10. Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and left, taking with him all of his master’s best things. He traveled to Aram Naharaim, Nahor’s city.
11. The servant had the camels kneel down outside the city by the well. It was evening, when the women would go out to draw water.
12. Then he prayed, “Lord, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today. Show your kindness to Abraham.
13. Here I am standing by the spring, and the girls of the city are coming out to draw water.
14. I will ask a girl, ‘May I please have a drink from your jar?’ If she answers, ‘Have a drink, and I’ll also water your camels,’ let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. This way I’ll know that you’ve shown your kindness to my master.”
15. Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, who was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.
16. The girl was a very attractive virgin. No man had ever had sexual intercourse with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came back.
17. The servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a drink of water.”
18. “Drink, sir,” she said. She quickly lowered her jar to her hand and gave him a drink.
19. When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I’ll also keep drawing water for your camels until they’ve had enough to drink.”
20. So she quickly emptied her jar into the water trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels.
21. The man was silently watching her to see whether or not the Lord had made his trip successful.
22. When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a fifth of an ounce and two gold bracelets weighing four ounces.
23. He asked, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me whether there is room in your father’s house for us to spend the night.”
24. She answered him, “I’m the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah and Nahor.
25. We have plenty of straw and feed ⌊for your camels⌋ and room for you to spend the night.”
26. The man knelt, bowing to the Lord with his face touching the ground.
27. He said, “Praise the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord hasn’t failed to be kind and faithful to my master. The Lord has led me on this trip to the home of my master’s relatives.”
28. The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
