28. And so the girl ran, and she reported all that she had heard in the house of her mother.
29. Now Rebekah had a brother, named Laban, who went out quickly to the man, where the spring was.
30. And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister's hands, and he had heard all the words being repeated, "This is what the man spoke to me," he came to the man who stood by the camels and near the spring of water,

32. And he brought him into his guest quarters. And he unharnessed the camels, and he distributed straw and hay, and water to wash his feet and that of the men who arrived with him.
33. And bread was set out in his sight. But he said, "I will not eat, until I have spoken my words." He answered him, "Speak."
