- 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.
- And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
- Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
- And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
- 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.

- He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water.
- He said, "O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham.
- "Behold, I am standing by the spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;
- now may it be that the girl to whom I say, 'Please let down your jar so that I may drink,' and who answers, 'Drink, and I will water your camels also'--may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown lovingkindness to my master."
- Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.
