7. The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke unto me, and that swore unto me, saying, Unto your descendants will I give this land; he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife unto my son from there.
8. And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son there again.
9. And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
10. And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
11. And he made his camels to kneel down outside the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
12. And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray you, send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.
13. Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
14. And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let the same be she that you have appointed for your servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that you have showed kindness unto my master.
15. And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16. And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17. And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray you, drink a little water of your pitcher.
18. And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hastened, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19. And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.
20. And she hastened, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21. And the man wondering at her held his peace, to learn whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
22. And it came to pass, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
23. And said, Whose daughter are you? tell me, I pray you: is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?
24. And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore unto Nahor.
25. She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and fodder enough, and room to lodge in.
26. And the man bowed down his head, and worshiped the LORD.
