Genesis 24:47-53 Good News Bible (GNB)

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.
