Genesis 24:22-31 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

22. After the camels finished drinking, he gave Rebekah a gold ring that weighed 1/4 ounce. He also gave her two gold arm bracelets that weighed 2 ounces each.

23. The servant asked, “Who is your father? And is there a place in your father’s house for me and my men to sleep?”

24. Rebekah answered, “My father is Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.”

25. Then she said, “Yes, we have straw and other food for your camels and a place for you to sleep.”

26. The servant bowed and worshiped the Lord.

27. He said, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord has been kind and loyal to him by leading me to his own people.”

28. Then Rebekah ran and told her family about all these things.

29-30. She had a brother named Laban. She told him what the man had said to her. Laban was listening to her. And when he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister’s arms, he ran out to the well. There the man was, standing by the camels at the well.

31. Laban said, “Sir, you are welcome to come in! You don’t have to stand outside here. I have prepared a room for you to sleep in and a place for your camels.”
