He said: O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today. Show loving-kindness to my master Abraham. I am standing by the spring. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. Let there be the girl to whom I say: 'Please let down your jar so that I may drink,' and who answers: 'Drink, and I will water your camels also.' May she be the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown loving-kindness to my master.
