29. And Rebecca had a brother named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well.
30. And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister's hands, and had heard all that she related, saying: Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water,
31. And said to him: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord: why standest thou without? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.
32. And he brought him in into his lodging: and he unharnessed the camels and gave straw and hay, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were come with him.
33. And bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak.
34. And he said: I am the servant of Abraham:
35. And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, menservants and womenservants, camels and asses.
36. And Sara my master's wife hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had.
37. And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38. But thou shalt go to my father's house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son:
39. But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me?
40. The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father's house.
41. But thou shalt be clear from my curse, when thou shalt come to my kindred, if they will not give thee one.
42. And I came to day to the well of water, and said: O Lord God of my master Abraham, if thou hast prospered my way, wherein I now walk,
43. Behold I stand by the well of water, and the virgin, that shall come out to draw water, who shall hear me say: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher:
44. And shall say to me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman, whom the Lord hath prepared for my master's son.
