01:024:006 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou
that thou bring not my
son
thither again.
01:024:007 The lord God of heaven, which took
me from my father’s house,
and
from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me,
and
that
sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this
land;
he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt
take
a
wife unto my son from thence.
01:024:008 And if the woman will not be willing to
follow thee, then thou
shalt
be clear from this my oath: only bring not my
son
thither
again.
01:024:009 And the servant put his hand under the
thigh of Abraham his
master,
and sware to him concerning that matter.
01:024:010 And the servant took ten camels of the
camels of his master,
and
departed; for all the goods of his master were in his
hand:
and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city
of
Nahor.
01:024:011 And he made his camels to kneel down without
the city by a
well
of water at the time of the evening, even the time
that
women
go out to draw water.
01:024:012 And he said O lord God of my master
Abraham, I pray thee, send
me
good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master
Abraham.
01:024:013 Behold, I stand here by the well of water;
and the daughters
of
the men of the city come out to draw water:
01:024:014 And let it come to pass, that the damsel
to whom I shall say,
Let
down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and
she
shall
say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also:
let
the
same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant
Isaac;
and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness
unto
my master.
01:024:015 And it came to pass, before he had done
speaking, that,
behold,
Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of
Milcah,
the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her
pitcher
upon
her shoulder.
01:024:016 And the damsel was very fair to look upon,
a virgin, neither
had
any man known her: and she went down to the well,
and
filled
her pitcher, and came up.
01:024:017 And the servant ran to meet her, and said,
Let me, I pray
thee,
drink a little water of thy pitcher.
01:024:018 And she said, Drink, my lord: and
she hasted, and let down her
pitcher
upon her hand, and gave him drink.
01:024:019 And when she had done giving him drink,
she said, I will draw
water
for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
01:024:020 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher
into the trough, and
ran
again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all
his
camels.
