41. " 'When you go to my relatives, suppose they refuse to give her to you. Then you will be free from your oath.'
42. "Today I came to the spring. I said, 'Lord, you are the God of my master Abraham. Please give me success on this journey I've made.

44. Suppose she says, "Have a drink of water. And I'll get some for your camels too." Then let her be the one the Lord has chosen for my master's son.'
45. "Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebekah came out. She had a jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and got water. I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
