- So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
- The LORD has blessed my master abundantly, and he has become wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
- My master's wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age, and he has given him everything he owns.
- And my master made me swear an oath, and said, 'You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
- but go to my father's family and to my own clan, and get a wife for my son.'
- "When I came to the spring today, I said, 'LORD, God of my master Abraham, if you will, please grant success to the journey on which I have come.
- See, I am standing beside this spring. If a young woman comes out to draw water and I say to her, "Please let me drink a little water from your jar,"
- and if she says to me, "Drink, and I'll draw water for your camels too," let her be the one the LORD has chosen for my master's son.'
- "Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebekah came out, with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water, and I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
- "She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too.' So I drank, and she watered the camels also.
- "I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' "She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milkah bore to him.' "Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms,
- and I bowed down and worshiped the LORD. I praised the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master's brother for his son.
- Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, so I may know which way to turn."
- So they called Rebekah and asked her, "Will you go with this man?" "I will go," she said.
- So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham's servant and his men.
- And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, "Our sister, may you increase to thousands upon thousands; may your offspring possess the cities of their enemies."
- Then Rebekah and her attendants got ready and mounted the camels and went back with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.
- Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the Negev.
- He went out to the field one evening to meditate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching.
- Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel
- and asked the servant, "Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?" "He is my master," the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.
- Then the servant told Isaac all he had done.
- Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
