Genesis 24:27-37 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

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.

29. And Rebekah hath a brother, and his name [is] Laban, and Laban runneth unto the man who [is] without, unto the fountain;

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;

36. and Sarah, my lord's wife, beareth a son to my lord, after she hath been aged, and he giveth to him all that he hath.

37. `And my lord causeth me to swear, saying, Thou dost not take a wife to my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling.
