24. She answered him, “I’m the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah and Nahor.

25. We have plenty of straw and feed ⌊for your camels⌋ and room for you to spend the night.”

26. The man knelt, bowing to the Lord with his face touching the ground.

27. He said, “Praise the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord hasn’t failed to be kind and faithful to my master. The Lord has led me on this trip to the home of my master’s relatives.”

28. The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.

29. Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban.

30. He saw the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists and heard her tell what the man had said to her. Immediately, Laban ran out to the man by the spring. He came to the man, who was standing with the camels by the spring.

31. He said, “Come in, you whom the Lord has blessed. Why are you standing out here? I have straightened up the house and made a place for the camels.”
