Genesis 24:21-32 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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.”

25. Then she said, “And, yes, we have straw for your camels. We have a place for you to spend the night.”

26. The servant bowed and worshiped the Lord.

27. He said, “Blessed is the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord has been kind and truthful to him. He has led me to my master’s relatives.”

28. Then Rebekah ran and told her mother’s family about all these things.

29. She had a brother named Laban. He ran out to Abraham’s servant, who was still at the spring.

30. Laban had heard what she had said. And he had seen the ring and the bracelets on his sister’s arms. So he ran out to the well. And there was the man standing by the camels at the spring.

31. Laban said, “Sir, you are welcome to come in. You don’t have to stand outside. I have prepared the house for you and also a place for your camels.”

32. So Abraham’s servant went into the house. Laban unloaded the camels and gave them straw and food. Then Laban gave water to Abraham’s servant so he and the men with him could wash their feet.
