24:1
And
Abraham
was
old
, and well
stricken
in age: and
the LORD
had
bless
ed Abraham in all things.
24:2
And Abraham said unto his
eldest servant
of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my
thigh
:
24:3
And I will make thee
swear by the LORD
,
the God of heaven
, and
the God of the earth
, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the
Canaanite
s, among whom I dwell:
24:4
But thou shalt go unto my
country
, and to my
kindred
, and take a wife unto my son
Isaac
.
24:5
And the servant said unto him,
Peradventure
the woman will not be willing to
follow me
unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land
from whence
thou camest?
24:6
And Abraham said unto him,
Beware
thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
24:7
The LORD
God of heaven
, which took me from
my father's house
, and from
the land of my kindred
, and which spake unto me, and that
sware
unto me, saying,
Unto thy seed will I give this land
; he shall send his
angel
before thee, and thou shalt
take a wife unto my son
from thence.
24:8
And if the woman will not be
willing to follow
thee, then thou shalt be
clear
from this my
oath
: only bring not my son thither again.
24:9
And
the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham
his master, and sware to him concerning that
matter
.
24:10
And the servant took
ten camels
of the
camel
s of his
master
, and departed; for all
the goods
of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to
Mesopotamia
, unto the city of
Nahor
.
24:11
And he made his camels to
kneel down
without the city by
a well of water
at the time of the
evening
, even
the time that women go out to draw water
.
24:12
And he said
O LORD
God
of my master Abraham, I
pray thee
, send me
good speed
this day, and shew
kindness
unto my master Abraham.
24:13
Behold
, I stand here by the well of water; and
the daughters of the men of the city
come out to draw
water
: 24:14 And let it come to pass, that the
damsel
to whom I shall say,
Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink
; and she shall say, Drink, and
I will give thy camels drink also
: let the same be
she that thou hast appointed
for thy servant
Isaac
; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed
kindness
unto my master.
24:15
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,
behold
, Rebekah
came out
, who was born to
Bethuel
, son of
Milcah
, the wife of
Nahor
,
Abraham
's brother, with her
pitcher
upon her shoulder.
24:16
And the
damsel
was very
fair
to look upon, a
virgin
, neither had any man
know
n her: and she went down to
the well
, and
filled her pitcher
, and came up.
24:17
And the
servant
ran to meet her, and said,
Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher
.
24:18
And she said,
Drink, my lord
: and she
hasted
, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him
drink
.
24:19
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw
water for thy camels
also, until they have done drinking.
24:20
And she hasted, and
emptied her pitcher
into the
trough
, and ran again unto
the well
to
draw water
, and drew for
all his camels
.
24:21
And the man
wonder
ing at her held his peace,
to wit
whether
the LORD
had made his journey
prosperous
or not.
24:22
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a
golden earring
of
half a shekel
weight, and two
bracelet
s for her hands of
ten shekels
weight of
gold
;
24:23
And said,
Whose daughter art thou?
tell me, I
pray thee
: is there room in thy father's house for us to
lodge
in?
24:24
And she said unto him, I am
the daughter of Bethuel
the son of Milcah
, which she bare unto Nahor.
24:25
She said
moreover
unto him, We have both
straw
and
provender
enough, and
room to lodge in
.
24:26
And the man bowed down his head, and
worship
ped
the LORD
.
24:27
And he said,
Blessed be the LORD
God of my master
Abraham, who hath not left
destitute
my master of
his mercy and his truth
: I being in the way,
the LORD led me
to the house of my master's
brethren
.
24:28
And
the damsel
ran, and told them of her
mother's house
these things.
24:29
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was
Laban
: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
24:30
And it came to pass, when he saw
the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands
, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and,
behold
, he stood by
the camels at the well
.
24:31
And he said,
Come in
, thou
blessed of the LORD
; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and
room for the camels
.
24:32
And the man came into the house: and he
ungird
ed his camels, and gave
straw and provender
for the camels, and water to
wash his feet
, and
the men's feet that were with him
.
24:33
And there was set
meat
before him to eat: but he said,
I will not eat, until I have told mine errand
. And he said,
Speak on
.
24:34
And he said,
I am Abraham's servant
.
24:35
And
the LORD
hath blessed my master greatly; and
he is become great
: and he hath given him
flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses
.
24:36
And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
24:37
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not
take a wife
to my son of
the daughters of the Canaanites
, in whose land I dwell:
24:38
But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my
kindred
, and take a wife unto my son.
24:39
And I said unto my master, Peradventure
the woman will not follow me
.
24:40
And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his
angel
with thee, and prosper thy way; and
thou shalt take a wife
for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
24:41
Then shalt thou
be clear from this my oath
, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt
be clear from my oath
.
24:42
And I came this day unto
the well
, and said,
O LORD
God of my master
Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
24:43
Behold
, I stand by
the well of water
; and it shall come to pass, that
when the virgin cometh forth to draw water
, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee,
a little water of thy pitcher
to drink;
24:44
And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be
the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son
.
24:45
And before I had done
speaking in mine heart
, behold, Rebekah came forth
with her pitcher on her shoulder
; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her,
Let me drink, I pray thee
.
24:46
And she
made haste
, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said,
Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also
: so I drank, and she made the
camel
s drink also.
24:47
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said,
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
.
24:48
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed
the LORD God of my master
Abraham, which had led me in
the right way
to take my
master's brother's daughter
unto his son.
24:49
And now if ye will deal
kindly
and
truly
with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the
right
hand, or to the
left
.
24:50
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said,
The thing proceedeth from the LORD
: we cannot speak unto thee
bad or good
.
24:51
Behold
, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be
thy master's son's wife
, as
the LORD hath spoken
.
24:52

Abraham's servant
heard their words,
he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth
.
24:53
And the servant brought forth
jewels of silver
, and
jewels of gold
, and
raiment
, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother
precious things
.
24:54
And they did
eat and drink
, he and
the men that were with him
, and
tarried all night
; and they rose up in the morning, and he said,
Send me away unto my master
.
24:55
And
her brother and her mother
said,
Let the damsel abide with us a few days
, at the least
ten
; after that she shall go.
24:56
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
24:57
And they said,
We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth
.
24:58
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her,
Wilt thou go with this man?
And she said,
I will go
.
24:59
And they sent away Rebekah their
sister
, and her
nurse
, and
Abraham's servant, and his men
.
24:60
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her,
Thou art our sister
,
be thou the mother of thousands of millions
, and let thy seed
possess the gate of those which hate them
.
24:61

Rebekah arose, and her damsels
, and they rode upon the
camels
, and followed the man: and
the servant took Rebekah, and went his way
.

Isaac
came from the way of the well
Lahairoi
; for he dwelt in
the south country
.

meditate
in the field at the
eventide
: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and,
behold
,
the camels were coming
.
24:64

when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel
.
24:65
For she had said unto the servant,
What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us?
And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a
veil
, and covered herself.
24:66
And the servant told Isaac
all things that he had done
.
24:67
And Isaac brought her into his mother
Sarah
's tent, and took
Rebekah
, and she became his
wife
; and
he loved her
: and Isaac was
comforted after his mother's death
.
