1And Abraham was old, going on in age. And the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. 2And Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, I pray you, put your hand under my thigh. 3And I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of Heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell. 4But you shall go to my country and to my kindred, and take a wife to my son Isaac. 5And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I necessarily bring your son again to the land from which you came? 6And Abraham said to him, Take care that you do not bring my son there again. 7The LORD, the God of Heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: He shall send His Angel before you. And you shall take a wife to my son from there. 8And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath of mine. Only do not bring my son there again. 9And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master and swore to him concerning the matter. 10And 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 to the city of Nahor. 11And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, the time that women go out to draw. 12And he said, O LORD, God of my master Abraham, I pray You, send me good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13Behold, I stand by the well of water. And the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water. 14And let it be that the young woman to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, please, so that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also. [Let] her [be] the one that You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by it I shall know that You have shown kindness to my master. 15And before he had finished speaking, it happened, 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. 16And the young woman [was] very beautiful 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. 17And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Please let me drink a little water of your pitcher. 18And she said, Drink, my lord. And she hurried and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave [a] drink to him. 19And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw [water] for your camels also, until they have finished drinking. 20And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher in the trough, and ran again to the well to draw [water]. And she drew for all his camels. 21And the man was watching her, keeping silent, in order to know whether the LORD had prospered his journey or not. 22And it happened, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hand, weighing ten shekels of gold. 23And he said, Whose daughter [are] you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father's house for us to stay? 24And she said to him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor. 25And she said to him, We have both straw and fodder enough, and room to lodge in. 26And the man bowed down [his head], and worshiped the Lord. 27And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, God of my master Abraham, who has not left my master destitute of His mercy and His truth. The LORD led me, I [being] in the way to the house of my master's brothers. 28And the young woman ran and told her mother's house these things. 29And Rebekah [had] a brother, and his name [was] Laban. And Laban ran out to the man, to the well. 30And it happened when he saw the earrings and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, So spoke the man to me, he came to the man. And behold, he stood by the camels at the well. 31And he said, Come in, blessed of the LORD. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels. 32And the man came into the house. And he unloaded his camels, and gave straw and fodder to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men that were with him. 33And [food] was set before him to eat. But he said, I will not eat until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on. 34And he said, I [am] Abraham's servant. 35And the LORD has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great. And He has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and male slaves and slave women, and camels and asses. 36And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old. And he has given to him all that he has. 37And my master made me swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live. 38But you shall go to my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife to my son. 39And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me. 40And he said to me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his Angel with you, and prosper your way. And you shall take a wife for my son from my kindred, and from my father's house. 41Then shall you be clear from my oath when you come to my kindred, and if they do not give you [one], you shall be clear from my oath. 42And I came this day to the well, and said, O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if now You prosper my way in which I go, 43behold, I stand by the well of water. And it shall be when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, please, a little water from your pitcher to drink, 44and she says to me, Both you drink, and I will also draw for your camels, may she be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son. 45And before I finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. And she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, Please let me drink. 46And she hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give drink to your camels also. So I drank, and she made the camels drink also. 47And I asked her and said, Whose daughter [are] you? And she said, The [daughter] of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the earring upon her nose and the bracelets upon her hands. 48And I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter to his son. 49And now if you will deal kindly and truthfully with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me so that I may turn to the right hand or to the left. 50And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing has come forth from the LORD. We cannot speak to you bad or good. 51Behold! Rebekah is before you; take [her] and go. And let her be the wife of your master's son, even as the LORD has spoken. 52And it happened, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the earth to the LORD, bowing himself to the earth. 53And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave [them] to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother. 54And they ate and drank, he and the men with him, and stayed all night. And they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master. 55And her brother and her mother said, Let the young woman stay with us perhaps ten days. After that she shall go. 56And he said to them, Do not hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way. Send me away, that I may go away to my master. 57And they said, We will call the young woman and inquire at her mouth. 58And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go. 59And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. 60And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, Our sister, be the mother of thousands of millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them. 61And Rebekah rose up, and her young women, and they rode upon the camels and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah and went his way. 62And Isaac came from the way of the well, The Well of the Living One, my Beholder. For he lived in the south country. 63And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the beginning of the evening. And he lifted up his eyes, and looked. And behold, camels coming! 64And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and she saw Isaac. And she dismounted from the camel. 65For she said to the servant, What man [is] this that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master. Therefore she took a veil and covered herself. 66And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. 67And 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.
