Genesis 24:16-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

16. The young woman was very beautiful. She was a virgin. No man had made love to her. She went down to the spring. She filled her jar and came up again.

17. The servant hurried to meet her. He said, "Please give me a little water from your jar."

18. "Have a drink, sir," she said. She quickly lowered the jar to her hands. And she gave him a drink.

19. After she had given him a drink, she said, "I'll get water for your camels too. I'll keep doing it until they finish drinking."

20. So she quickly emptied her jar into the stone tub. Then she ran back to the well to get more water. She got enough for all of his camels.

21. The man didn't say a word. He watched her closely. He wanted to learn whether the Lord had given him success on the journey he had made.

22. The camels finished drinking. Then the man took out a gold nose ring. It weighed a fifth of an ounce. He also took out two gold bracelets. They weighed four ounces.
