God's Word Translation

Genesis 24:10-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

10. Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and left, taking with him all of his master’s best things. He traveled to Aram Naharaim, Nahor’s city.

11. The servant had the camels kneel down outside the city by the well. It was evening, when the women would go out to draw water.

12. Then he prayed, “Lord, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today. Show your kindness to Abraham.

13. Here I am standing by the spring, and the girls of the city are coming out to draw water.

14. I will ask a girl, ‘May I please have a drink from your jar?’ If she answers, ‘Have a drink, and I’ll also water your camels,’ let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. This way I’ll know that you’ve shown your kindness to my master.”

15. Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, who was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.
