35 »Jehovah has greatly blessed my master and made him a rich man. He has given him flocks of sheep and goats, cattle, silver, gold, male and female slaves, camels, and donkeys.
36 »Sarah, my master’s wife, did not have any children until she was very old. Then she had a son, and my master has given him everything.
37 »I solemnly promised my master I would do what he said. He told me: ‘Do not choose a wife for my son from the women in this land of Canaan.
38 »‘Go back to the land where I was born and find a wife for my son from among my relatives.’
39 »I asked my master: ‘What if the young woman refuses to come with me?’
40 »He said to me: ‘Jehovah, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with you to make your journey successful. You will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house.
41 »‘If my relatives do not give her to you, then you will be free from my oath.’«
42 »I came to the spring today. I prayed to Jehovah: ‘God of my master Abraham, if now you will make my journey successful,
43 »‘make it be that the maiden who comes out to draw, and to whom I say, »Please let me drink a little water from your jar,«
44 »And she will say to me, »You drink, and I will draw for your camels also,« let her be the woman whom Jehovah has appointed for my master’s son.’
45 »Before I had finished speaking in my heart, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew, and I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
46 »She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels also’; so I drank, and she watered the camels also.
47 »Then I asked her: ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said: ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists.
48 »I bowed low and worshiped Jehovah, and praised Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham. He guided me in the right way to take the daughter of my master’s kinsman for his son.
49 »If you are going to deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, let me know, that I may turn to the right hand or the left.«
