New Testament

Genesis 24:17-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

17. Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.”

18. So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let down her pitcher to her hand and gave him a drink.

19. When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”

20. Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough and ran to the well to draw water and drew for all his camels.

21. The man, gazing at her, remained silent, trying to discern whether the Lord had made his journey a success or not.

22. When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold nose ring of half a shekel weight and two bracelets for her wrists of ten shekels weight in gold,

23. and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge?”

24. She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milkah, whom she bore to Nahor.”

25. Again she said to him, “We have both straw and provision enough, and room in which to lodge.”

26. Then the man bowed down his head and worshipped the Lord.

27. And he said, “Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s relatives.”
