Genesis 24:21-28 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

21. The man watched her the whole time, silently waiting to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey successful.

22. When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose-ring weighing half a shekel, and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels for her wrists.

23. Then he asked her: “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please. And is there a place in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”

24. She answered: “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.

25. We have plenty of straw and fodder,” she added, “and also a place to spend the night.”

26. The man then knelt and bowed down to the Lord,

27. saying: “Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not let his kindness and fidelity toward my master fail. As for me, the Lord has led me straight to the house of my master’s brother.”

28. Then the young woman ran off and told her mother’s household what had happened.
