âSo today when I came to the spring, I prayed this prayer: âO LORD, God of my master, Abraham, please give me success on this mission.

If she says, âYes, have a drink, and I will draw water for your camels, too,â let her be the one you have selected to be the wife of my masterâs son.â

âBefore I had finished praying in my heart, I saw Rebekah coming out with her water jug on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, âPlease give me a drink.â

She quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and said, âYes, have a drink, and I will water your camels, too!â So I drank, and then she watered the camels.
