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.

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.

33. Then Laban gave the servant food. But the servant said, “I will not eat until I have told you why I came.”So Laban said, “Then tell us.”

34. He said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
