Genesis 24:19-27 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

19. And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “Let me draw water for your camels too, until they have finished drinking.”

20. And she hurried and emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the fountain to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

21. And watching her, the man remained silent in order to know whether יהוה had prospered his way or not.

22. And it came to be, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden nose ring weighing half a sheqel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten sheqels of gold,

23. and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please inform me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”

24. And she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethu’ĕl, Milkah’s son, whom she bore to Naḥor.”

25. And she said to him, “We have both straw and fodder enough, and room to spend the night.”

26. And the man bowed down his head and worshipped יהוה.

27. And he said, “Blessed be יהוה Elohim of my master Aḇraham, who has not forsaken His kindness and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, יהוה led me to the house of my master’s brothers.”
