Genesis 24 (kjv)

And Abraham^H85 was old^H2204, and well stricken^H935 in age^H3117: and the LORD^H3068 had blessed^H1288 Abraham^H85 in all things.²And Abraham^H85 said^H559 unto his eldest^H2205 servant^H5650 of his house^H1004, that ruled over^H4910 all that he had, Put^H7760, I pray thee, thy hand^H3027 under my thigh^H3409:³And I will make thee swear^H7650 by the LORD^H3068, the God^H430 of heaven^H8064, and the God^H430 of the earth^H776, that thou shalt not take^H3947 a wife^H802 unto my son^H1121 of the daughters^H1323 of the Canaanites^H3669, among^H7130 whom I dwell^H3427:⁴But thou shalt go^H3212 unto my country^H776, and to my kindred^H4138, and take^H3947 a wife^H802 unto my son^H1121 Isaac^H3327.⁵And the servant^H5650 said^H559 unto him, Peradventure the woman^H802 will not be willing^H14 to follow^H3212 me^H310 unto this land^H776: must I needs bring^H7725 thy son^H1121 again^H7725 unto the land^H776 from whence thou camest^H3318?⁶And Abraham^H85 said^H559 unto him, Beware^H8104 thou that thou bring^H7725 not^H6435 my son^H1121 thither again^H7725.⁷The LORD^H3068 God^H430 of heaven^H8064, which took me^H3947 from my father's^H1 house^H1004, and from the land^H776 of my kindred^H4138, and which spake^H1696 unto me, and that sware^H7650 unto me, saying^H559, Unto thy seed^H2233 will I give^H5414 this land^H776; he shall send^H7971 his angel^H4397 before thee^H6440, and thou shalt take^H3947 a wife^H802 unto my son^H1121 from thence.⁸And if the woman^H802 will not be willing^H14 to follow^H3212 thee^H310, then thou shalt be clear^H5352 from this my oath^H7621: only bring^H7725 not my son^H1121 thither again^H7725.⁹And the servant^H5650 put^H7760 his hand^H3027 under the thigh^H3409 of Abraham^H85 his master^H113, and sware^H7650 to him concerning^H5921 that^H2088 matter^H1697.

¹⁰And the servant^H5650 took^H3947 ten^H6235 camels^H1581 of the camels^H1581 of his master^H113, and departed^H3212; for all the goods^H2898 of his master^H113 were in his hand^H3027: and he arose^H6965, and went^H3212 to Mesopotamia^H763, unto the city^H5892 of Nahor^H5152.¹¹And he made^H1288 his camels^H1581 to kneel down^H1288 without^H2351 the city^H5892 by^H413 a well^H875 of water^H4325 at the time^H6256 of the evening^H6153, even the time^H6256 that women go out^H3318 to draw^H7579 water.

¹²And he said^H559, O LORD^H3068 God^H430 of my master^H113 Abraham^H85, I pray thee, send me^H6440 good speed^H7136 this day^H3117, and shew^H6213 kindness^H2617 unto^H5973 my master^H113 Abraham^H85.¹³Behold, I stand^H5324 here by the well^H5869 of water^H4325; and the daughters^H1323 of the men^H582 of the city^H5892 come out^H3318 to draw^H7579 water^H4325:

¹⁴And let it come to pass, that the damsel^H5291 to whom I shall say^H559, Let down^H5186 thy pitcher^H3537, I pray thee, that I may drink^H8354; and she shall say^H559, Drink^H8354, and I will give^H8248 thy camels^H1581 drink^H8248 also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed^H3198 for thy servant^H5650 Isaac^H3327; and thereby shall I know^H3045 that thou hast shewed^H6213 kindness^H2617 unto my master^H113.

¹⁵And it came to pass, before he had done^H3615 speaking^H1696, that, behold, Rebekah^H7259 came out^H3318, who^H834 was born^H3205 to Bethuel^H1328, son^H1121 of Milcah^H4435, the wife^H802 of Nahor^H5152, Abraham's^H85 brother^H251, with her pitcher^H3537 upon her shoulder^H7926.¹⁶And the damsel^H5291 was very^H3966 fair^H2896 to look upon^H4758, a virgin^H1330, neither had any man^H376 known^H3045 her: and she went down^H3381 to the well^H5869, and filled^H4390 her pitcher^H3537, and came up^H5927.¹⁷And the servant^H5650 ran^H7323 to meet her^H7125, and said^H559, Let me, I pray thee, drink^H1572 a little^H4592 water^H4325 of thy pitcher^H3537.

¹⁸And she said^H559, Drink^H8354, my lord^H113: and she hasted^H4116, and let down^H3381 her pitcher^H3537 upon her hand^H3027, and gave him drink^H8248.¹⁹And when she had done^H3615 giving him drink^H8248, she said^H559, I will draw^H7579 water for thy camels^H1581 also, until they have done^H3615 drinking^H8354.²⁰And she hasted^H4116, and emptied^H6168 her pitcher^H3537 into the trough^H8268, and ran^H7323 again unto the well^H875 to draw^H7579 water, and drew^H7579 for all his camels^H1581.²¹And the man^H376 wondering^H7583 at her held his peace^H2790, to wit^H3045 whether the LORD^H3068 had made^H6743 his journey^H1870 prosperous^H6743 or^H518 not.

²²And it came to pass, as the camels^H1581 had done^H3615 drinking^H8354, that the man^H376 took^H3947 a golden^H2091 earring^H5141 of half a shekel^H1235 weight^H4948, and two^H8147 bracelets^H6781 for her hands^H3027 of ten^H6235 shekels weight^H4948 of gold^H2091;

²³And said^H559, Whose^H4310 daughter^H1323 art thou^H859? tell^H5046 me, I pray thee: is there^H3426 room^H4725 in thy father's^H1 house^H1004 for us to lodge in^H3885?²⁴And she said^H559 unto him, I am the daughter^H1323 of Bethuel^H1328 the son^H1121 of Milcah^H4435, which she bare^H3205 unto Nahor^H5152.

²⁵She said^H559 moreover unto him, We have both^H1571 straw^H8401 and provender^H4554 enough^H7227, and^H1571 room^H4725 to lodge in^H3885.

²⁶And the man^H376 bowed down his head^H6915, and worshipped^H7812 the LORD^H3068.²⁷And he said^H559, Blessed^H1288 be the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of my master^H113 Abraham^H85, who hath not left destitute^{H5800 H5973} my master^H113 of his mercy^H2617 and his truth^H571: I being in the way^H1870, the LORD^H3068 led me^H5148 to the house^H1004 of my master's^H113 brethren^H251.²⁸And the damsel^H5291 ran^H7323, and told^H5046 them of her mother's^H517 house^H1004 these things^H1697.

²⁹And Rebekah^H7259 had a brother^H251, and his name^H8034 was Laban^H3837: and Laban^H3837 ran^H7323 out^H2351 unto the man^H376, unto the well^H5869.³⁰And it came to pass, when he saw^H7200 the earring^H5141 and bracelets^H6781 upon his sister's^H269 hands^H3027, and when he heard^H8085 the words^H1697 of Rebekah^H7259 his sister^H269, saying^H559, Thus^H3541 spake^H1696 the man^H376 unto me; that he came^H935 unto the man^H376; and, behold, he stood^H5975 by^H5921 the camels^H1581 at the well^H5869.³¹And he said^H559, Come in^H935, thou blessed^H1288 of the LORD^H3068; wherefore standest^H5975 thou without^H2351? for I have prepared^H6437 the house^H1004, and room^H4725 for the camels^H1581.³²And the man^H376 came^H935 into the house^H1004: and he ungirded^H6605 his camels^H1581, and gave^H5414 straw^H8401 and provender^H4554 for the camels^H1581, and water^H4325 to wash^H7364 his feet^H7272, and the men's^H582 feet^H7272 that were with him.³³And there was set^{H7760 H3455} meat before him^H6440 to eat^H398: but he said^H559, I will not eat^H398, until I have told^H1696 mine errand^H1697. And he said^H559, Speak on^H1696.

³⁴And he said^H559, I am Abraham's^H85 servant^H5650.³⁵And the LORD^H3068 hath blessed^H1288 my master^H113 greatly^H3966; and he is become great^H1431: and he hath given^H5414 him flocks^H6629, and herds^H1241, and silver^H3701, and gold^H2091, and menservants^H5650, and maidservants^H8198, and camels^H1581, and asses^H2543.³⁶And Sarah^H8283 my master's^H113 wife^H802 bare^H3205 a son^H1121 to my master^H113 when^H310 she was old^H2209: and unto him hath he given^H5414 all that he hath.³⁷And my master^H113 made me swear^H7650, saying^H559, Thou shalt not take^H3947 a wife^H802 to my son^H1121 of the daughters^H1323 of the Canaanites^H3669, in whose land^H776 I dwell^H3427:³⁸But^H518 thou shalt go^H3212 unto my father's^H1 house^H1004, and to my kindred^H4940, and take^H3947 a wife^H802 unto my son^H1121.³⁹And I said^H559 unto my master^H113, Peradventure the woman^H802 will not follow^{H3212 H310} me.⁴⁰And he said^H559 unto me, The LORD^H3068, before^H6440 whom I walk^H1980, will send^H7971 his angel^H4397 with thee, and prosper^H6743 thy way^H1870; and thou shalt take^H3947 a wife^H802 for my son^H1121 of my kindred^H4940, and of my father's^H1 house^H1004:⁴¹Then shalt thou be clear^H5352 from this my oath^H423, when thou comest^H935 to my kindred^H4940; and if they give^H5414 not thee one, thou shalt be clear^H5355 from my oath^H423.⁴²And I came^H935 this day^H3117 unto the well^H5869, and said^H559, O LORD^H3068 God^H430 of my master^H113 Abraham^H85, if now thou do^H3426 prosper^H6743 my way^H1870 which I go^H1980:⁴³Behold, I stand^H5324 by the well^H5869 of water^H4325; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin^H5959 cometh forth^H3318 to draw^H7579 water, and I say^H559 to her, Give me^H8248, I pray thee, a little^H4592 water^H4325 of thy pitcher^H3537 to drink^H8248;⁴⁴And she say^H559 to me, Both drink^H8354 thou, and I will also draw^H7579 for thy camels^H1581: let the same be the woman^H802 whom the LORD^H3068 hath appointed out^H3198 for my master's^H113 son^H1121.⁴⁵And before I had done^H3615 speaking^H1696 in mine heart^H3820, behold, Rebekah^H7259 came forth^H3318 with her pitcher^H3537 on her shoulder^H7926; and she went down^H3381 unto the well^H5869, and drew^H7579 water: and I said^H559 unto her, Let me drink^H8248, I pray thee.⁴⁶And she made haste^H4116, and let down^H3381 her pitcher^H3537 from her shoulder, and said^H559, Drink^H8354, and I will give^H8248 thy camels^H1581 drink^H8248 also: so I drank^H8354, and she made^H8248 the camels^H1581 drink^H8248 also.⁴⁷And I asked^H7592 her, and said^H559, Whose daughter^H1323 art thou? And she said^H559, The daughter^H1323 of Bethuel^H1328, Nahor's^H5152 son^H1121, whom Milcah^H4435 bare^H3205 unto him: and I put^H7760 the earring^H5141 upon her face^H639, and the bracelets^H6781 upon her hands^H3027.⁴⁸And I bowed down my head^H6915, and worshipped^H7812 the LORD^H3068, and blessed^H1288 the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of my master^H113 Abraham^H85, which had led me^H5148 in the right^H571 way^H1870 to take^H3947 my master's^H113 brother's^H251 daughter^H1323 unto his son^H1121.⁴⁹And now if ye will^H3426 deal^H6213 kindly^H2617 and truly^H571 with my master^H113, tell^H5046 me: and if not, tell^H5046 me; that I may turn^H6437 to the right hand^H3225, or^H176 to the left^H8040.

⁵⁰Then Laban^H3837 and Bethuel^H1328 answered^H6030 and said^H559, The thing^H1697 proceedeth^H3318 from the LORD^H3068: we cannot^H3201 speak^H1696 unto thee bad^H7451 or^H176 good^H2896.⁵¹Behold, Rebekah^H7259 is before thee^H6440, take^H3947 her, and go^H3212, and let her be thy master's^H113 son's^H1121 wife^H802, as the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696.⁵²And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's^H85 servant^H5650 heard^H8085 their words^H1697, he worshipped^H7812 the LORD^H3068, bowing himself to the earth^H776.⁵³And the servant^H5650 brought forth^H3318 jewels^H3627 of silver^H3701, and jewels^H3627 of gold^H2091, and raiment^H899, and gave^H5414 them to Rebekah^H7259: he gave^H5414 also to her brother^H251 and to her mother^H517 precious things^H4030.⁵⁴And they did eat^H398 and drink^H8354, he and the men^H582 that were with him, and tarried all night^H3885; and they rose up^H6965 in the morning^H1242, and he said^H559, Send me away^H7971 unto my master^H113.⁵⁵And her brother^H251 and her mother^H517 said^H559, Let the damsel^H5291 abide^H3427 with us a few days^H3117, at the least^H176 ten^H6218; after^H310 that she shall go^H3212.⁵⁶And he said^H559 unto them, Hinder me^H309 not, seeing the LORD^H3068 hath prospered^H6743 my way^H1870; send me away^H7971 that I may go^H3212 to my master^H113.⁵⁷And they said^H559, We will call^H7121 the damsel^H5291, and enquire^H7592 at her mouth^H6310.

⁵⁸And they called^H7121 Rebekah^H7259, and said^H559 unto her, Wilt thou go^H3212 with this man^H376? And she said^H559, I will go^H3212.⁵⁹And they sent away^H7971 Rebekah^H7259 their sister^H269, and her nurse^H3243, and Abraham's^H85 servant^H5650, and his men^H582.⁶⁰And they blessed^H1288 Rebekah^H7259, and said^H559 unto her, Thou^H859 art our sister^H269, be thou^H1961 the mother of thousands^H505 of millions^H7233, and let thy seed^H2233 possess^H3423 the gate^H8179 of those which hate^H8130 them.⁶¹And Rebekah^H7259 arose^H6965, and her damsels^H5291, and they rode^H7392 upon the camels^H1581, and followed^{H3212 H310} the man^H376: and the servant^H5650 took^H3947 Rebekah^H7259, and went his way^H3212.

⁶²And Isaac^H3327 came^H935 from the way^H935 of the well Lahairoi^H883; for he dwelt^H3427 in the south^H5045 country^H776.⁶³And Isaac^H3327 went out^H3318 to meditate^H7742 in the field^H7704 at^H6437 the eventide^H6153: and he lifted up^H5375 his eyes^H5869, and saw^H7200, and, behold, the camels^H1581 were coming^H935.⁶⁴And Rebekah^H7259 lifted up^H5375 her eyes^H5869, and when she saw^H7200 Isaac^H3327, she lighted^H5307 off^H5921 the camel^H1581.⁶⁵For she had said^H559 unto the servant^H5650, What^H4310 man^H376 is this^H1976 that walketh^H1980 in the field^H7704 to meet us^H7125? And the servant^H5650 had said^H559, It is my master^H113: therefore she took^H3947 a vail^H6809, and covered herself^H3680.⁶⁶And the servant^H5650 told^H5608 Isaac^H3327 all things^H1697 that he had done^H6213.⁶⁷And Isaac^H3327 brought her^H935 into his mother^H517 Sarah's^H8283 tent^H168, and took^H3947 Rebekah^H7259, and she became his wife^H802; and he loved^H157 her: and Isaac^H3327 was comforted^H5162 after^H310 his mother's^H517 death.
