44. If she says, “Yes, have a drink, and I will draw water for your camels, too,” let her be the one you have selected to be the wife of my master’s son.’
45. “Before I had finished praying in my heart, I saw Rebekah coming out with her water jug on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
46. She quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and said, ‘Yes, have a drink, and I will water your camels, too!’ So I drank, and then she watered the camels.
47. “Then I asked, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘I am the daughter of Bethuel, and my grandparents are Nahor and Milcah.’ So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists.
48. “Then I bowed low and worshiped the lord. I praised the lord, the God of my master, Abraham, because he had led me straight to my master’s niece to be his son’s wife.
49. So tell me—will you or won’t you show unfailing love and faithfulness to my master? Please tell me yes or no, and then I’ll know what to do next.”
50. Then Laban and Bethuel replied, “The lord has obviously brought you here, so there is nothing we can say.
51. Here is Rebekah; take her and go. Yes, let her be the wife of your master’s son, as the lord has directed.”
52. When Abraham’s servant heard their answer, he bowed down to the ground and worshiped the lord.
53. Then he brought out silver and gold jewelry and clothing and presented them to Rebekah. He also gave expensive presents to her brother and mother.
54. Then they ate their meal, and the servant and the men with him stayed there overnight.But early the next morning, Abraham’s servant said, “Send me back to my master.”
55. “But we want Rebekah to stay with us at least ten days,” her brother and mother said. “Then she can go.”
56. But he said, “Don’t delay me. The lord has made my mission successful; now send me back so I can return to my master.”
57. “Well,” they said, “we’ll call Rebekah and ask her what she thinks.”
58. So they called Rebekah. “Are you willing to go with this man?” they asked her.And she replied, “Yes, I will go.”
