Thematic Bible: Drawing and carrying water


Thematic Bible



As evening approached, he had the camels kneel outside the town at the water well, right about the time when women customarily went out to draw water.

I've stationed myself here by the spring as the women of the town come to draw water.

A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus told her, "Please give me a drink,"

As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women going out to draw water, and they told them, "Is the seer here?"

Before he had finished speaking, Rebekah appeared. She was a daughter of Milcah's son Bethuel. (Milcah was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor.) She approached the well, carrying a jug on her shoulder. The woman was very beautiful, young, and had not had sexual relations with a man. Going down to the spring, she filled her jug and turned for home.
