12. “Adonai, the God of Abraham my master,” he said, “please make something happen before me today, and show loyalty to Abraham my master.
13. Look, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are going out to draw water.
14. Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please tip your jar so that I may drink,’ and she will say, ‘Drink—and I’ll also water your camels’—let her be the one You have appointed for your servant Isaac. So by this I’ll know that You have shown graciousness to my master.”
15. Now before he had finished speaking, behold there was Rebekah (who was born to Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother) going out with her jar on her shoulder.
16. Now the young woman was very good looking, a girl of marriageable age, and she was a virgin. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.
17. Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me sip a little water from your jar.”
18. So she said, “Drink, my lord,” and she quickly lowered her jar onto her hand and gave him a drink.
19. Now when she finished giving him a drink, she said, “I’ll also draw water for your camels until they’ve finished drinking.”
20. So she quickly poured out her jug into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew water for all his camels,
21. while the man continued to pay close attention to her, keeping silent in order to know whether or not Adonai had made his way successful.
22. Now after the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a nose ring of gold weighing a half-shekel and two bracelets on her hands weighing ten shekels of gold.
