Chapter 24 abraham was now very old and the lord had blessed him in every way he said to the senior servant in his household the one in charge of all that he had put your hand under my thigh i want you to swear by the lord the god of heaven And the god of earth that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the canaanites among whom i am living but will go to my country in my own relatives and get a wife for my son isaac the servant asked him what if the woman Is unwilling to come back with me to this land shall i then take your son back to the country you came from make sure that you do not take my son back there abraham said the lord the god of heaven who brought me out of my father’s household And my native land and who spoke to me and promised me on oath saying to your offspring i will give this land he will send his angel before you so that you can get a wife from my son from there if the woman is unwilling to come back with you Then you will be released from this oath of mine only do not take my son back there so the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter then the servant left taking with him ten of his master’s camels loaded with All kinds of good things from his master he set out for aram naharam and made his way to the town of nehor he had the camels kneel down near the well outside the town it was toward evening the time the women go out to draw water then he prayed lord God of my master abraham make me successful today and show kindness to my master abraham see i am standing beside

water your camels too let her be the one you have chosen for your servant isaac by this i will know that you have shown kindness to my master before he had finished praying rebecca came out with her jar on her shoulder She was the daughter of bethuel son of milka who was the wife of abraham’s brother nehor the woman was very beautiful a virgin no man had ever slept with her she went down to the spring filled her jar and came up again the servant hurried to meet her and said Please give me a little water from your jar drink my lord she said and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink after she had given him a drink she said i’ll draw water for your camels too until they have had enough to drink so She quickly emptied her jar into the trough ran back to the well to draw more water and drew enough for all his camels without saying a word the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the lord had made his journey successful when the camels had finished drinking The man took out a gold nose ring weighing a becca and two gold bracelets weighing 10 shekels then he asked whose daughter are you please tell me is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night she answered him i am the daughter of bethul The son that milka bore to nehor and she added we have plenty of straw and fodder as well as room for you to spend the night then the man bowed down and worshipped the lord saying praise be to the lord the god of my master abraham who has not Abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master as for me the lord has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives the young woman ran and told her mother’s household about these things now rebecca had a brother named laban and he hurried out to the man at the spring As soon as he had seen the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister’s arms and it heard rebecca tell what the man said to her he went out to the man and found him standing by the camels near the spring come you

brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothing and gave them to rebecca he also gave costly gifts to her brother and to her mother then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night there when they got up the next morning he Said send me on my way to my master but her brother and her mother replied let the young woman remain with us 10 days or so then you may go
