^{1 Ref} Now Abraham was old and far on in years: and the Lord had given him everything in full measure.

^{2 Ref} And Abraham said to his chief servant, the manager of all his property, Come now, put your hand under my leg:

^{3 Ref} And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

^{4 Ref} But that you will go into my country and to my relations and get a wife there for my son Isaac.

^{5 Ref} And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?

^{6 Ref} And Abraham said, Take care that you do not let my son go back to that land.

^{7 Ref} The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and made an oath to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: he will send his angel before you and give you a wife for my son in that land.

^{8 Ref} And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.

^{9 Ref} And the servant put his hand under Abraham's leg, and gave him his oath about this thing.

^{10 Ref} And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.

^{11 Ref} And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.

^{12 Ref} And he said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, let me do well in what I have undertaken this day, and give your mercy to my master Abraham.

^{13 Ref} See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water:

^{14 Ref} Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.

^{15 Ref} And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.

^{16 Ref} She was a very beautiful girl, a virgin, who had never been touched by a man: and she went down to the spring to get water in her vessel.

^{17 Ref} And the servant came running to her and said, Give me a little water from your vessel.

^{18 Ref} And she said, Take a drink, my lord: and quickly letting down her vessel onto her hand, she gave him a drink.

^{19 Ref} And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.

²⁰ And after putting the water from her vessel into the animals' drinking-place, she went quickly back to the spring and got water for all the camels.

^{21 Ref} And the man, looking at her, said nothing, waiting to see if the Lord had given his journey a good outcome.

^{22 Ref} And when the camels had had enough, the man took a gold nose-ring, half a shekel in weight, and two ornaments for her arms of ten shekels weight of gold;

²³ And said to her, Whose daughter are you? is there room in your father's house for us?

^{24 Ref} And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, Nahor's wife.

^{25 Ref} And she said, We have a great store of dry grass and cattle-food, and there is room for you.

^{26 Ref} And with bent head the man gave worship to the Lord;

^{27 Ref} And said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has given a sign that he is good and true to my master, by guiding me straight to the house of my master's family.

^{28 Ref} So the girl went running and took the news of these things to her mother's house

^{29 Ref} Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring.

³⁰ And when he saw the nose-ring and the ornaments on his sister's hands, and when she gave him word of what the man had said to her, then he went out to the man who was waiting with the camels by the water-spring.

^{31 Ref} And he said to him, Come in, you on whom is the blessing of the Lord; why are you waiting outside? for I have made the house ready for you, and a place for the camels.

^{32 Ref} Then the man came into the house, and Laban took their cords off the camels and gave them dry grass and food, and he gave to him and the men who were with him water for washing their feet.

^{33 Ref} And meat was put before him, but he said, I will not take food till I have made my business clear to you. And they said, Do so.

³⁴ And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

^{35 Ref} The Lord has given my master every blessing, and he has become great: he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and women-servants and camels and asses.

^{36 Ref} And when Sarah, my master's wife, was old, she gave birth to a son, to whom he has given all he has.

^{37 Ref} And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

^{38 Ref} But go to my father's house and to my relations for a wife for my son.

^{39 Ref} And I said to my master, What if the woman will not come with me?

^{40 Ref} And he said, The Lord, whom I have ever kept before me, will send his angel with you, who will make it possible for you to get a wife for my son from my relations and my father's house;

^{41 Ref} And you will be free from your oath to me when you come to my people; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from your oath.

^{42 Ref} And I came today to the water-spring, and I said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if it is your purpose to give a good outcome to my journey,

^{43 Ref} Let it come about that, while I am waiting here by the water-spring, if a girl comes to get water and I say to her, Give me a little water from your vessel, and she says,

^{44 Ref} Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.

^{45 Ref} And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink.

^{46 Ref} And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.

^{47 Ref} And questioning her, I said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, and Milcah his wife. Then I put the ring on her nose and the ornaments on her hands.

^{48 Ref} And with bent head I gave worship and praise to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, by whom I had been guided in the right way, to get the daughter of my master's brother for his son.

^{49 Ref} And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do.

^{50 Ref} Then Laban and Bethuel said in answer, This is the Lord's doing: it is not for us to say Yes or No to you.

^{51 Ref} See, here is Rebekah: take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has said.

^{52 Ref} And at these words, Abraham's servant went down on his face and gave praise to the Lord.

^{53 Ref} Then he took jewels of silver and jewels of gold and fair robes and gave them to Rebekah: and he gave things of value to her mother and her brother.

^{54 Ref} Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.

^{55 Ref} But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.

^{56 Ref} And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master.

⁵⁷ And they said, We will send for the girl, and let her make the decision.

^{58 Ref} And they sent for Rebekah and said to her, Are you ready to go with this man? And she said, I am ready.

^{59 Ref} So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men.

^{60 Ref} And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them.

^{61 Ref} So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.

^{62 Ref} Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South.

^{63 Ref} And when the evening was near, he went wandering out into the fields, and lifting up his eyes he saw camels coming.

^{64 Ref} And when Rebekah, looking up, saw Isaac, she got down from her camel,

^{65 Ref} And said to the servant, Who is that man coming to us through the field? And the servant said, It is my master: then she took her veil, covering her face with it.

^{66 Ref} Then the servant gave Isaac the story of all he had done.

^{67 Ref} And Isaac took Rebekah into his tent and she became his wife; and in his love for her, Isaac was comforted after his father's death.

^{1 Ref} And Abraham `is' old, he hath entered into days, and Jehovah hath blessed Abraham in all `things';

^{2 Ref} and Abraham saith unto his servant, the eldest of his house, who is ruling over all that he hath, `Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh,

^{3 Ref} and I cause thee to swear by Jehovah, God of the heavens, and God of the earth, that thou dost not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I am dwelling;

^{4 Ref} but unto my land and unto my kindred dost thou go, and hast taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.'

^{5 Ref} And the servant saith unto him, `It may be the woman is not willing to come after me unto this land; do I at all cause thy son to turn back unto the land from whence thou camest out?'

^{6 Ref} And Abraham saith unto him, `Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause my son to turn back thither;

^{7 Ref} Jehovah, God of the heavens, who hath taken me from the house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who hath spoken to me, and who hath sworn to me, saying, To thy seed I give this land, He doth send His messenger before thee, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from thence;

^{8 Ref} and if the woman be not willing to come after thee, then thou hast been acquitted from this mine oath: only my son thou dost not cause to turn back thither.'

^{9 Ref} And the servant putteth his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and sweareth to him concerning this matter.

^{10 Ref} And the servant taketh ten camels of the camels of his lord and goeth, also of all the goods of his lord in his hand, and he riseth, and goeth unto Aram-Naharaim, unto the city of Nahor;

^{11 Ref} and he causeth the camels to kneel at the outside of the city, at the well of water, at even-time, at the time of the coming out of the women who draw water.

^{12 Ref} And he saith, `Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, cause to meet, I pray Thee, before me this day -- (and do kindness with my lord Abraham;

^{13 Ref} lo, I am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;

^{14 Ref} and it hath been, the young person unto whom I say, Incline, I pray thee, thy pitcher, and I drink, and she hath said, Drink, and I water also thy camels) -- her Thou hast decided for Thy servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that Thou hast done kindness with my lord.'

^{15 Ref} And it cometh to pass, before he hath finished speaking, that lo, Rebekah (who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, wife of Nahor, brother of Abraham) is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder,

^{18 Ref} and she saith, `Drink, my lord;' and she hasteth, and letteth down her pitcher upon her hand, and giveth him drink.

^{19 Ref} And she finisheth giving him drink, and saith, `Also for thy camels I draw till they have finished drinking;'

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

^{22 Ref} 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 Ref} And she saith unto him, `I `am' daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.'

^{25 Ref} She saith also unto him, `Both straw and provender `are' abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.'

^{26 Ref} And the man boweth, and doth obeisance to Jehovah,

^{27 Ref} 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 Ref} And the young person runneth, and declareth to the house of her mother according to these words.

^{29 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} 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;

^{37 Ref} `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.

^{38 Ref} If not -- unto the house of my father thou dost go, and unto my family, and thou hast taken a wife for my son.

^{39 Ref} `And I say unto my lord, It may be the woman doth not come after me;

^{40 Ref} and he saith unto me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked habitually, doth send His messenger with thee, and hath prospered thy way, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father;

^{41 Ref} then art thou acquitted from my oath, when thou comest unto my family, and if they give not `one' to thee; then thou hast been acquitted from my oath.

^{42 Ref} `And I come to-day unto the fountain, and I say, Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, if Thou art, I pray Thee, making prosperous my way in which I am going --

^{43 Ref} (lo, I am standing by the fountain of water), then the virgin who is coming out to draw, and I have said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher,

^{1 Ref} Abraham was old, and well stricken in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.

^{2 Ref} Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please put your hand under my thigh.

^{3 Ref} I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.

^{4 Ref} But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac."

^{5 Ref} The servant said to him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?"

^{6 Ref} Abraham said to him, "Beware that you don't bring my son there again.

^{7 Ref} Yahweh, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, 'I will give this land to your seed{or, offspring}.' He will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

^{12 Ref} He said, "Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

^{13 Ref} Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

^{14 Ref} Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, 'Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink.' She will say, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.' Let the same be she who you have appointed for your servant Isaac. Thereby will I know that you have shown kindness to my master."

²³ and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?"

^{24 Ref} She said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."

^{25 Ref} She said moreover to him, "We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in."

^{26 Ref} The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.

^{27 Ref} He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me in the way to the house of my master's relatives."

^{29 Ref} Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

³⁰ It happened, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," that he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

^{31 Ref} He said, "Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels."

^{32 Ref} The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

^{35 Ref} Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, men-servants and maid-servants, and camels and donkeys.

^{36 Ref} Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.

^{37 Ref} My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,

^{38 Ref} but you shall go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.'

^{39 Ref} I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'

^{40 Ref} He said to me, 'Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son of my relatives, and of my father's house.

^{41 Ref} Then will you be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don't give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.'

^{42 Ref} I came this day to the spring, and said, 'Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go.

^{43 Ref} Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes forth to draw, to whom I will say, Give me, I pray you, a little water from your pitcher to drink.

^{44 Ref} She will tell me, "Drink, and I will also draw for your camels." Let the same be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master's son.'

^{45 Ref} Before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, 'Please let me drink.'

^{46 Ref} She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.' So I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

^{47 Ref} I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare to him.' I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

^{48 Ref} I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.

^{49 Ref} Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me. That I may turn to the right hand, or to the left."

^{50 Ref} Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can't speak to you bad or good.

^{51 Ref} Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her, and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as Yahweh has spoken."

^{52 Ref} It happened that when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.

^{53 Ref} The servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

^{54 Ref} They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master."

^{55 Ref} Her brother and her mother said, "Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go."

^{56 Ref} He said to them, "Don't hinder me, seeing Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master."

⁵⁷ They said, "We will call the young lady, and ask her."

^{58 Ref} They called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."

^{59 Ref} They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham's servant, and his men.

^{60 Ref} They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them."

^{61 Ref} Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

^{62 Ref} Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi. For he lived in the land of the South.

^{63 Ref} Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.

^{64 Ref} Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.

^{65 Ref} She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." She took her veil, and covered herself.

^{66 Ref} The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.

^{67 Ref} Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
