27. And said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, Who has not left my master bereft and destitute of His loving-kindness and steadfastness. As for me, going on the way [of obedience and faith] the Lord led me to the house of my master's kinsmen.
28. The girl related to her mother's household what had happened.
29. Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man at the well.
30. For when he saw the earring or nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and when he heard Rebekah his sister saying, The man said this to me, he went to the man and found him standing by the camels at the well.
31. He cried, Come in, you blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside? For I have made the house ready and have prepared a place for the camels.
32. So the man came into the house; and [Laban] ungirded his camels and gave straw and provender for the camels and water to bathe his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33. A meal was set before him, but he said, I will not eat until I have told of my errand. And [Laban] said, Speak on.
34. And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
35. And the Lord has blessed my master mightily, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks, herds, silver, gold, menservants, maidservants, camels, and asses.
36. And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old, and to him he has given all that he has.
37. And 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 dwell,
38. But you shall go to my father's house and to my family and take a wife for my son.
39. And I said to my master, But suppose the woman will not follow me.
40. And he said to me, The Lord, in Whose presence I walk [habitually], will send His Angel with you and prosper your way, and you will take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father's house.
