^{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."
