old age,
and he has given
him all
that he has.
37
"My master
made me swear,
saying,
'You shall not take
a wife
for my son
from the daughters
of the Canaanites,
in whose
land
I live;
38
but you shall go
to my father's
house
and to my relatives,
and take
a wife
for my son.'
39
"I said
to my master,
'Suppose
the woman
does not follow
me.'
40
"He said
to me, 'The LORD,
before
whom
I have walked,
will send
His angel
with you to make your journey
successful,
and you will take
a wife
for my son
from my relatives
and from my father's
house;
41
then
you will be free
from my oath,
when
you come
to my relatives;
and if
they do not give
her to you,
you will be free
from my oath.'
42
"So I came
today
to the spring,
and said,
'O LORD,
the God
of my master
Abraham,
if
now
You will make my journey
on which
I go
successful;
43
behold,
I am standing
by the spring,
and may it be that the maiden
who comes
out to draw,
and to whom I say,
"Please
let me drink
a little
water
from your jar";
44
and she will say
to me, "You drink,
and I will draw
for your camels
also";
let her be the woman
whom
the LORD
has appointed
for my master's
son.'
45
"Before
I had finished
speaking
in my heart,
behold,
Rebekah
came
out with her jar
on her shoulder,
and went down
to the spring
and drew,
and I said
to her, 'Please
let me drink.'
46
"She quickly
lowered
her jar
from her shoulder, and said,
'
Drink,
and I will water
your camels
also';
so I drank,
and she watered
the camels
also.
47
"Then I asked
her, and said,
'Whose
daughter
are you?' And she said,
'The
daughter
of Bethuel,
Nahor's
son,
whom
Milcah
bore
to him'; and I put
the ring
on her nose,
and the bracelets
on her wrists.
48
"And I bowed low
and worshiped
the LORD,
and blessed
the LORD,
the God
of my master
Abraham,
who
had guided
me in the right
way
to take
the daughter
of my master
's
kinsman
for his son.
49
"So now
if
you are going
to deal
kindly
and truly
with my master,
tell
me; and
if
not, let me know,
that I may turn
to the right hand
or
the left."
50
Then Laban
and Bethuel
replied,
"The matter
comes
from the LORD;
so we cannot
speak
to you bad
or
good.
51
"Here
is Rebekah
before
you, take
her and go,
and let her be the wife
of your master's
son,
as the LORD
has spoken."
52
When
Abraham's
servant
heard
their words,
he bowed
himself to the ground
before the LORD.
53
The servant
brought
out articles
of silver
and articles
of gold,
and garments,
and gave
them to Rebekah;
he also gave
precious things
to her brother
and to her mother.
54
Then he and the men
who
were with him ate
and drank
and spent the night.
When they arose
in the morning,
he said,
"Send me away
to my master."
55
But her brother
and her mother
said,
"Let the girl
stay
with us a few days,
say
ten;
afterward
she may go."
56
He said
to them, "Do not delay
me, since the LORD
has prospered
my way.
Send me away
that I may go
to my master."
57
And they said,
"We will call
the girl
and consult
her wishes."
58
Then they called
Rebekah
and said
to her, "Will you go
with this
man?"
And she said,
"I will go."
59
Thus they sent away
their sister
Rebekah
and her nurse
with Abraham's
servant
and his men.
60
They blessed
Rebekah
and said
to her, "May you, our sister,
Become
thousands
of ten
thousands
,
And may your descendants
possess
The gate
of those who hate
them."
61
Then
Rebekah
arose
with her maids,
and they mounted
the camels
and followed
the man.
So the servant
took
Rebekah
and departed.
62
Now Isaac
had come
from going
to Beer-lahai-roi;
for he was living
in the Negev.
63
Isaac
went
out to meditate
in the field
toward
evening;
and he lifted
up his eyes
and looked,
and behold,
camels
were coming.
64
Rebekah
lifted
up her eyes,
and when she saw
Isaac
she dismounted
from the camel.
65
She said
to the servant,
"Who
is that man
walking
in the field
to meet
us?" And the servant
said,
"He is my master."
Then she took
her veil
and covered
herself.
66
The servant
told
Isaac
all
the things
that he had done.
67
Then Isaac
brought
her into his mother
Sarah's
tent,
and he took
Rebekah,
and she became
his wife,
and he loved
her; thus Isaac
was comforted
after
his mother's
death.
