8. And if the woman shall not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only bring not my son thither again.
9. And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
10. And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed; (for all the goods of his master were in his hands:) and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
11. And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, the time when women go out to draw water:
12. And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, prosper me this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13. Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
14. And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and by that shall I know that thou hast shown kindness to my master.
15. And it came to pass before he had done speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16. And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17. And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water from thy pitcher.
18. And she said, Drink, my lord. And she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19. And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, till they have done drinking.
20. And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
