24:10 Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed with all kinds of gifts from his master at his disposal. ¹  He journeyed ²  to the region of Aram Naharaim ³  and the city of Nahor. 24:11 He made the camels kneel down by the well ⁴  outside the city. It was evening, ⁵  the time when the women would go out to draw water. 24:12 He prayed, “O Lord, God of my master Abraham, guide me today. ⁶  Be faithful ⁷  to my master Abraham. 24:13 Here I am, standing by the spring, ⁸  and the daughters of the people ⁹  who live in the town are coming out to draw water. 24:14 I will say to a young woman, ‘Please lower your jar so I may drink.’ May the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac reply, ‘Drink, and I’ll give your camels water too.’ ¹⁰  In this way I will know that you have been faithful to my master.” ¹¹ 

24:15 Before he had finished praying, there came Rebekah ¹²  with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah (Milcah was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor). ¹³  24:16 Now the young woman was very beautiful. She was a virgin; no man had ever had sexual relations with her. ¹⁴  She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came back up. 24:17 Abraham’s servant ¹⁵  ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a sip of water from your jug.” 24:18 “Drink, my lord,” she replied, and quickly lowering ¹⁶  her jug to her hands, she gave him a drink. 24:19 When she had done so, ¹⁷  she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have drunk as much as they want.” 24:20 She quickly emptied ¹⁸  her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw more water until she had drawn enough for all his camels. 24:21 Silently the man watched her with interest to determine ¹⁹  if the Lord had made his journey successful ²⁰  or not.
