Genesis 24:20-30 New Century Version (NCV)

20. So she quickly poured all the water from her jar into the drinking trough for the camels. Then she kept running to the well until she had given all the camels enough to drink.

21. The servant quietly watched her. He wanted to be sure the Lord had made his trip successful.

22. After the camels had finished drinking, he gave Rebekah a gold ring weighing one-fifth of an ounce and two gold arm bracelets weighing about four ounces each.

23. He asked, “Who is your father? Is there a place in his house for me and my men to spend the night?”

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

25. Then she said, “And, yes, we have straw for your camels and a place for you to spend the night.”

26. The servant bowed and worshiped the Lord

27. and said, “Blessed is the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord has been kind and truthful to him and has led me to my master’s relatives.”

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

29. She had a brother named Laban, who ran out to Abraham’s servant, who was still at the spring.

30. Laban had heard what she had said and had seen the ring and the bracelets on his sister’s arms. So he ran out to the well, and there was the man standing by the camels at the spring.
