swear by the
LORD, the
God of

Canaanites,
among whom I
dwell:

go unto my
country, and to my

take a
wife unto my
son
Isaac.
|
- 24:5 And the
servant

Beware thou that thou
bring
not my
son thither

me from my
father's
house, and from the
land of my
kindred, and which
spake unto me, and that

seed will I
give this
land; he shall
send his
angel before
thee, and thou shalt
take a
wife unto my
son from thence.

kindness unto my
master.

came unto the
man; and, behold, he
stood
by the
camels at the
well.

But thou shalt
go unto my
father's
house, and to my

son.

woman will not
follow
* me.

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:
|
- 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.
|
- 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:
|
- 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;
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 24:50 Then
Laban and
Bethuel
answered and
said, The
thing
proceedeth from the
LORD: we
cannot
speak unto thee
bad
or
good.
|
- 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.
|
- 24:52 And it came to pass, that, when
Abraham's
servant
heard their
words, he
worshipped the
LORD, bowing himself to the
earth.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 24:57 And they
said, We will
call the
damsel, and
enquire at her
mouth.
|
- 24:58 And they
called
Rebekah, and
said unto her, Wilt thou
go with this
man? And she
said, I will
go.
|
- 24:59 And they sent
away
Rebekah their
sister, and her
nurse, and
Abraham's
servant, and his
men.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 24:62 And
Isaac
came from the
way of the well
Lahairoi; for he
dwelt in the
south
country.
|
- 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.
|
- 24:64 And
Rebekah lifted
up her
eyes, and when she
saw
Isaac, she
lighted
off the
camel.
|
- 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
vail, and covered
herself.
|
- 24:66 And the
servant
told
Isaac all
things that he had
done.
|
- 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.
