Genesis 24:10-19 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

10. And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; now all the treasure of his master was under his hand; and he arose and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor.

11. And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, when the women came out to draw water.

12. And he said, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, meet me, I pray thee, with thy blessing this day, and deal kindly with my master Abraham.

13. Behold, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.

14. And let it come to pass, that the maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and who will say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, be she whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and hereby I shall know that thou hast dealt kindly with my master.

15. And it came to pass before he had ended speaking, that behold, Rebecca came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; and she had her pitcher upon her shoulder.

16. And the maiden was very fair in countenance; a virgin, and no man had known her. And she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

17. And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, sip a little water out of thy pitcher.

18. And she said, Drink, my lord! And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him to drink.

19. And when she had given him enough to drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have drunk enough.
