Bereshis 24:17-31 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

17. And the eved hurried to meet her, and said, Let me, now, drink a little mayim of thy jug.

18. And she said,Drink, adoni: and she hasted, and let down her jug upon her yad, and gave him drink

19. And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy gemalim also, until they have done drinking.

20. And she hasted, and emptied her jug into the trough, and ran back unto the be'er to draw, and drew for all his gemalim.

21. And the ish gazed at her and held his peace, so as to have da'as whether Hashem had made his derech prosperous or not.

22. And it came to pass, just as the gemalim had done drinking, that the ish took a nezem zahav (gold ring) by weight a beka, and two tzemidim (bracelets) by weight ten [shekels of] gold for her wrists;

23. And said, Whose bat art thou? Tell me, now: is there makom in the bais of thy av for us to spend the night?

24. And she said unto him, I am Bat Beituel Ben Milcah, the ben which she bore unto Nachor.

25. She said moreover unto him, We have both teven (straw) and mispo (fodder) enough, and makom (room) to spend the night.

26. And the ish bowed his head, worshiped Hashem.

27. And he said, Baruch Hashem Elohei adoni Avraham, who hath not left destitute of His chesed and His emes; I being on the derech, Hashem led me to the bais achei adoni.

28. And the na'arah ran, and told them of her bais em these things.

29. And Rivkah had an ach, shmo Lavan; Lavan ran out unto the ish, unto the ayin.

30. And it came to pass, when he saw the nezem and tzemidim upon the wrists of his achot, and when he heard the words of Rivkah his achot, saying, Thus spoke the ish unto me; that he came unto the ish; and, hinei, he stood by the gemalim at the ayin.

31. And he said, Come in, Baruch Hashem; why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the bais, and makom for the gemalim.
