20. and she hasteth, and emptieth her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and runneth again unto the well to draw, and draweth for all his camels.

21. And the man, wondering at her, remaineth silent, to know whether Jehovah hath made his way prosperous or not.

22. And it cometh to pass when the camels have finished drinking, that the man taketh a golden ring (whose weight [is] a bekah), and two bracelets for her hands (whose weight [is] ten [bekahs] of gold),

23. and saith, `Whose daughter [art] thou? declare to me, I pray thee, is the house of thy father a place for us to lodge in?'

24. And she saith unto him, `I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.'

25. She saith also unto him, `Both straw and provender [are] abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.'

26. And the man boweth, and doth obeisance to Jehovah,

27. and saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath not left off His kindness and His truth with my lord; --I [being] in the way, Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord's brethren.'

28. And the young person runneth, and declareth to the house of her mother according to these words.

30. yea, it cometh to pass, when he seeth the ring, and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heareth the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, `Thus hath the man spoken unto me,' that he cometh in unto the man, and lo, he is standing by the camels by the fountain.

31. And he saith, `Come in, O blessed one of Jehovah, why standest thou without, and I--I have prepared the house and place for the camels!'

32. And he bringeth in the man into the house, and looseth the camels, and giveth straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who [are] with him:

33. and setteth before him to eat; but he saith, `I do not eat till I have spoken my word;' and he saith, `Speak.'

34. And he saith, `I [am] Abraham's servant;

35. and Jehovah hath blessed my lord exceedingly, and he is great; and He giveth to him flock, and herd, and silver, and gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses;
