Genesis 24:13-23 Amplified Bible (AMP)

13. See, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming to draw water.

14. And let it so be that the girl to whom I say, I pray you, let down your jar that I may drink, and she replies, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also–let her be the one whom You have selected and appointed and indicated for Your servant Isaac [to be a wife to him]; and by it I shall know that You have shown kindness and faithfulness to my master.

15. Before he had finished speaking, behold, out came Rebekah, who was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor the brother of Abraham, with her water jar on her shoulder.

16. And the girl was very beautiful and attractive, chaste and modest, and unmarried. And she went down to the well, filled her water jar, and came up.

17. And the servant ran to meet her, and said, I pray you, let me drink a little water from your water jar.

18. And she said, Drink, my lord; and she quickly let down her jar onto her hand and gave him a drink.

19. When she had given him a drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they finish drinking.

20. So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well and drew water for all his camels.

21. The man stood gazing at her in silence, waiting to know if the Lord had made his trip prosperous.

22. And when the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold earring or nose ring of half a shekel in weight, and for her hands two bracelets of ten shekels in weight in gold,

23. And said, Whose daughter are you? I pray you, tell me: Is there room in your father's house for us to lodge there?
