45. Before I had finished my silent prayer, Rebecca came with a water jar on her shoulder and went down to the well to get water. I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
46. She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will also water your camels.’ So I drank, and she watered the camels.
47. I asked her, ‘Who is your father?’ And she answered, ‘My father is Bethuel son of Nahor and Milcah.’ Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms.
48. I knelt down and worshipped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me straight to my master's relative, where I found his daughter for my master's son.
49. Now, if you intend to fulfil your responsibility towards my master and treat him fairly, please tell me; if not, say so, and I will decide what to do.”
50. Laban and Bethuel answered, “Since this matter comes from the Lord, it is not for us to make a decision.
51. Here is Rebecca; take her and go. Let her become the wife of your master's son, as the Lord himself has said.”
52. When the servant of Abraham heard this, he bowed down and worshipped the Lord.
53. Then he brought out clothing and silver and gold jewellery, and gave them to Rebecca. He also gave expensive gifts to her brother and to her mother.
54. Then Abraham's servant and the men with him ate and drank, and spent the night there. When they got up in the morning, he said, “Let me go back to my master.”
55. But Rebecca's brother and her mother said, “Let her stay with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.”
56. But he said, “Don't make us stay. The Lord has made my journey a success; let me go back to my master.”
57. They answered, “Let's call her and find out what she has to say.”
58. So they called Rebecca and asked, “Do you want to go with this man?”“Yes,” she answered.
