30. When he saw the nose ring and bracelets on his sister’s hands and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he went to the man who stood by the camels at the well.
31. And he said, “Come in, blessed of the Lord. Why do you stand outside? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
32. So the man came to the house. Then he unloaded his camels and gave straw and provision to the camels and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33. He then set food before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told about my errand.”And he said, “Speak on.”
34. So he said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
35. The Lord has greatly blessed my master, and he has become wealthy. He has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
36. 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.
37. My master made me swear, saying, ‘You must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live.
38. But you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
39. “So I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.’
40. “Then he said to me, ‘The Lord, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house.
41. You will be free from my oath, when you come to my family, if they will not give her to you; then you will be released from my oath.’
42. “So today I came to the well and said, ‘O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if You will now give me success in my task;
43. I am standing by the well of water, and let it be that when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
44. and she says to me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,” let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.’
45. “Before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. Then I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
46. “She then quickly let down her pitcher from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also.’ So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink also.
