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.
