Old Testament

New Testament

Genesis 24:14-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

14. Let the young woman to whom I shall say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who shall say, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels’—let her be the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I shall know that you have shown steadfast love to my master.”

15. Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her water jar on her shoulder.

16. The young woman was very attractive in appearance, a maiden whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.

17. Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar.”

18. She said, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly let down her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink.
