Genesis 24:8-12 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

8. If the woman refuses to come along, you don't have to keep this promise. But don't ever take my son back there.”

9. So the servant gave Abraham his word that he would do everything he had been told to do.

10. Soon after that, the servant loaded ten of Abraham's camels with valuable gifts. Then he set out for the city in northern Syria, where Abraham's brother Nahor lived.

11. When he got there, he let the camels rest near the well outside the city. It was late afternoon, the time when the women came out for water.

12. The servant prayed:You, Lord, are the God my master Abraham worships. Please keep your promise to him and let me find a wife for Isaac today.
