Isaac And Rebekah
2 Abraham said to his servant, the senior one in his household who was in charge of everything he had, "Put your hand under my thigh
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
2 Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had (C)charge of all that he owned, “(D)Please place your hand under my thigh,
2 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his household who managed all he owned, “Place your hand under my thigh,(B)
2 So Abraham instructed his servant, who was the oldest member of his household and in charge of everything he owned, "Make this solemn oath to me
3 so that I may make you solemnly promise by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth: You must not acquire a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living.
3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
3 and I will make you swear by the Lord, (E)the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you (F)shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of (G)the Canaanites, among whom I live,
3 and I will have you swear by the Lord, God of heaven and God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I live,(C)
3 as a promise to the LORD, the God of heaven and earth, that you won't acquire a wife for my son from the Canaanite women among whom I'm living.
4 You must go instead to my country and to my relatives to find a wife for my son Isaac."
4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
4 but will go to my land and my family to take a wife for my son Isaac.”
4 Instead, you are to go to my country and to my family and acquire a wife for my son Isaac."
5 The servant asked him, "What if the woman is not willing to come back with me to this land? Must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?"
5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
5 The servant said to him, “Suppose the woman is not willing to follow me to this land; should I take your son back to the land from where you came?”
5 The servant said to him, “Suppose the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Should I have your son go back to the land you came from?”
5 "What if the woman doesn't want to come back with me to this land?" the servant asked. "Shouldn't I have your son go to the land from which you came?"
7 "The Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and the land of my relatives, promised me with a solemn oath, 'To your descendants I will give this land.' He will send his angel before you so that you may find a wife for my son from there.
7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
7 (J)The Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and who swore to me, saying, ‘(K)To your (a)descendants I will give this land,’ He will send (L)His angel before you, and you will take a wife for my son from there.
7 The Lord, the God of heaven,(D) who took me from my father’s house and from my native land,(E) who spoke to me and swore to me, ‘I will give this land to your offspring’(F)—He will send His angel before you,(G) and you can take a wife for my son from there.
7 "The LORD God of heaven, who brought me from my father's house and from my family's land, who spoke to me and promised me "I will give this land to your descendants,' will send his angel ahead of you, and you are to acquire a wife for my son from there.
8 But if the woman is not willing to come back with you, you will be free from this oath of mine. But you must not take my son back there!"
8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
8 But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will (M)be free from this my oath; (N)only do not take my son back there.”
8 If the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are free from this oath to me,(H) but don’t let my son go back there.”
8 If the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you'll be free from this oath to me. Just don't take my son back there!"
9 So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and gave his solemn promise he would carry out his wishes.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
9 So the servant (O)placed his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
9 So the servant placed his hand under his master Abraham’s thigh and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.
9 So the servant made a solemn oath to his master Abraham regarding this matter.
10 Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed with all kinds of gifts from his master at his disposal. He journeyed to the region of Aram Naharaim and the city of Nahor.
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 hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
10 Then the servant took ten camels from the camels of his master, and set out with a variety of (P)good things of his master’s in his hand; and he arose and went to (b)Mesopotamia, to (Q)the city of Nahor.
10 The servant took 10 of his master’s camels and departed with all kinds of his master’s goods in hand. Then he set out for Nahor’s town Aram-naharaim.
10 Then Abraham's servant took ten camels from his master's herd of camels and left on his journey with all kinds of gifts from his master's inventory. Eventually, he traveled as far as Aram-naharaim, Nahor's home town.

11 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.
12 He prayed, "O Lord, God of my master Abraham, guide me today. Be faithful to my master Abraham.
12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
12 He said, “(T)O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, please (c)(U)grant me success today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham.
12 “Lord, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “give me success today,(I) and show kindness to my master Abraham.
12 That's when he prayed, "LORD God of my master Abraham, help me to succeed today. Please show your gracious love to my master Abraham.
13 Here I am, standing by the spring, and the daughters of the people who live in the town are coming out to draw water.
13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
13 Behold, (V)I am standing by the (d)spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;
13 I am standing here(J) at the spring where the daughters of the men of the town are coming out to draw water.
13 I've stationed myself here by the spring as the women of the town come to draw water.
14 I will say to a young woman, 'Please lower your jar so I may drink.' May the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac reply, 'Drink, and I'll give your camels water too.' In this way I will know that you have been faithful to my master."
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 thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
14 now may it be that the girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar so that I may drink,’ and (e)who answers, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels also’—may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown lovingkindness to my master.”
14 Let the girl to whom I say, ‘Please lower your water jug so that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels also’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. By this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
14 May it be that the young woman to whom I ask, "Please, lower your jug so that I may drink,' responds, "Have a drink, and I'll water your camels as well.' May she be the one whom you have chosen for your servant Isaac. This is how I'll know that you have shown your gracious love to my master."
15 Before he had finished praying, there came Rebekah with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah (Milcah was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor).
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.
15 (W)Before he had finished speaking, behold, (X)Rebekah who was born to Bethuel the son of (Y)Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.
15 Before he had finished speaking, there was Rebekah—daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah,(K) the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor—coming with a jug on her shoulder.
15 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.
16 Now the young woman was very beautiful. She was a virgin; no man had ever had sexual relations with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came back up.
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 Abraham's servant ran to meet her and said, "Please give me a sip of water from your jug."
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
17 Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, “(AA)Please let me drink a little water from your jar.”
17 Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me have a little water from your jug.”
17 Then Abraham's servant ran to meet her and asked her, "Please, let me have a sip of water from your jug."
18 "Drink, my lord," she replied, and quickly lowering her jug to her hands, she gave him a drink.
18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
18 (AB)She said, “Drink, my lord”; and she quickly lowered her jar to her hand, and gave him a drink.
18 She replied, “Drink, my lord.” She quickly lowered her jug to her hand and gave him a drink.
18 "Drink, sir!" she replied as she quickly lowered her jug on her arm to offer him a drink.
19 When she had done so, she said, "I'll draw water for your camels too, until they have drunk as much as they want."
19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
19 Now when she had finished giving him a drink, (AC)she said, “I will draw also for your camels until they have finished drinking.”
19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I’ll also draw water for your camels until they have had enough to drink.”(b)
19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she also said, "I'll also draw water for your camels until they've had enough to drink."
20 She quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw more water until she had drawn enough for all his camels.

21 while the man silently watched her to see whether or not the Lord had made his journey a success.

30 When he saw the bracelets on his sister's wrists and the nose ring and heard his sister Rebekah say, "This is what the man said to me," he went out to meet the man. There he was, standing by the camels near the spring.
30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
30 When he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister’s (i)wrists, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “(j)This is what the man said to me,” he went to the man; and behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
30 As soon as he had seen the ring and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and when he had heard his sister Rebekah’s words—“The man said this to me!”—he went to the man. He was standing there by the camels at the spring.
30 And so it was, as soon as he saw the nose ring and bracelets on his sister's wrists, and as soon as he heard what his sister Rebekah was saying about what the man had spoken to her, he went out to the man who was still standing by the camels at the spring!
31 Laban said to him, "Come, you who are blessed by the Lord! Why are you standing out here when I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?"
31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
31 And he said, “(AM)Come in, (AN)blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside since (AO)I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels?”
31 Laban said, “Come, you who are blessed by the Lord.(P) Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
31 "Come on," Laban said. "The LORD has blessed you! So why are you standing out here when I've prepared some space in the house and a place for the camels?"

32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.

32 So the man came to the house, and the camels were unloaded.(Q) Straw and feed were given to the camels, and water was brought to wash his feet and the feet of the men with him.
32 So the servant went to the house and unbridled the camels. They provided straw and feed for the camels and water for washing his feet and those of the men with him.
33 When food was served, he said, "I will not eat until I have said what I want to say." "Tell us," Laban said.
33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
33 But when food was set before him to eat, he said, “I will not eat until I have told my business.” And he said, “Speak on.”
33 A meal was set before him, but he said, “I will not eat until I have said what I have to say.”So Laban said, “Please speak.”
33 But when they had prepared a meal and set it in front of him, he said, "I'm not eating until I've spoken." "Speak up!" Laban exclaimed.
35 "The Lord has richly blessed my master and he has become very wealthy. The Lord has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

37 My master made me swear an oath. He said, 'You must not acquire a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,
37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
37 (AV)My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I (n)live;
37 My master put me under this oath: ‘You will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I live
37 My master made me swear this oath: "You are not to select a wife for my son from among the daughters of the Canaanites in this land where I live.
38 but you must go to the family of my father and to my relatives to find a wife for my son.'
38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
38 but you shall go to my father’s house and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
38 but will go to my father’s household and to my family to take a wife for my son.’
38 Instead, you are to go to my father's household, to my relatives, and choose a wife for my son there.'
40 He answered, 'The Lord, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with you. He will make your journey a success and you will find a wife for my son from among my relatives, from my father's family.
40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
40 He said to me, ‘(AX)The Lord, before whom I have (AY)walked, will send (AZ)His angel with you to make your journey successful, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house;
40 He said to me, ‘The Lord before whom I have walked(T) will send His angel with you and make your journey a success, and you will take a wife for my son from my family and from my father’s household.
40 "Abraham told me, "The LORD, who is with me wherever I go, will send his angel with you to make your journey successful. So you are to choose a wife for my son from my family, from my father's household.
41 You will be free from your oath if you go to my relatives and they will not give her to you. Then you will be free from your oath.'
41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
41 (BA)then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives; and if they do not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.’
41 Then you will be free from my oath if you go to my family and they do not give her to you—you will be free from my oath.’
41 Only then will you be released from fulfilling my oath. However, when you come to my family, if they don't give her to you, you'll be released from fulfilling my oath.'
42 When I came to the spring today, I prayed, 'O Lord, God of my master Abraham, if you have decided to make my journey successful, may events unfold as follows:
42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
42 “So (BB)I came today to the spring, and said, ‘O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if now You will make my journey on which I go (BC)successful;
42 “Today when I came to the spring, I prayed: Lord, God of my master Abraham, if only You will make my journey successful!
42 "So today I arrived at the spring and prayed, "LORD God of my master Abraham, if you wish to make the journey that I have traveled successful,
43 Here I am, standing by the spring. When the young woman goes out to draw water, I'll say, "Give me a little water to drink from your jug."
43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
43 behold, (BD)I am standing by the (o)spring, and may it be that the maiden who comes out to draw, and to whom I say, “(BE)Please let me drink a little water from your jar”;
43 I am standing here at a spring. Let the virgin who comes out to draw water, and I say to her: Please let me drink a little water from your jug,
43 here I am standing by the spring. May it be that the young woman who comes out to draw water, from whom I request a little water from her jug to drink,
44 Then she will reply to me, "Drink, and I'll draw water for your camels too." May that woman be the one whom the Lord has chosen for my master's son.'
44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.
44 and she will say to me, “You drink, and I will draw for your camels also”; let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.’
44 and who responds to me, ‘Drink, and I’ll draw water for your camels also’—let her be the woman the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.
44 if she tells me to drink and also draws water for the camels, may she be the woman that the LORD has chosen for my master's son.'
45 "Before I finished praying in my heart, along came Rebekah with her water jug on her shoulder! She went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
45 “Before I had finished (BF)speaking in my heart, behold, (BG)Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder, and went down to the spring and drew, and (BH)I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
45 “Before I had finished praying silently,(U) there was Rebekah coming with her jug on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her: Please let me have a drink.
45 "Before I had finished praying, along came Rebekah with her jug on her shoulder! She went to the spring and drew some water. I asked her to please let me have a drink.
46 She quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I'll give your camels water too.' So I drank, and she also gave the camels water.
46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
46 She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder, and said, ‘(BI)Drink, and I will water your camels also’; so I drank, and she watered the camels also.
