1 And Abraham he was old he had come in days and Yahweh he had blessed Abraham in everything.
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 And he said Abraham to servant his old of household his who was ruling over all that [belonged] to him put please hand your under thigh my.
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh:
3 So I may make swear you by Yahweh [the] God of the heavens and [the] God of the earth that not you will take a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in midst its.
And I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 For to land my and to kindred my you will go and you will take a wife for son my for Isaac.
But you shall go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
5 And he said to him the servant perhaps not she will be willing the woman to go after me to the land this ¿ really will I take back son your to the land where you came out from there.
And the servant said unto him, Possibly the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I essentially bring your son again unto the land from whence you came?
6 And he said to him Abraham take heed to yourself lest you should take back son my there towards.
And Abraham said unto him, Beware you that you bring not my son thither again.
7 Yahweh - [the] God of the heavens who he took me from [the] household of father my and from [the] land of kindred my and who he spoke to me and who he swore an oath to me saying to offspring your I will give the land this he he will send angel his before you and you will take a wife for son my from there.
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spoke unto me, and that swore unto me, saying, Unto your seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife unto my son from thence.
8 And if not she will be willing the woman to go after you and you will be free from oath my this only son my not you must take back there towards.
And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
9 And he put the servant hand his under [the] thigh of Abraham master his and he swore an oath to him on the matter this.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
10 And he took the servant ten camels from [the] camels of master his and he went and every good thing of master his [was] in hand his and he arose and he went to Aram Naharaim to [the] city of Nahor.
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
11 And he made kneel the camels from [the] outside of the city to [the] well of the water to [the] time of evening to [the] time of [the] going out of the [women who] draw water.
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
12 And he said - O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham make happen please before me this day and do covenant loyalty with master my Abraham.
And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray you, send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.
13 Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and [the] daughters of [the] people of the city [are] coming out to draw water.
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
14 And it will be the young woman whom I will say to her bend down please jar your so I may drink and she will say drink and also camels your I will give a drink to her you have appointed for servant your for Isaac and by it I will know that you have done covenant loyalty with master my.
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let the same be she that you have appointed for your servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that you have showed kindness unto my master.
15 And it was he not yet he had finished to speak and there! Rebekah [was] coming out who she had been born to Bethuel [the] son of Milcah [the] wife of Nahor [the] brother of Abraham and jar her [was] on shoulder her.
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 And the young woman [was] good of appearance exceedingly a virgin and a man not he had known her and she went down the spring towards and she filled jar her and she came up.
And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 And he ran the servant to meet her and he said give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray you, drink a little water of your pitcher.
18 And she said drink O lord my and she hurried and she put down jar her on hand her and she gave a drink him.
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19 And she finished to give a drink him and she said also for camels your I will draw water until they have finished to drink.
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have done drinking.
20 And she hurried and she emptied jar her into the watering channel and she ran again to the well to draw water and she drew water for all camels his.
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the gutter, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 And the man [was] gazing to her being silent to know ¿ had he made successful Yahweh journey his or? not.
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 And it was just as they had finished the camels to drink and he took the man a ring of gold [was] a beka weight its and two bracelets on hands her [was] ten of gold weight their.
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;

And said, Whose daughter are you? tell me, I pray you: is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?

And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
25 And she said to him both straw as well as fodder much which [is] with us also room to stay [the] night.
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and animal food enough, and room to lodge in.
26 And he bowed low the man and he bowed down to Yahweh.
And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
27 And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who not he has left covenant loyalty his and faithfulness his from with master my I on the journey he has led me Yahweh [the] house of [the] relatives of master my.
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
28 And she ran the young woman and she told to [the] household of mother her according to the things these.
And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
29 And [belonged] to Rebekah a brother and name his [was] Laban and he ran Laban to the man the outside towards to the spring.
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
30 And it was - when saw the ring and the bracelets on [the] hands of sister his and just as heard he [the] words of Rebekah sister his saying thus he spoke to me the man and he went to the man and there! [he was] standing with the camels at the spring.
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
31 And he said come O [one] blessed of Yahweh why? are you standing on the outside and I I have made clear the house and a place for the camels.
And he said, Come in, you blessed of the LORD; wherefore stand you without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
32 And he went the man the house towards and he unharnessed the camels and he gave straw and fodder to the camels and water to wash feet his and [the] feet of the men who [were] with him.
And the man came into the house: and he unbounded his camels, and gave straw and animal food for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
33 (And it was put *QK) before him to eat and he said not I will eat until I have spoken words my and he said speak.
And there was set food before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 And he said [am] [the] servant of Abraham I.
And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
35 And Yahweh he has blessed master my exceedingly and he has become great and he has given to him sheep and cattle and silver and gold and [male] servants and female servants and camels and donkeys.
And the LORD has blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and male servants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

37 And he made swear an oath me master my saying not you must take a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in land its.
And my master made me swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 If not to [the] house of father my you will go and to family my and you will take a wife for son my.
But you shall go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
39 And I said to master my perhaps not she will go the woman after me.
And I said unto my master, Possibly the woman will not follow me.
40 And he said to me Yahweh whom I have walked about before him he will send angel his with you and he will make successful journey your and you will take a wife for son my from family my and from [the] household of father my.
And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
41 Then you will be free from oath my for you will go to family my and if not they will give [her] to you and you will be free from oath my.
Then shall you be clear from this my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they give not you one, you shall be clear from my oath.
42 And I came this day to the spring and I said O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham if [are] there you please [are] making successful journey my which I [am] going on it.
And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go:
43 Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and it will be the young woman who will come out to draw water and I will say to her give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water of your pitcher to drink;
44 And she will say to me both you drink and also for camels your I will draw water she [be] the woman whom he has appointed Yahweh for [the] son of master my.
And she say to me, Both drink you, and I will also draw for your camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD has appointed out for my master's son.
45 I not yet I had finished to speak to heart my and there! Rebekah [was] coming out and jar her [was] on shoulder her and she went down the spring towards and she drew water and I said to her give a drink me please.
And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray you.
46 And she hurried and she put down jar her from on her and she said drink and also camels your I will give a drink to and I drank and also the camels she gave a drink.
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
47 And I asked her and I said daughter of whom? [are] you and she said [the] daughter of Bethuel [the] son of Nahor whom she bore to him Milcah and I put the ring on nose her and the bracelets on hands her.
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
48 And I bowed low and I bowed down to Yahweh and I blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who he had led me in [the] way of truth to take [the] daughter of [the] brother of master my for son his.
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
49 And now if [are] there you doing loyalty and faithfulness with master my tell to me and if not tell to me so I may turn to right or to left.
And now if all of you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
50 And he answered Laban and Bethuel and they said from Yahweh it has come out the matter not we are able to speak to you evil or good.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from the LORD: we cannot speak unto you bad or good.
51 Here! Rebekah [is] before you take [her] and go so may she be a wife for [the] son of master your just as he has spoken Yahweh.
Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her, and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the LORD has spoken.
52 And it was just as he heard [the] servant of Abraham words their and he bowed down [the] ground towards to Yahweh.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
53 And he brought out the servant articles of silver and articles of gold and garments and he gave [them] to Rebekah and precious gifts he gave to brother her and to mother her.

And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
55 And he said brother her and mother her let her remain the young woman with us days or ten (after *LS) she will go.
And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
56 And he said to them may not you delay me and Yahweh he has made successful journey my send away me so let me go to master my.
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57 And they said let us summon the young woman and let us ask mouth her.
And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
58 And they summoned Rebekah and they said to her ¿ will you go with the man this and she said I will go.
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.
59 And they sent away Rebekah sister their and nurse her and [the] servant of Abraham and men his.
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 And they blessed Rebekah and they said to her O sister our you become thousands of ten thousand so may it take possession of offspring your [the] gate of [those who] hate it.
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, You are our sister, be you the mother of thousands of millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
