And a river went out of Eden giving water to the garden; and from there it was parted and became four streams.

Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out.

And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

Let me get water for washing your feet, and take your rest under the tree:

And early in the morning Abraham got up, and gave Hagar some bread and a water-skin, and put the boy on her back, and sent her away: and she went, wandering in the waste land of Beer-sheba.

And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.

Then God made her eyes open, and she saw a water-spring, and she got water in the skin and gave the boy a drink.

But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force.

And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole.

And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.

See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water:

Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.

And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.

She was a very beautiful girl, a virgin, who had never been touched by a man: and she went down to the spring to get water in her vessel.

And the servant came running to her and said, Give me a little water from your vessel.

And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.

And after putting the water from her vessel into the animals' drinking-place, she went quickly back to the spring and got water for all the camels.

Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring.

And when he saw the nose-ring and the ornaments on his sister's hands, and when she gave him word of what the man had said to her, then he went out to the man who was waiting with the camels by the water-spring.

Then the man came into the house, and Laban took their cords off the camels and gave them dry grass and food, and he gave to him and the men who were with him water for washing their feet.

And I came today to the water-spring, and I said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if it is your purpose to give a good outcome to my journey,

Let it come about that, while I am waiting here by the water-spring, if a girl comes to get water and I say to her, Give me a little water from your vessel, and she says,

Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.

And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink.

And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.

Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.

And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.

Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water.

Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.

Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.

Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole.

And that day Isaac's servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water.

And there he saw a water-hole in a field, and by the side of it three flocks of sheep, for there they got water for the sheep: and on the mouth of the water-hole there was a great stone.

And all the flocks would come together there, and when the stone had been rolled away, they would give the sheep water, and put the stone back again in its place on the mouth of the water-hole.

Then Jacob said, The sun is still high and it is not time to get the cattle together: get water for the sheep and go and give them their food.

And they said, We are not able to do so till all the flocks have come together and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the water-hole; then we will get water for the sheep.

Then when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, coming with Laban's sheep, he came near, and rolling the stone away from the mouth of the hole, he got water for Laban's flock.

And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.

And these are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; that same Anah who made the discovery of the water-springs in the waste land, when he was looking after the asses of his father Zibeon.

And they took him and put him in the hole: now the hole had no water in it.

And the servant took them into Joseph's house, and gave them water for washing their feet; and he gave their asses food.
