GE-24:1 And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and


  • the LORD

  • had blessed Abraham in all things.



  • GE-24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house,
  • that

  • ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my
  • thigh:



  • GE-24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of
  • heaven,

  • and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto
  • my son

  • of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:



  • GE-24:4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred,
  • and

  • take a wife unto my son Isaac.



  • GE-24:5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman
  • will

  • not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring
  • thy son

  • again unto the land from whence thou camest?



  • GE-24:6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring
  • not my

  • son thither again.



  • GE-24:7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's
  • house,

  • and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and
  • that

  • sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he
  • shall

  • send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my
  • son

  • from thence.



  • GE-24:8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee,
  • then

  • thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son
  • thither

  • again.



  • GE-24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham
  • his

  • master, and sware to him concerning that matter.



  • GE-24:10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his
  • master,

  • and departed; for all the goods of his master [were] in his hand:
  • and

  • he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.



  • GE-24:11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city
  • by a

  • well of water at the time of the evening, [even] the time that
  • women

  • go out to draw [water].



  • GE-24:12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray
  • thee,

  • send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master
  • Abraham.



  • GE-24:13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the

  • daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:



  • GE-24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I
  • shall

  • say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she

  • shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: [let
  • the same

  • be] she [that] thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and
  • thereby

  • shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master.



  • GE-24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,

  • behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah,
  • the

  • wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her
  • shoulder.



  • GE-24:16 And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin,

  • neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and

  • filled her pitcher, and came up.



  • GE-24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I
  • pray

  • thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.



  • GE-24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let
  • down

  • her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.



  • GE-24:19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I
  • will

  • draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.



  • GE-24:20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the
  • trough, and

  • ran again unto the well to draw [water], and drew for all his
  • camels.



  • GE-24:21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit
  • whether

  • the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.



  • GE-24:22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking,
  • that

  • the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two

  • bracelets for her hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold;



  • GE-24:23 And said, Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray
  • thee:

  • is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge in?



  • GE-24:24 And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel
  • the

  • son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.



  • GE-24:25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and
  • provender

  • enough, and room to lodge in.



  • GE-24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the
  • LORD.



  • GE-24:27 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master
  • Abraham,

  • who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth:
  • I

  • [being] in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's

  • brethren.



  • GE-24:28 And the damsel ran, and told [them of] her mother's
  • house

  • these things.



  • GE-24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban:
  • and

  • Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.



  • GE-24:30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and
  • bracelets

  • upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah
  • his

  • sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto
  • the man;

  • and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.



  • GE-24:31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD;
  • wherefore

  • standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room
  • for the

  • camels.



  • GE-24:32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his
  • camels,

  • and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash
  • his

  • feet, and the men's feet that [were] with him.



  • GE-24:33 And there was set [meat] before him to eat: but he
  • said, I

  • will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak
  • on.



  • GE-24:34 And he said, I [am] Abraham's servant.



  • GE-24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is

  • become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and
  • silver, and

  • gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.



  • GE-24:36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master
  • when she

  • was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.



  • GE-24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not
  • take a

  • wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land
  • I

  • dwell:



  • GE-24:38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my
  • kindred,

  • and take a wife unto my son.



  • GE-24:39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will
  • not

  • follow me.



  • GE-24:40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk,
  • will send

  • his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a
  • wife

  • for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:



  • GE-24:41 Then shalt thou be clear from [this] my oath, when thou

  • comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee [one], thou
  • shalt be

  • clear from my oath.



  • GE-24:42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD
  • God of

  • my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:



  • GE-24:43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall
  • come to

  • pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw [water], and I
  • say to

  • her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to
  • drink;



  • GE-24:44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also
  • draw for

  • thy camels: [let] the same [be] the woman whom the LORD hath
  • appointed

  • out for my master's son.



  • GE-24:45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold,

  • Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she
  • went down

  • unto the well, and drew [water]: and I said unto her, Let me
  • drink, I

  • pray thee.



  • GE-24:46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her

  • [shoulder], and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink
  • also: so

  • I drank, and she made the camels drink also.



  • GE-24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [art] thou?
  • And

  • she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare
  • unto

  • him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon
  • her

  • hands.



  • GE-24:48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and

  • blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in
  • the

  • right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.



  • GE-24:49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my
  • master,

  • tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand,
  • or to

  • the left.



  • GE-24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing

  • proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.



  • GE-24:51 Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee, take [her], and go,
  • and

  • let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.



  • GE-24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard

  • their words, he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the
  • earth.



  • GE-24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and
  • jewels

  • of gold, and raiment, and gave [them] to Rebekah: he gave also
  • to her

  • brother and to her mother precious things.



  • GE-24:54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that [were]
  • with

  • him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and
  • he

  • said, Send me away unto my master.



  • GE-24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel
  • abide

  • with us [a few] days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.



  • GE-24:56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD
  • hath

  • prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.



  • GE-24:57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at
  • her

  • mouth.



  • GE-24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou
  • go

  • with this man? And she said, I will go.



  • GE-24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse,
  • and

  • Abraham's servant, and his men.



  • GE-24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou
  • [art] our

  • sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of millions, and let
  • thy

  • seed possess the gate of those which hate them.



  • GE-24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon
  • the

  • camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and
  • went

  • his way.



  • GE-24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for
  • he

  • dwelt in the south country.



  • GE-24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the
  • eventide:

  • and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels
  • [were]

  • coming.



  • GE-24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac,
  • she

  • lighted off the camel.



  • GE-24:65 For she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is]
  • this that

  • walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It
  • [is]

  • my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.



  • GE-24:66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.



  • GE-24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent,
  • and took

  • Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was

  • comforted after his mother's [death].
