Genesis 24:17-31 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

17. And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray you, drink a little water of your pitcher.

18. And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hastened, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

19. And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.

20. And she hastened, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

21. And the man wondering at her held his peace, to learn whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

22. And it came to pass, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;

23. And said, Whose daughter are you? tell me, I pray you: is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?

24. And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore unto Nahor.

25. She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and fodder enough, and room to lodge in.

26. And the man bowed down his head, and worshiped the LORD.

27. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's kinsmen.

28. And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.

29. And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

30. And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

31. And he said, Come in, you blessed of the LORD; why stand you outside? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
