The Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur.

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,

I am standing here at the spring where the daughters of the men of the town are coming out to draw water.

“Before I had finished praying silently, 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.

Then Isaac’s slaves dug in the valley and found a well of spring water there.

Joseph is a fruitful vine,
a fruitful vine beside a spring;
its branches climb over the wall.

That is why she named the spring, “A Well of the Living One Who Sees Me.” It is located between Kadesh and Bered.

Now the girl was very beautiful, a young woman who had not known a man intimately. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came up.

Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and Laban ran out to the man at the spring.

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.

“Today when I came to the spring, I prayed: Lord, God of my master Abraham, if only You will make my journey successful!

Then God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, separating water from water.”

So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse. And it was so.

But water would come out of the ground and water the entire surface of the land.

He made the camels kneel beside a well of water outside the town at evening. This was the time when the women went out to draw water.

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.”

She quickly emptied her jug into the trough and hurried to the well again to draw water. She drew water for all his camels

The waters surged and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

The water steadily receded from the earth, and by the end of 150 days the waters had decreased significantly.

She quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels also.’ So I drank, and she also watered the camels.
