11. In the evening, when the women come out to get water, he made the camels kneel down at the well outside the city.
12. The servant said, “Lord, God of my master Abraham, allow me to find a wife for his son today. Please show this kindness to my master Abraham.
13. Here I am, standing by the spring, and the girls from the city are coming out to get water.
14. I will say to one of them, ‘Please put your jar down so I can drink.’ Then let her say, ‘Drink, and I will also give water to your camels.’ If that happens, I will know she is the right one for your servant Isaac and that you have shown kindness to my master.”
15. Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, came out of the city. (Bethuel was the son of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham’s brother.) Rebekah was carrying her water jar on her shoulder.
16. She was very pretty, a virgin; she had never had sexual relations with a man. She went down to the spring and filled her jar, then came back up.
