24:1 And Abraham 85 was old 2204 8804, [and] well stricken 935 8804 in age 3117: and the LORD 3068 had blessed 1288 8765 Abraham 85 in all things.(well…: Heb. gone into days)

24:2 And Abraham 85 said 559 8799 unto his eldest 2205 servant 5650 of his house 1004, that ruled over 4910 8802 all that he had, Put 7760 8798, I pray thee, thy hand 3027 under my thigh 3409:

24:3 And I will make thee swear 7650 8686 by the LORD 3068, the God 430 of heaven 8064, and the God 430 of the earth 776, that thou shalt not take 3947 8799 a wife 802 unto my son 1121 of the daughters 1323 of the Canaanites 3669, among 7130 whom I dwell 3427 8802:

24:4 But thou shalt go 3212 8799 unto my country 776, and to my kindred 4138, and take 3947 8804 a wife 802 unto my son 1121 Isaac 3327.

24:5 And the servant 5650 said 559 8799 unto him, Peradventure the woman 802 will not be willing 14 8799 to follow 3212 8800 me 310 unto this land 776: must I needs bring 7725 8687 thy son 1121 again 7725 8686 unto the land 776 from whence thou camest 3318 8804?

24:6 And Abraham 85 said 559 8799 unto him, Beware 8104 8734 thou that thou bring 7725 0 not 6435 my son 1121 thither again 7725 8686.

24:7 The LORD 3068 God 430 of heaven 8064, which took me 3947 8804 from my father's 1 house 1004, and from the land 776 of my kindred 4138, and which spake 1696 8765 unto me, and that sware 7650 8738 unto me, saying 559 8800, Unto thy seed 2233 will I give 5414 8799 this land 776; he shall send 7971 8799 his angel 4397 before thee 6440, and thou shalt take 3947 8804 a wife 802 unto my son 1121 from thence.

24:8 And if the woman 802 will not be willing 14 8799 to follow 3212 8800 thee 310, then thou shalt be clear 5352 8738 from this my oath 7621: only bring 7725 0 not my son 1121 thither again 7725 8686.

24:9 And the servant 5650 put 7760 8799 his hand 3027 under the thigh 3409 of Abraham 85 his master 113, and sware 7650 8735 to him concerning 5921 that 2088 matter 1697.

24:10 And the servant 5650 took 3947 8799 ten 6235 camels 1581 of the camels 1581 of his master 113, and departed 3212 8799; for all the goods 2898 of his master 113 [were] in his hand 3027: and he arose 6965 8799, and went 3212 8799 to Mesopotamia 763, unto the city 5892 of Nahor 5152.(for: or, and)

24:11 And he made 1288 0 his camels 1581 to kneel down 1288 8686 without 2351 the city 5892 by 413 a well 875 of water 4325 at the time 6256 of the evening 6153, [even] the time 6256 that women go out 3318 8800 to draw 7579 8802 [water].(that…: Heb. that women who draw water go forth)

24:12 And he said 559 8799, O LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham 85, I pray thee, send me 6440 good speed 7136 8685 this day 3117, and shew 6213 8798 kindness 2617 unto 5973 my master 113 Abraham 85.

24:13 Behold, I stand 5324 8737 [here] by the well 5869 of water 4325; and the daughters 1323 of the men 582 of the city 5892 come out 3318 8802 to draw 7579 8800 water 4325:

24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel 5291 to whom I shall say 559 8799, Let down 5186 8685 thy pitcher 3537, I pray thee, that I may drink 8354 8799; and she shall say 559 8804, Drink 8354 8798, and I will give 8248 0 thy camels 1581 drink 8248 8686 also: [let the same be] she [that] thou hast appointed 3198 8689 for thy servant 5650 Isaac 3327; and thereby shall I know 3045 8799 that thou hast shewed 6213 8804 kindness 2617 unto my master 113.

24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done 3615 8765 speaking 1696 8763, that, behold, Rebekah 7259 came out 3318 8802, who 834 was born 3205 8795 to Bethuel 1328, son 1121 of Milcah 4435, the wife 802 of Nahor 5152, Abraham's 85 brother 251, with her pitcher 3537 upon her shoulder 7926.

24:16 And the damsel 5291 [was] very 3966 fair 2896 to look upon 4758, a virgin 1330, neither had any man 376 known 3045 8804 her: and she went down 3381 8799 to the well 5869, and filled 4390 8762 her pitcher 3537, and came up 5927 8799.(very…: Heb. good of countenance)

24:17 And the servant 5650 ran 7323 8799 to meet her 7125 8800, and said 559 8799, Let me, I pray thee, drink 1572 8685 a little 4592 water 4325 of thy pitcher 3537.

24:18 And she said 559 8799, Drink 8354 8798, my lord 113: and she hasted 4116 8762, and let down 3381 8686 her pitcher 3537 upon her hand 3027, and gave him drink 8248 8686.

24:19 And when she had done 3615 8762 giving him drink 8248 8687, she said 559 8799, I will draw 7579 8799 [water] for thy camels 1581 also, until they have done 3615 8765 drinking 8354 8800.

24:20 And she hasted 4116 8762, and emptied 6168 8762 her pitcher 3537 into the trough 8268, and ran 7323 8799 again unto the well 875 to draw 7579 8800 [water], and drew 7579 8799 for all his camels 1581.

24:21 And the man 376 wondering 7583 8693 at her held his peace 2790 8688, to wit 3045 8800 whether the LORD 3068 had made 6743 0 his journey 1870 prosperous 6743 8689 or 518 not.

24:22 And it came to pass, as the camels 1581 had done 3615 8765 drinking 8354 8800, that the man 376 took 3947 8799 a golden 2091 earring 5141 of half a shekel 1235 weight 4948, and two 8147 bracelets 6781 for her hands 3027 of ten 6235 [shekels] weight 4948 of gold 2091;(earring: or, jewel for the forehead)

24:23 And said 559 8799, Whose 4310 daughter 1323 [art] thou 859? tell 5046 8685 me, I pray thee: is there 3426 room 4725 [in] thy father's 1 house 1004 for us to lodge in 3885 8800?

24:24 And she said 559 8799 unto him, I [am] the daughter 1323 of Bethuel 1328 the son 1121 of Milcah 4435, which she bare 3205 8804 unto Nahor 5152.

24:25 She said 559 8799 moreover unto him, We have both 1571 straw 8401 and provender 4554 enough 7227, and 1571 room 4725 to lodge in 3885 8800.

24:26 And the man 376 bowed down his head 6915 8799, and worshipped 7812 8691 the LORD 3068.

24:27 And he said 559 8799, Blessed 1288 8803 [be] the LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham 85, who hath not left destitute 5800 8804 5973 my master 113 of his mercy 2617 and his truth 571: I [being] in the way 1870, the LORD 3068 led me 5148 8804 to the house 1004 of my master's 113 brethren 251.

24:28 And the damsel 5291 ran 7323 8799, and told 5046 8686 [them of] her mother's 517 house 1004 these things 1697.

24:29 And Rebekah 7259 had a brother 251, and his name 8034 [was] Laban 3837: and Laban 3837 ran 7323 8799 out 2351 unto the man 376, unto the well 5869.

24:30 And it came to pass, when he saw 7200 8800 the earring 5141 and bracelets 6781 upon his sister's 269 hands 3027, and when he heard 8085 8800 the words 1697 of Rebekah 7259 his sister 269, saying 559 8800, Thus 3541 spake 1696 8765 the man 376 unto me; that he came 935 8799 unto the man 376; and, behold, he stood 5975 8802 by 5921 the camels 1581 at the well 5869.

24:31 And he said 559 8799, Come in 935 8798, thou blessed 1288 8803 of the LORD 3068; wherefore standest 5975 8799 thou without 2351? for I have prepared 6437 8765 the house 1004, and room 4725 for the camels 1581.

24:32 And the man 376 came 935 8799 into the house 1004: and he ungirded 6605 8762 his camels 1581, and gave 5414 8799 straw 8401 and provender 4554 for the camels 1581, and water 4325 to wash 7364 8800 his feet 7272, and the men's 582 feet 7272 that [were] with him.

24:33 And there was set 7760 8714 8675 3455 8799 [meat] before him 6440 to eat 398 8800: but he said 559 8799, I will not eat 398 8799, until I have told 1696 8765 mine errand 1697. And he said 559 8799, Speak on 1696 8761.

24:34 And he said 559 8799, I [am] Abraham's 85 servant 5650.

24:35 And the LORD 3068 hath blessed 1288 8765 my master 113 greatly 3966; and he is become great 1431 8799: and he hath given 5414 8799 him flocks 6629, and herds 1241, and silver 3701, and gold 2091, and menservants 5650, and maidservants 8198, and camels 1581, and asses 2543.

24:36 And Sarah 8283 my master's 113 wife 802 bare 3205 8799 a son 1121 to my master 113 when 310 she was old 2209: and unto him hath he given 5414 8799 all that he hath.

24:37 And my master 113 made me swear 7650 8686, saying 559 8800, Thou shalt not take 3947 8799 a wife 802 to my son 1121 of the daughters 1323 of the Canaanites 3669, in whose land 776 I dwell 3427 8802:

24:38 But 518 thou shalt go 3212 8799 unto my father's 1 house 1004, and to my kindred 4940, and take 3947 8804 a wife 802 unto my son 1121.

24:39 And I said 559 8799 unto my master 113, Peradventure the woman 802 will not follow 3212 8799 310 me.

24:40 And he said 559 8799 unto me, The LORD 3068, before 6440 whom I walk 1980 8694, will send 7971 8799 his angel 4397 with thee, and prosper 6743 8689 thy way 1870; and thou shalt take 3947 8804 a wife 802 for my son 1121 of my kindred 4940, and of my father's 1 house 1004:

24:41 Then shalt thou be clear 5352 8735 from [this] my oath 423, when thou comest 935 8799 to my kindred 4940; and if they give 5414 8799 not thee [one], thou shalt be clear 5355 from my oath 423.

24:42 And I came 935 8799 this day 3117 unto the well 5869, and said 559 8799, O LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham 85, if now thou do 3426 prosper 6743 8688 my way 1870 which I go 1980 8802:

24:43 Behold, I stand 5324 8737 by the well 5869 of water 4325; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin 5959 cometh forth 3318 8802 to draw 7579 8800 [water], and I say 559 8804 to her, Give me 8248 0, I pray thee, a little 4592 water 4325 of thy pitcher 3537 to drink 8248 8685;

24:44 And she say 559 8804 to me, Both drink 8354 8798 thou, and I will also draw 7579 8799 for thy camels 1581: [let] the same [be] the woman 802 whom the LORD 3068 hath appointed out 3198 8689 for my master's 113 son 1121.

24:45 And before I had done 3615 8762 speaking 1696 8763 in mine heart 3820, behold, Rebekah 7259 came forth 3318 8802 with her pitcher 3537 on her shoulder 7926; and she went down 3381 8799 unto the well 5869, and drew 7579 8799 [water]: and I said 559 8799 unto her, Let me drink 8248 8685, I pray thee.

24:46 And she made haste 4116 8762, and let down 3381 8686 her pitcher 3537 from her [shoulder], and said 559 8799, Drink 8354 8798, and I will give 8248 0 thy camels 1581 drink 8248 8686 also: so I drank 8354 8799, and she made 8248 0 the camels 1581 drink 8248 8689 also.

24:47 And I asked 7592 8799 her, and said 559 8799, Whose daughter 1323 [art] thou? And she said 559 8799, The daughter 1323 of Bethuel 1328, Nahor's 5152 son 1121, whom Milcah 4435 bare 3205 8804 unto him: and I put 7760 8799 the earring 5141 upon her face 639, and the bracelets 6781 upon her hands 3027.

24:48 And I bowed down my head 6915 8799, and worshipped 7812 8691 the LORD 3068, and blessed 1288 8762 the LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham 85, which had led me 5148 8689 in the right 571 way 1870 to take 3947 8800 my master's 113 brother's 251 daughter 1323 unto his son 1121.

24:49 And now if ye will 3426 deal 6213 8802 kindly 2617 and truly 571 with my master 113, tell 5046 8685 me: and if not, tell 5046 8685 me; that I may turn 6437 8799 to the right hand 3225, or 176 to the left 8040.

24:50 Then Laban 3837 and Bethuel 1328 answered 6030 8799 and said 559 8799, The thing 1697 proceedeth 3318 8804 from the LORD 3068: we cannot 3201 8799 speak 1696 8763 unto thee bad 7451 or 176 good 2896.

24:51 Behold, Rebekah 7259 [is] before thee 6440, take 3947 8798 [her], and go 3212 8798, and let her be thy master's 113 son's 1121 wife 802, as the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 8765.

24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's 85 servant 5650 heard 8085 8804 their words 1697, he worshipped 7812 8691 the LORD 3068, [bowing himself] to the earth 776.

24:53 And the servant 5650 brought forth 3318 8686 jewels 3627 of silver 3701, and jewels 3627 of gold 2091, and raiment 899, and gave 5414 8799 [them] to Rebekah 7259: he gave 5414 8804 also to her brother 251 and to her mother 517 precious things 4030.(jewels: Heb. vessels)

24:54 And they did eat 398 8799 and drink 8354 8799, he and the men 582 that [were] with him, and tarried all night 3885 8799; and they rose up 6965 8799 in the morning 1242, and he said 559 8799, Send me away 7971 8761 unto my master 113.

24:55 And her brother 251 and her mother 517 said 559 8799, Let the damsel 5291 abide 3427 8799 with us [a few] days 3117, at the least 176 ten 6218; after 310 that she shall go 3212 8799.(a few…: or, a full year, or ten months)

24:56 And he said 559 8799 unto them, Hinder me 309 8762 not, seeing the LORD 3068 hath prospered 6743 8689 my way 1870; send me away 7971 8761 that I may go 3212 8799 to my master 113.

24:57 And they said 559 8799, We will call 7121 8799 the damsel 5291, and enquire 7592 8799 at her mouth 6310.

24:58 And they called 7121 8799 Rebekah 7259, and said 559 8799 unto her, Wilt thou go 3212 8799 with this man 376? And she said 559 8799, I will go 3212 8799.

24:59 And they sent away 7971 8762 Rebekah 7259 their sister 269, and her nurse 3243 8688, and Abraham's 85 servant 5650, and his men 582.

24:60 And they blessed 1288 8762 Rebekah 7259, and said 559 8799 unto her, Thou 859 [art] our sister 269, be thou 1961 8798 [the mother] of thousands 505 of millions 7233, and let thy seed 2233 possess 3423 8799 the gate 8179 of those which hate 8130 8802 them.

24:61 And Rebekah 7259 arose 6965 8799, and her damsels 5291, and they rode 7392 8799 upon the camels 1581, and followed 3212 8799 310 the man 376: and the servant 5650 took 3947 8799 Rebekah 7259, and went his way 3212 8799.

24:62 And Isaac 3327 came 935 8804 from the way 935 8800 of the well Lahairoi 883; for he dwelt 3427 8802 in the south 5045 country 776.

24:63 And Isaac 3327 went out 3318 8799 to meditate 7742 8800 in the field 7704 at 6437 8800 the eventide 6153: and he lifted up 5375 8799 his eyes 5869, and saw 7200 8799, and, behold, the camels 1581 [were] coming 935 8802.(to meditate: or, to pray)

24:64 And Rebekah 7259 lifted up 5375 8799 her eyes 5869, and when she saw 7200 8799 Isaac 3327, she lighted 5307 8799 off 5921 the camel 1581.

24:65 For she [had] said 559 8799 unto the servant 5650, What 4310 man 376 [is] this 1976 that walketh 1980 8802 in the field 7704 to meet us 7125 8800? And the servant 5650 [had] said 559 8799, It [is] my master 113: therefore she took 3947 8799 a vail 6809, and covered herself 3680 8691.

24:66 And the servant 5650 told 5608 8762 Isaac 3327 all things 1697 that he had done 6213 8804.

24:67 And Isaac 3327 brought her 935 8686 into his mother 517 Sarah's 8283 tent 168, and took 3947 8799 Rebekah 7259, and she became his wife 802; and he loved 157 8799 her: and Isaac 3327 was comforted 5162 8735 after 310 his mother's 517 [death].
