01:024:038 But thou shalt go unto my father’s
house, and to my kindred,
and
take a wife unto my son.
01:024:039 And I said unto my master, Peradventure
the woman will not
follow
me.
01:024:040 And he said unto me, The lord, before
whom I walk, will send
his
angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt
take
a
wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s
house:
01:024:041 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath,
when thou comest
to
my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt
be
clear
from my oath.
01:024:042 And I came this day unto the well, and
said, O lord God of my
master
Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
01:024:043 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and
it shall come to
pass,
that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and
I
say
to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy
pitcher
to drink;
01:024:044 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and
I will also draw for
thy
camels: let the same be the woman whom the lord
hath
appointed
out for my master’s son.
01:024:045 And before I had done speaking in mine
heart, behold, Rebekah
came
forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went
down
unto
the well, and drew water: and I said unto her,
Let me
drink,
I pray thee.
01:024:046 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher
from her
shoulder,
and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink
also:
so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
01:024:047 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter
art thou? And she
said,
the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah
bare
unto
him: and I put the earring upon her face, and
the
bracelets
upon her hands.
01:024:048 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped
the lord, and blessed
the
lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me
in the
right
way to take my master’s brother’s daughter
unto his son.
01:024:049 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly
with my master, tell
me:
and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand,
or
to
the left.
01:024:050 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said,
The thing proceedeth
from
the lord: we cannot speak unto thee bad or
good.
01:024:051 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her,
and go, and let her
be
thy master’s son’s wife, as the lord
hath spoken.
01:024:052 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s
servant heard their
words,
he worshipped the lord, bowing himself to the
earth.
