25. Then she said to him, “We have both straw and fodder in abundance, as well as a place to spend the night.”
26. And the man knelt down and worshiped Yahweh.
27. And he said, “Blessed be Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld his loyal love and his faithfulness from my master. I was on the way and Yahweh led me to the house of my master’s brother.”
28. Then the girl ran and reported these things to the household of her mother.
29. Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. And Laban ran out to the man toward the spring.
30. And when he saw the ring and the bracelets on the arms of his sister and heard the words of Rebekah his sister, who said, “Thus the man spoke to me,” he went to the man. And behold, he was standing with the camels at the spring.
31. And he said, “Come, O blessed one of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? Now I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
32. And the man came to the house and unloaded the camels. And he gave straw and fodder to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33. And food was placed before him to eat. And he said, “I will not eat until I have told my errand.” And he said, “Speak.”
34. And he said, “I am the servant of Abraham.
35. Now Yahweh has blessed my master exceedingly, and he has become great. He has given to him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male slaves and female slaves, and camels and donkeys.
36. And Sarah, the wife of my master, has borne a son to my master after her old age. And he has given to him all that he has.
37. And my master made me swear, saying, ‘Do not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I am living.
38. But you shall go to the house of my father, and to my family, and you shall take a wife for my son.’
39. And I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.’
40. And he said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I have walked, shall send his angel with you and will make your journey successful. And you shall take a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father.
41. Then you shall be released from my oath, when you come to my family. And if they will not give a woman to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
