45. “Before I had finished praying, Rebekah came with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water.“So I asked her, ‘May I have a drink?’
46. She quickly lowered her jar and said, ‘Have a drink, and I’ll water your camels too.’ So I drank, and she also watered the camels.
47. “Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’“She answered, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor and Milcah.’“I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
48. I knelt, bowing down to the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord led me in the right direction to get the daughter of my master’s relative for his son.
49. Tell me whether or not you’re going to show my master true kindness so that I will know what to do.”
50. Laban and Bethuel answered, “This is from the Lord. We can’t say anything to you one way or another.
51. Here’s Rebekah! Take her and go! She will become the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has said.”
52. When Abraham’s servant heard their answer, he bowed down to the Lord.
53. The servant took out gold and silver jewelry and clothes and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave expensive presents to her brother and mother.
54. Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night. When they got up in the morning, he said, “Let me go back to my master.”
55. Her brother and mother replied, “Let the girl stay with us ten days or so. After that she may go.”
