9

So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

Then the servant took ten camels from the camels of his master, and set out with a variety of good things of his master's in his hand; and he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

11

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.

12

He said, "O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham.

13

"Behold, I am standing by the spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;

14

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."

15

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.
