10. The servant took ten of his master’s camels and all of his master’s best provisions, set out, and traveled to Nahor’s city in Aram-naharaim.
11. He had the camels kneel down outside the city at the well in the evening, when women come out to draw water.
12. He said, "Lord, God of my master Abraham, make something good happen for me today and be loyal to my master Abraham.
13. I will stand here by the spring while the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.
14. When I say to a young woman, ‘Hand me your water jar so I can drink,’ and she says to me, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels water too,’ may she be the one you’ve selected for your servant Isaac. In this way I will know that you’ve been loyal to my master."
15. Even before he finished speaking, Rebekah—daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother—was coming out with a water jar on her shoulder.
16. The young woman was very beautiful, old enough to be married, and hadn’t known a man intimately. She went down to the spring, filled her water jar, and came back up.
17. The servant ran to meet her and said, "Give me a little sip of water from your jar."
18. She said, "Drink, sir." Then she quickly lowered the water jar with her hands and gave him some water to drink.
19. When she finished giving him a drink, she said, "I’ll draw some water for your camels too, till they’ve had enough to drink."
20. She emptied her water jar quickly into the watering trough, ran to the well again to draw water, and drew water for all of the camels.
21. The man stood gazing at her, wondering silently if the Lord had made his trip successful or not.
