²⁴ And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow follow me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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 made the camels drink also.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁷ And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁸ And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁹ And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵² And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵³ And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁴ And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁵ And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁶ And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁷ And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁸ And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁹ And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁰ And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶¹ And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶² And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶³ And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁴ And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁵ For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁶ And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁷ And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
