15. he had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder:
16. An exceedingly comely maid, and a most beautiful virgin, and not known to man: and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher and was coming back.
17. And the servant ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher.
18. And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink.
19. And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink.
20. And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water: and having drawn she gave to all the camels.
21. But he musing beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
