14. This is my request. I will ask one of them, ‘Please give me a drink from your jug.’ If she says, ‘Yes, have a drink, and I will water your camels, too!’—let her be the one you have selected as Isaac’s wife. This is how I will know that you have shown unfailing love to my master.”
15. Before he had finished praying, he saw a young woman named Rebekah coming out with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Abraham’s brother Nahor and his wife, Milcah.
16. Rebekah was very beautiful and old enough to be married, but she was still a virgin. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came up again.
17. Running over to her, the servant said, “Please give me a little drink of water from your jug.”
18. “Yes, my lord,” she answered, “have a drink.” And she quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and gave him a drink.
19. When she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels, too, until they have had enough to drink.”
20. So she quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw water for all his camels.
21. The servant watched her in silence, wondering whether or not the lord had given him success in his mission.
22. Then at last, when the camels had finished drinking, he took out a gold ring for her nose and two large gold bracelets for her wrists.
