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,

The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the desert on the road to Shur.

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

"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.

"Joseph is descended from a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine planted near springs of water. His branches climb over walls.

Then God said, "Let there be a canopy between bodies of water, separating bodies of water from bodies of water!"

The LORD God caused every tree that is both beautiful and suitable for food to spring up out of the ground. The tree of life was also in the middle of the garden, along with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

That's why the spring was called, "The Well of the Living One who Looks after Me." It was between Kadesh and Bered.

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!

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.

She quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and told me, "Have a drink while I also water your camels.' So I drank, and she also gave my camels water to drink.

The flood waters continued to surge, increasing throughout the earth, while the ark floated on the surface of the flood water.
