Bereshis 24:11-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. And he made his gemalim to kneel down outside the Ir near a be'er hamayim at the time of erev, at the time that women go out to draw mayim.

12. And he said Hashem Elohei adoni Avraham, now, send me success this yom, and show chesed unto adoni Avraham.

13. Hinei, I stand here by the ayin hamayim; and the banot anshei haIr come out to draw mayim;

14. And let it come to pass, that the na'arah to whom I shall say, Let down thy jug, now, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy gemalim drink also; let the same be she that Thou hast appointed for Thy eved Yitzchak; and thereby shall I know that Thou hast showed chesed unto adoni.

15. And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, hinei, Rivkah came out, who was born to Beituel Ben Milcah, eshet Nachor, achi Avraham, with her jug upon her shoulder.

16. And the na'arah was tovat mareh me'od, a betulah, neither had any ish known her: and she went down to haayenah (the spring), and filled her jug, and came up.

17. And the eved hurried to meet her, and said, Let me, now, drink a little mayim of thy jug.

18. And she said,Drink, adoni: and she hasted, and let down her jug upon her yad, and gave him drink

19. And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy gemalim also, until they have done drinking.

20. And she hasted, and emptied her jug into the trough, and ran back unto the be'er to draw, and drew for all his gemalim.

21. And the ish gazed at her and held his peace, so as to have da'as whether Hashem had made his derech prosperous or not.

22. And it came to pass, just as the gemalim had done drinking, that the ish took a nezem zahav (gold ring) by weight a beka, and two tzemidim (bracelets) by weight ten [shekels of] gold for her wrists;

23. And said, Whose bat art thou? Tell me, now: is there makom in the bais of thy av for us to spend the night?
