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.

30 And when he saw the earring and the wrists in his sister's hands, and heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, 'This is what this man has spoken to me,' he came to the man, and behold, he was standing by the camels by the spring.

31 And he said to him, Come in, blessed of the Lord; Why do you stand outside? I have prepared a house and a place for camels.

32 And the man came in. And Laban unsaddled the camels, and gave straw and fodder to the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men who were with him;

33 And food was set before him; but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my deed." And they said, "Speak."

34 He said, 'I am Abraham's servant;

35 Господь весьма благословил господина моего, и он сделался великим: Он дал ему овец и волов, серебро и золото, рабов и рабынь, верблюдов и ослов;

36 Сарра, жена господина моего, уже состарившись, родила господину моему [одного] сына, которому он отдал все, что у него;

37 и взял с меня клятву господин мой, сказав: не бери жены сыну моему из дочерей Хананеев, в земле которых я живу,

38 а пойди в дом отца моего и к родственникам моим, и возьмешь [оттуда] жену сыну моему.

39 Я сказал господину моему: может быть, не пойдет женщина со мною.
