16 The maiden was beautiful in appearance, a virgin whom her husband did not know. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and went up.

17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, 'Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher.'

18 And she said, 'Drink, my lord.' And straightway she let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him to drink.

19 And when she had given him to drink, she said, 'I will draw also for your camels, until they are all drunk.'

20 And straightway she poured water out of her pitcher into the water, and ran again to the well to draw [water], and drew for all his camels.

21 And the man looked at her with amazement in silence, desiring to know whether the Lord had blessed his way or not.

22 And when the camels had ceased to drink, the man took an earring of gold, weighing half a shekel, and two wrists in her hands, weighing ten shekels of gold;

23 and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' Tell me, is there a place for us to spend the night in your father's house?

24 And she said to him, 'I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.'

25 And she said to him, 'We have plenty of straw and fodder, and there is a place to stay for the night.'

26 And the man bowed down, and worshipped the Lord,

27 And he said, 'Blessed be the Lord God of my lord Abraham, who hath not forsaken my lord in his mercy and in his truth.' The Lord led me by a straight path to the house of my master's brother.

28 And the damsel ran and told about it in her mother's house.

29 Rebekah had a brother named Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
