So she hastened and emptied her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and ran again unto the well, to draw, - and she drew for all his camels. Now the man, was eagerly watching her, - keeping silence to see - whether Yahweh had prospered his way., or not. And it came to pass when the camels had done drinking, that the man took a ring of gold, half a shekel its weight, - and two bracelets for her hands, ten of gold their weight; and said Whose daughter art, thou? I pray thee, tell me. Is there in the house of thy father a place for us to tarry the night? And she said unto him, Daughter of Bethuel, am, I, - Bethuel son of Milcah whom she bare to Nahor. And she said unto him, Both straw and fodder in plenty, have we, - also a place to tarry the night. Then the man bowed his head, and bent himself down unto Yahweh; and said, Blessed be Yahweh. God of my lord Abraham, who hath not withdrawn his lovingkindness and his faithfulness, from my lord, - I - being in the way, Yahweh led me unto the house of the brethren of my lord! And the young woman ran, and told the household of her mother, - according to these words. Now, Rebekah, had a brother, whose name, was Laban, - so Laban ran unto the man outside, unto the fountain. And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister saying, Thus, did the man speak unto me, that he came unto the man, and lo! he was standing by the camels near the fountain; and he said, Come in. thou blessed of Yahweh, - Wherefore shouldst thou stand outside, when I have made ready the house and a place for the camels? So the man came in towards the house, and ungirded the camels, - and there was given him straw and fodder for the camels, and water for bathing his own feet and the feet of the men who were with him; and food was set before him to eat, But he said, I cannot eat, until I have spoken my words. And he said - Speak! Then said he, - Servant of Abraham, am I. Now, Yahweh, having blessed my lord exceedingly, and made him great, - and given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and maid-servants, and camels, and asses, then did Sarah wife of my lord, bear a son to my lord, after she had become old, - so he gave to him all that he had; And my lord put me on oath saying, - Thou shalt not take a wife for my son, of the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land, I, am dwelling; but, unto the house of my father, shalt thou go, and unto my family, - and take a wife for my son. So I said unto my lord, - Peradventure the woman will not follow me. And he said unto me, - Yahweh, before whom I have walked to and fro, will send his messenger with thee, so shall he prosper thy way, and thou shalt take a wife for my son out of my kindred and out of the house of my father. Then, shalt thou clear thyself from mine oath, for thou shalt go in unto my kindred, - and, if they will not grant her unto thee, then shalt thou be clear from mine oath.

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac, - so she alighted with haste from off the camel; and said unto the servant, Who is this man that is walking in the field to meet us? And the servant said, That, is my lord. So she took the veil and covered herself. And the servant recounted to Isaac, - all the things which he had done.
