¹⁵ 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,

²⁹ And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife `is' Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife `is' Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.

⁴⁵ `Before I finish speaking unto my heart, then lo, Rebekah is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she goeth down to the fountain, and draweth; and I say unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee,

²⁴ And she saith unto him, `I `am' daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.'

²⁰ And it cometh to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, `Lo, Milcah hath borne, even she, sons to Nahor thy brother:

²¹ Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother; and Kemuel father of Aram,

²² and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel;

²³ and Bethuel hath begotten Rebekah;' these eight hath Milcah borne to Nahor, Abraham's brother;

²⁷ And these `are' births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot;

²⁰ And while I am speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and causing my supplication to fall before Jehovah my God, for the holy mount of my God,

²¹ yea, while I am speaking in prayer, then that one Gabriel, whom I had seen in vision at the commencement, being caused to fly swiftly, is coming unto me at the time of the evening present.

²² And he giveth understanding, and speaketh with me, and saith, `O Daniel, now I have come forth to cause thee to consider understanding wisely;

²³ at the commencement of thy supplications hath the word come forth, and I have come to declare `it', for thou `art' greatly desired, and understand thou concerning the matter, and consider concerning the appearance.

²⁴ And it hath come to pass, They do not yet call, and I answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear.

⁹ Then thou callest, and Jehovah answereth, Thou criest, and He saith, `Behold Me.' If thou turn aside from thy midst the yoke, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,

²⁷ She `is' watching the ways of her household, And bread of sloth she eateth not.

¹⁸ Near `is' Jehovah to all those calling Him, To all who call Him in truth.

¹⁹ The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He heareth, and saveth them.

² Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.

¹⁵ The eyes of Jehovah `are' unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.

¹⁷ And she gleaneth in the field till the evening, and beateth out that which she hath gleaned, and it is about an ephah of barley;

² And Ruth the Moabitess saith unto Naomi, `Let me go, I pray thee, into the field, and I gather among the ears of corn after him in whose eyes I find grace;' and she saith to her, `Go, my daughter.'

³⁶ And Gideon saith unto God, `If Thou art Saviour of Israel by my hand, as Thou hast spoken,

³⁷ lo, I am placing the fleece of wool in the threshing-floor: if dew is on the fleece alone, and on all the earth drought -- then I have known that Thou dost save Israel by my hand, as Thou hast spoken;'

³⁸ and it is so, and he riseth early on the morrow, and presseth the fleece, and wringeth dew out of the fleece -- the fulness of the bowl, of water.

³⁹ And Gideon saith unto God, `Let not Thine anger burn against me, and I speak only this time; let me try, I pray Thee, only this time with the fleece -- let there be, I pray Thee, drought on the fleece alone, and on all the earth let there be dew.'

⁴⁰ And God doth so on that night, and there is drought on the fleece alone, and on all the earth there hath been dew.

¹⁶ And to a priest of Midian `are' seven daughters, and they come and draw, and fill the troughs, to water the flock of their father,

⁹ He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel hath come with the flock which her father hath, for she `is' shepherdess;

¹⁴ And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing `it' on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
