Genesis 24:29 In-Context

27 dicens benedictus Dominus Deus domini mei Abraham qui non abstulit misericordiam et veritatem suam a domino meo et recto me itinere perduxit in domum fratris domini mei
28 cucurrit itaque puella et nuntiavit in domum matris suae omnia quae audierat
29 habebat autem Rebecca fratrem nomine Laban qui festinus egressus est ad hominem ubi erat fons
30 cumque vidisset inaures et armillas in manibus sororis suae et audisset cuncta verba referentis haec locutus est mihi homo venit ad virum qui stabat iuxta camelos et propter fontem aquae
31 dixitque ad eum ingredere benedicte Domini cur foris stas praeparavi domum et locum camelis
