1
H85
And Abraham
H2204 [H8804]
was old,
H935 [H8804]
and well advanced
H3117
in years:
H3068
and the LORD
H1288 [H8765]
had blessed
H85
Abraham in all things.
2
H85
And Abraham
H559 [H8799]
said
H2205
to his eldest
H5650
servant
H1004
of his house,
H4910 [H8802]
that ruled over
H7760 [H8798]
all that he had, Put,
H3027
I pray thee, thine hand
H3409
under my thigh:
3
H7650 [H8686]
And I will make thee swear
H3068
by the LORD,
H430
the God
H8064
of heaven,
H430
and the God
H776
of the earth,
H3947 [H8799]
that thou shalt not take
H802
a wife
H1121
for my son
H1323
of the daughters
H3669
of the Canaanites,
H7130
among
H3427 [H8802]
whom I dwell:
4
H3212 [H8799]
But thou shalt go
H776
to my land,
H4138
and to my kindred,
H3947 [H8804]
and take
H802
a wife
H1121
for my son
H3327
Isaac.
5
H5650
And the servant
H559 [H8799]
said
H802
to him, It may be the woman
H14 [H8799]
will not be willing
H3212 [H8800]
to follow
H310
me
H776
to this land:
H7725 [H8687]
must I needs bring
H1121
thy son
H7725 [H8686]
again
H776
to the land
H3318 [H8804]
from which you came?
6
H85
And Abraham
H559 [H8799]
said
H8104 [H8734]
to him, Beware
H7725 0
that thou bring
H6435
not
H1121
my son
H7725 [H8686]
there again.
7
H3068
The LORD
H430
God
H8064
of heaven,
H3947 [H8804]
who took me
H1
from my father's
H1004
house,
H776
and from the land
H4138
of my kindred,
H1696 [H8765]
and who spoke
H7650 [H8738]
to me, and who swore
H559 [H8800]
to me, saying,
H2233
To thy seed
H5414 [H8799]
will I give
H776
this land;
H7971 [H8799]
he shall send
H4397
his messenger
H6440
before thee,
H3947 [H8804]
and thou shalt take
H802
a wife
H1121
for my son from there.
8
H802
And if the woman
H14 [H8799]
will not be willing
H3212 [H8800]
to follow
H310
thee,
H5352 [H8738]
then thou shalt be clear
H7621
from this my oath:
H7725 0
only bring
H1121
not my son
H7725 [H8686]
there again.
9
H5650
And the servant
H7760 [H8799]
put
H3027
his hand
H3409
under the thigh
H85
of Abraham
H113
his master,
H7650 [H8735]
and swore
H5921
to him concerning
H2088
that
H1697
matter.
10
H5650
And the servant
H3947 [H8799]
took
H6235
ten
H1581
camels
H1581
of the camels
H113
of his master,
H3212 [H8799]
and departed;
H2898
for all the goods
H113
of his master
H3027
were in his hands:
H6965 [H8799]
and he arose,
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H763
to Mesopotamia,
H5892
to the city
H5152
of Nahor.
11
H1288 0
And he made
H1581
his camels
H1288 [H8686]
to kneel down
H2351
outside
H5892
the city
H413
by
H875
a well
H4325
of water
H6256
at the time
H6153
of the evening,
H6256
the time
H3318 [H8800]
when women go out
H7579 [H8802]
to draw water.
12
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H3068
O LORD
H430
God
H113
of my master
H85
Abraham,
H7136 [H8685]
I pray thee, prosper
H6440
me
H3117
this day,
H6213 [H8798]
and show
H2617
mercy
H5973
to
H113
my master
H85
Abraham.
13
H5324 [H8737]
Behold, I stand
H5869
here by the well
H4325
of water;
H1323
and the daughters
H582
of the men
H5892
of the city
H3318 [H8802]
come out
H7579 [H8800]
to draw
H4325
water:
14
H5291
And let it come to pass, that the damsel
H559 [H8799]
to whom I shall say,
H5186 [H8685]
Let down
H3537
thy pitcher,
H8354 [H8799]
I pray thee, that I may drink;
H559 [H8804]
and she shall say,
H8354 [H8798]
Drink,
H8248 [H8686]
and I will water
H1581
thy camels
H3198 [H8689]
also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed
H5650
for thy servant
H3327
Isaac;
H3045 [H8799]
and by that shall I know
H6213 [H8804]
that thou hast shown
H2617
mercy
H113
to my master.
15
H3615 [H8765]
And it came to pass, before he had finished
H1696 [H8763]
speaking,
H7259
that, behold, Rebekah
H3318 [H8802]
came out,
H834
who
H3205 [H8795]
was born
H1328
to Bethuel,
H1121
son
H4435
of Milcah,
H802
the wife
H5152
of Nahor,
H85
Abraham's
H251
brother,
H3537
with her pitcher
H7926
upon her shoulder.
16
H5291
And the damsel
H3966
was very
H2896
fair
H4758
to look upon,
H1330
a virgin,
H376
neither had any man
H3045 [H8804]
known
H3381 [H8799]
her: and she went down
H5869
to the well,
H4390 [H8762]
and filled
H3537
her pitcher,
H5927 [H8799]
and came up.
17
H5650
And the servant
H7323 [H8799]
ran
H7125 [H8800]
to meet her,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H1572 [H8685]
Let me, I pray thee, drink
H4592
a little
H4325
water
H3537
from thy pitcher.
18
H559 [H8799]
And she said,
H8354 [H8798]
Drink,
H113
my sovereign:
H4116 [H8762]
and she hasted,
H3381 [H8686]
and let down
H3537
her pitcher
H3027
upon her hand,
H8248 [H8686]
and gave him a drink.
19
H3615 [H8762]
And when she had finished
H8248 [H8687]
giving him drink,
H559 [H8799]
she said,
H7579 [H8799]
I will draw
H1581
water for thy camels
H3615 [H8765]
also, till they have finished
H8354 [H8800]
drinking.
20
H4116 [H8762]
And she hasted,
H6168 [H8762]
and emptied
H3537
her pitcher
H8268
into the trough,
H7323 [H8799]
and ran
H875
again to the well
H7579 [H8800]
to draw
H7579 [H8799]
water, and drew
H1581
for all his camels.
21
H376
And the man
H7583 [H8693]
wondering
H2790 [H8688]
at her held his peace,
H3045 [H8800]
to know
H3068
whether the LORD
H6743 0
had made
H1870
his journey
H6743 [H8689]
prosperous
H518
or not.
22
H1581
And it came to pass, as the camels
H3615 [H8765]
had finished
H8354 [H8800]
drinking,
H376
that the man
H3947 [H8799]
took
H2091
a golden
H5141
earring
H1235
of half a shekel
H4948
weight,
H8147
and two
H6781
bracelets
H3027
for her wrists
H6235
of ten
H4948
shekels weight
H2091
of gold;
23
H559 [H8799]
And said,
H4310
Whose
H1323
daughter
H859
art thou?
H5046 [H8685]
tell
H3426
me, I pray thee: is there
H4725
room
H1
in thy father's
H1004
house
H3885 [H8800]
for us to lodge in?
24
H559 [H8799]
And she said
H1323
to him, I am the daughter
H1328
of Bethuel
H1121
the son
H4435
of Milcah,
H3205 [H8804]
whom she bore
H5152
to Nahor.
25
H559 [H8799]
She said
H1571
moreover to him, We have both
H8401
straw
H4554
and feed
H7227
enough,
H1571
and
H4725
room
H3885 [H8800]
to lodge in.
27
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H1288 [H8803]
Blessed
H3068
be the LORD
H430
God
H113
of my master
H85
Abraham,
H113
who hath not left my master
H5800 H5973 [H8804]
destitute
H2617
of his mercy
H571
and his truth:
H1870
I being in the way,
H3068
the LORD
H5148 [H8804]
led me
H1004
to the house
H113
of my master's
H251
brethren.
28
H5291
And the damsel
H7323 [H8799]
ran,
H5046 [H8686]
and told
H1697
these things
H517
to her mother's
H1004
house.
29
H7259
And Rebekah
H251
had a brother,
H8034
and his name
H3837
was Laban:
H3837
and Laban
H7323 [H8799]
ran
H2351
out
H376
to the man,
H5869
to the well.
30
H7200 [H8800]
And it came to pass, when he saw
H5141
the earring
H6781
and bracelets
H269
upon his sister's
H3027
wrists,
H8085 [H8800]
and when he heard
H1697
the words
H7259
of Rebekah
H269
his sister,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H3541
Thus
H1696 [H8765]
spoke
H376
the man
H935 [H8799]
to me; that he came
H376
to the man;
H5975 [H8802]
and, behold, he stood
H5921
by
H1581
the camels
H5869
at the well.
31
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H935 [H8798]
Come in,
H1288 [H8803]
thou blessed
H3068
of the LORD;
H5975 [H8799]
why standest
H2351
thou outside?
H6437 [H8765]
for I have prepared
H1004
the house,
H4725
and room
H1581
for the camels.
32
H376
And the man
H935 [H8799]
came
H1004
into the house:
H6605 [H8762]
and he ungirded
H1581
his camels,
H5414 [H8799]
and gave
H8401
straw
H4554
and feed
H1581
for the camels,
H4325
and water
H7364 [H8800]
to wash
H7272
his feet,
H582
and the men's
H7272
feet that were with him.
33
H7760 H3455 [H8714]
And there was set
H6440
food before him
H398 [H8800]
to eat:
H559 [H8799]
but he said,
H398 [H8799]
I will not eat,
H1696 [H8765]
until I have told
H1697
my errand.
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H1696 [H8761]
Speak on.
35
H3068
And the LORD
H1288 [H8765]
hath blessed
H113
my master
H3966
greatly;
H1431 [H8799]
and he is become great:
H5414 [H8799]
and he hath given
H6629
him flocks,
H1241
and herds,
H3701
and silver,
H2091
and gold,
H5650
and male
H8198
and female servants,
H1581
and camels,
H2543
and donkeys.
36
H8283
And Sarah
H113
my master's
H802
wife
H3205 [H8799]
bore
H1121
a son
H113
to my master
H310
when
H2209
she was old:
H5414 [H8799]
and to him hath he given all that he hath.
37
H113
And my master
H7650 [H8686]
made me swear,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H3947 [H8799]
Thou shalt not take
H802
a wife
H1121
for my son
H1323
of the daughters
H3669
of the Canaanites,
H776
in whose land
H3427 [H8802]
I dwell:
38
H518
But
H3212 [H8799]
thou shalt go
H1
to my father's
H1004
house,
H4940
and to my kindred,
H3947 [H8804]
and take
H802
a wife
H1121
for my son.
39
H559 [H8799]
And I said
H113
to my master,
H802
It may be the woman
H3212 H310 [H8799]
will not follow me.
40
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H3068
to me, The LORD,
H6440
at the face of
H1980 [H8694]
whom I walk,
H7971 [H8799]
will send
H4397
his messenger
H6743 [H8689]
with thee, and prosper
H1870
thy way;
H3947 [H8804]
and thou shalt take
H802
a wife
H1121
for my son
H4940
of my kindred,
H1
and of my father's
H1004
house:
41
H5352 [H8735]
Then shalt thou be clear
H423
from this my oath,
H935 [H8799]
when thou comest
H4940
to my kindred;
H5414 [H8799]
and if they give
H5355
not thee one, thou shalt be clear
H423
from my oath.
42
H935 [H8799]
And I came
H3117
this day
H5869
to the well,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H3068
O LORD
H430
God
H113
of my master
H85
Abraham,
H3426
if now thou dost
H6743 [H8688]
prosper
H1870
my way
H1980 [H8802]
which I go:
43
H5324 [H8737]
Behold, I stand
H5869
by the well
H4325
of water;
H5959
and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin
H3318 [H8802]
cometh forth
H7579 [H8800]
to draw
H559 [H8804]
water, and I say
H8248 0
to her, Give me,
H4592
I pray thee, a little
H4325
water
H3537
of thy pitcher
H8248 [H8685]
to drink;
44
H559 [H8804]
And she saith
H8354 [H8798]
to me, Both drink
H7579 [H8799]
thou, and I will also draw
H1581
for thy camels:
H802
let the same be the woman
H3068
whom the LORD
H3198 [H8689]
hath appointed
H113
for my master's
H1121
son.
45
H3615 [H8762]
And before I had finished
H1696 [H8763]
speaking
H3820
in my heart,
H7259
behold, Rebekah
H3318 [H8802]
came forth
H3537
with her pitcher
H7926
on her shoulder;
H3381 [H8799]
and she went down
H5869
to the well,
H7579 [H8799]
and drew
H559 [H8799]
water: and I said
H8248 [H8685]
to her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
46
H4116 [H8762]
And she made haste,
H3381 [H8686]
and let down
H3537
her pitcher
H559 [H8799]
from her shoulder, and said,
H8354 [H8798]
Drink,
H8248 [H8686]
and I will water
H1581
thy camels
H8354 [H8799]
also: so I drank,
H8248 [H8689]
and she watered
H1581
the camels also.
47
H7592 [H8799]
And I asked
H559 [H8799]
her, and said,
H1323
Whose daughter
H559 [H8799]
art thou? And she said,
H1323
The daughter
H1328
of Bethuel,
H5152
Nahor's
H1121
son,
H4435
whom Milcah
H3205 [H8804]
bore
H7760 [H8799]
to him: and I put
H5141
the ring
H639
upon her nose,
H6781
and the bracelets
H3027
upon her wrists.
48
H6915 [H8799]
And I bowed my head,
H7812 [H8691]
and worshipped
H3068
the LORD,
H1288 [H8762]
and blessed
H3068
the LORD
H430
God
H113
of my master
H85
Abraham,
H5148 [H8689]
who had led me
H571
in the right
H1870
way
H3947 [H8800]
to take
H113
my master's
H251
brother's
H1323
daughter
H1121
for his son.
49
H3426
And now if you will
H6213 [H8802]
deal
H2617
mercifully
H571
and truly
H113
with my master,
H5046 [H8685]
tell
H5046 [H8685]
me: and if not, tell
H6437 [H8799]
me; that I may turn
H3225
to the right hand,
H176
or
H8040
to the left.
50
H3837
Then Laban
H1328
and Bethuel
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H1697
The thing
H3318 [H8804]
proceedeth
H3068
from the LORD:
H3201 [H8799]
we cannot
H1696 [H8763]
speak
H7451
to thee bad
H176
or
H2896
good.
51
H7259
Behold, Rebekah
H6440
is before thee,
H3947 [H8798]
take
H3212 [H8798]
her, and go,
H113
and let her be thy master's
H1121
son's
H802
wife,
H3068
as the LORD
H1696 [H8765]
hath spoken.
52
H85
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's
H5650
servant
H8085 [H8804]
heard
H1697
their words,
H7812 [H8691]
he worshipped
H3068
the LORD,
H776
bowing himself to the earth.
53
H5650
And the servant
H3318 [H8686]
brought forth
H3627
jewels
H3701
of silver,
H3627
and jewels
H2091
of gold,
H899
and raiment,
H5414 [H8799]
and gave
H7259
them to Rebekah:
H5414 [H8804]
he gave
H251
also to her brother
H517
and to her mother
H4030
precious things.
54
H398 [H8799]
And they ate
H8354 [H8799]
and drank,
H582
he and the men
H3885 [H8799]
that were with him, and tarried all night;
H6965 [H8799]
and they rose
H1242
in the morning,
H559 [H8799]
and he said,
H7971 [H8761]
Send me away
H113
to my master.
55
H251
And her brother
H517
and her mother
H559 [H8799]
said,
H5291
Let the damsel
H3427 [H8799]
abide
H3117
with us a few days,
H176
at the least
H6218
ten;
H310
after
H3212 [H8799]
that she shall go.
56
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H309 [H8762]
to them, Hinder me
H3068
not, seeing the LORD
H6743 [H8689]
hath prospered
H1870
my way;
H7971 [H8761]
send me away
H3212 [H8799]
that I may go
H113
to my master.
57
H559 [H8799]
And they said,
H7121 [H8799]
We will call
H5291
the damsel,
H7592 [H8799]
and enquire
H6310
at her mouth.
58
H7121 [H8799]
And they called
H7259
Rebekah,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H3212 [H8799]
to her, Wilt thou go
H376
with this man?
H559 [H8799]
And she said,
H3212 [H8799]
I will go.
59
H7971 [H8762]
And they sent away
H7259
Rebekah
H269
their sister,
H3243 [H8688]
and her nurse,
H85
and Abraham's
H5650
servant,
H582
and his men.
60
H1288 [H8762]
And they blessed
H7259
Rebekah,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H859
to her, Thou
H269
art our sister,
H1961 [H8798]
be thou
H505
the mother of thousands
H7233
of millions,
H2233
and let thy seed
H3423 [H8799]
possess
H8179
the gate
H8130 [H8802]
of those who hate them.
61
H7259
And Rebekah
H6965 [H8799]
arose,
H5291
and her damsels,
H7392 [H8799]
and they rode
H1581
upon the camels,
H3212 H310 [H8799]
and followed
H376
the man:
H5650
and the servant
H3947 [H8799]
took
H7259
Rebekah,
H3212 [H8799]
and went his way.
62
H3327
And Isaac
H935 [H8804]
came
H935 [H8800]
from the way
H883
of the well Lahairoi;
H3427 [H8802]
for he dwelt
H5045
in the south
H776
land.
63
H3327
And Isaac
H3318 [H8799]
went out
H7742 [H8800]
to meditate
H7704
in the field
H6437 [H8800]
at
H6153
evening:
H5375 [H8799]
and he lifted up
H5869
his eyes,
H7200 [H8799]
and saw,
H1581
and, behold, the camels
H935 [H8802]
were coming.
64
H7259
And Rebekah
H5375 [H8799]
lifted up
H5869
her eyes,
H7200 [H8799]
and when she saw
H3327
Isaac,
H5307 [H8799]
she got
H5921
off
H1581
the camel.
65
H559 [H8799]
For she had said
H5650
to the servant,
H4310
What
H376
man
H1976
is this
H1980 [H8802]
that walketh
H7704
in the field
H7125 [H8800]
to meet us?
H5650
And the servant
H559 [H8799]
had said,
H113
It is my master:
H3947 [H8799]
therefore she took
H6809
a veil,
H3680 [H8691]
and covered herself.
