Genesis 24:13-19 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

13. Here I am, standing by the spring of water. The girls from the city are coming out to get water.

14. I will say to one of the girls, ‘Please put your jar down so I can drink.’ Then let her say, ‘Drink, and I will also give water to your camels.’ If that happens, I will know she is the right one for your servant Isaac. And I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”

15. Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah came out of the city. She was the daughter of Bethuel. (Bethuel was the son of Milcah and Nahor, Abraham’s brother.) Rebekah was carrying her water jar on her shoulder.

16. She was very pretty. She was a virgin; she had never had physical relations with a man. She went down to the spring and filled her jar. Then she came back up.

17. The servant ran to her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.”

18. Rebekah said, “Drink, sir.” She quickly lowered the jar from her shoulder and gave him a drink.

19. After he finished drinking, Rebekah said, “I will also pour some water for your camels.”
