And lo, he stood yet with the camels by the well side. And Laban said, "Come in, thou blessed of the LORD. Wherefore standest thou without? I have dressed the house and made room for the camels." And then the man came in to the house: and he unbridled the camels: and brought litter and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and their feet that were with him, and there was meat set before him to eat. But he said, "I will not eat, until I have said mine errand." And he said, "Say on."

And he said unto me, 'The LORD before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy journey that thou shalt take a wife for my son, of my kindred and of my father's house. But and if, when thou comest unto my kindred, they will not give thee one; then shalt thou bear no peril of mine oath.'

And before I had made an end of speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth, and her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well and drew. And I said unto her, 'give me drink.' And she made haste, and took down her pitcher from off her, and said, 'drink, and I will give thy camels drink also.' And I drank, and she gave the camels drink also. And I asked her, saying, 'whose daughter art thou?' And she answered, 'the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him.' And I put the earring upon her face and the bracelets upon her hands. And I bowed myself, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham which had brought me the right way, to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son. Now, therefore, if ye will deal mercifully and truly with my master, tell me - And if not, tell me also - that I may turn me to the righthand or to the left." Then answered Laban and Bethuel, saying, "The thing is proceeded even out of the LORD, we can not therefore say unto thee, either good or bad: Behold Rebekah before thy face: take her and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, even as the LORD hath said."

And she said unto him, "My father, if thou have opened thy mouth unto the LORD, then do with me according to that proceeded out of thy mouth, forasmuch as the LORD hath avenged thee of thine enemies the children of Ammon." And she said unto her father, "Do this much for me: let me alone two months that I may go down to the mountains and bewail my virginity with my fellows." And he said, "Go."
