¹⁴ And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.

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

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

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

¹² Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel's father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel's father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, afternoon, and they did eat both of them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And Ashur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Naarah bare him Ahuzam, and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair fair young virgins sought for the king:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And let the maiden which pleaseth pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased pleased the king; and he did so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And the maiden pleased pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve twelve months, according to the manner of the women, for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:
