42. “So today I came to the well and said, ‘O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if You will now give me success in my task;
43. I am standing by the well of water, and let it be that when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
44. and she says to me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,” let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.’
45. “Before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. Then I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
46. “She then quickly let down her pitcher from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also.’ So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink also.
47. “Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’“And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milkah bore for him.’“So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
48. And I bowed down my head and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.
49. And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, so that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.”
50. Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “This thing comes from the Lord; we cannot speak to you bad or good.
