45. I had not yet finished speaking to my heart, and behold there was Rebekah going out—her jug was on her shoulder and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
46. And she quickly lowered her jug off of her and said, ‘Drink, and I’ll also water your camels.’ So I drank, and she also watered the camels.
47. Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ Then I placed the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her hands.
48. I bowed down and worshipped Adonai and blessed Adonai, the God of my master Abraham, who guided me on the true way to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.
49. So now, if you’re really going to show loyalty and truth to my master, tell me. But if not, tell me and I’ll turn to the right or to the left.”
50. Then Laban and Bethuel answered, and they said, “The matter proceeds from Adonai. We cannot speak to you bad or good.
51. Rebekah is before you. Take her and go, and let her become a wife for our master’s son, just as Adonai has spoken.”
52. Now when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground to Adonai.
53. Then the servant brought out articles of silver and gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brothers and to her mother.
54. Then they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and spent the night. When they arose in the morning, he said, “Send me off to my master.”
55. But her brother with her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us a few days—or ten. Afterwards she may go.”
56. But he said to them, “Don’t delay me, since Adonai has made my way successful. Send me off so that I can go to my master.”
57. So they said, “We’ll call the young woman and let’s ask her opinion.”
58. Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
59. So they sent Rebekah their sister off with her nanny, and Abraham’s servant and his men,
60. and they blessed Rebekah and said to her: “Our sister, may you become thousands of ten thousands, and may your seed possess the gate of those who hate him.”
61. Then Rebekah got up, with her maids, and they mounted the camels and followed after the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.
