20. She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.

21. The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.

22. As the camels had done drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,

23. and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge in?”

24. She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”

25. She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”

26. The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.

27. He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”

28. The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.

29. Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

30. When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
