MLV(i)
35 And Jehovah has blessed my master greatly and he has become great. And he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold and men-servants and maid-servants and camels and donkeys.
36 And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old. And to him he has he given all that he has.
37 And my master made me swear, saying, You will not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell, 38 but you will go to my father's house and to my kindred and take a wife for my son.
39 And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me.
40 And he said to me, Jehovah, before whom I walk, will send his messenger with you and prosper your way. And you will take a wife for my son of my kindred and of my father's house. 41 Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my kindred. And if they do not give her to you, you will be clear from my oath.
42 And I came this day to the fountain and said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, I pray, if you will, prosper the way on which I am now going, 43 behold, I am standing by the fountain of water and let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, I beseech you, give me a little water from your pitcher to drink, 44 and she will say to me, Both drink you and I will also draw for your camels, let her be the woman whom Jehovah has appointed for my master's son.
45 And before I was done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. And she went down to the fountain and drew. And I said to her, Let me drink, I beseech you. 46 And she made haste and let down her pitcher from her shoulder and said, Drink and I will also give your camels drink. So I drank and she also made the camels drink.
47 And I asked her and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring upon her nose and the bracelets upon her hands. 48 And I bowed my head and worshiped Jehovah and blessed Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son. 49 And now if you* 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.
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah; we cannot speak to you bad or good. 51 Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her and go and let her be your master's son's wife, as Jehovah has spoken.
52 And it happened, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Jehovah. 53 And the servant brought out jewels of silver and jewels of gold and garments and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother. 54 And they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him and stayed all night. And they rose up in the morning and he said, Send me away to my master.
55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us a few days, for at the least ten. After that she will go.
56 And he said to them, Do not hinder me, since Jehovah has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master. 57 And they said, We will call the maiden and inquire at her mouth. 58 And they called Rebekah and said to her, Will you go with this man?
And she said, I will go.
59 And they sent Rebekah their sister away and her nurse and Abraham's servant and his men. 60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, Our sister, you will be the mother of thousands of ten thousands and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them. 61 And Rebekah arose and her maidens and they rode upon the camels and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah and went his way.
62 And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi, and he dwelt in the land of the South. 63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, there were camels coming. 64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes and when she saw Isaac, she fell from the camel. 65 And she said to the servant, What man is this who walks in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master. And she took her veil and covered herself.
66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. 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.
37 And my master made me swear, saying, You will not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell, 38 but you will go to my father's house and to my kindred and take a wife for my son.
39 And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me.
40 And he said to me, Jehovah, before whom I walk, will send his messenger with you and prosper your way. And you will take a wife for my son of my kindred and of my father's house. 41 Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my kindred. And if they do not give her to you, you will be clear from my oath.
