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.”
20. So she quickly poured all the water from her jar into the drinking trough for the camels. Then she kept running to the well until she had given all the camels enough to drink.
21. The servant quietly watched her. He wanted to be sure the Lord had made his trip successful.
22. After the camels had finished drinking, he gave Rebekah a gold ring weighing one-fifth of an ounce. He also gave her two gold arm bracelets weighing about four ounces each.
23. The servant asked, “Who is your father? Is there a place in his house for me and my men to spend the night?”
24. Rebekah answered, “My father is Bethuel. He is the son of Milcah and Nahor.”
