22. After the camels had finished drinking, he gave Rebekah a gold ring weighing one-fifth of an ounce and two gold arm bracelets weighing about four ounces each.
23. He asked, “Who is your father? Is there a place in his house for me and my men to spend the night?”
24. Rebekah answered, “My father is Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.”
25. Then she said, “And, yes, we have straw for your camels and a place for you to spend the night.”
26. The servant bowed and worshiped the Lord
27. and said, “Blessed is the Lord, the God of my master Abraham. The Lord has been kind and truthful to him and has led me to my master’s relatives.”
28. Then Rebekah ran and told her mother’s family about all these things.
29. She had a brother named Laban, who ran out to Abraham’s servant, who was still at the spring.
30. Laban had heard what she had said and had seen the ring and the bracelets on his sister’s arms. So he ran out to the well, and there was the man standing by the camels at the spring.
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. After Laban unloaded the camels and gave them straw and food, he 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.
35. The Lord has greatly blessed my master in everything, and he has become a rich man. The Lord has given him many flocks of sheep, herds of cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, camels, and horses.
36. Sarah, my master’s wife, gave birth to a son when she was old, and my master has given everything he owns to that son.
37. My master had me make a promise to him and said, ‘Don’t get a wife for my son from the Canaanite girls who live around here.
38. Instead, you must go to my father’s people and to my family. There you must get a wife for my son.’
39. I said to my master, ‘What if the woman will not come back with me?’
