And he said, I will certainly come back to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife will have a son. And his words came to the ears of Sarah who was at the back of the tent-door.

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.

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:

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 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.

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.

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

And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.
