43
behold, I stand by the fountain of water; let it come to pass, therefore,
that the virgin who comes forth to draw
water unto whom I say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
44
and if she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels,
let the same
be the woman whom the LORD has prepared for my master’s son.
45
And before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and she went down unto the fountain and drew
water, and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
46
And she made haste and let down her pitcher from her
shoulder and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also; so I drank, and she gave to drink unto the camels also.
47
And I asked her and said, Whose daughter
art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore unto him. Then I put the pendant over her nose and the bracelets upon her hands.
