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.
29. Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban. Laban rushed outside to the man at the spring.
30. When he saw the nose-ring and the bracelets on his sister’s arms and when he heard Rebekah repeating what the man had said to her, he went to him while he was standing by the camels at the spring.
31. He said: “Come, blessed of the Lord! Why are you standing outside when I have made the house ready, as well as a place for the camels?”
32. The man then went inside; and while the camels were being unloaded and provided with straw and fodder, water was brought to bathe his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
