11. He made the camels kneel down by the well outside the city. It was evening, the time when the women would go out to draw water.
12. He prayed, “O Lord, God of my master Abraham, guide me today. Be faithful to my master Abraham.
13. Here I am, standing by the spring, and the daughters of the people who live in the town are coming out to draw water.
14. I will say to a young woman, ‘Please lower your jar so I may drink.’ May the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac reply, ‘Drink, and I’ll give your camels water too.’ In this way I will know that you have been faithful to my master.”
15. Before he had finished praying, there came Rebekah with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah (Milcah was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor).
16. Now the young woman was very beautiful. She was a virgin; no man had ever had sexual relations with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came back up.
