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.”
28. Then the young woman ran and informed those of her mother’s house these matters.
29. And Riḇqah had a brother whose name was Laḇan, and Laḇan ran out to the man, to the fountain.
30. And it came to be, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Riḇqah, saying, “Thus the man spoke to me,” that he went to the man and saw him standing by the camels at the fountain.
