And AbrahamH85 was oldH2204, and well strickenH935 in ageH3117: and the LORDH3068 had blessedH1288 AbrahamH85 in all things. {well…: Heb. gone into days}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his eldestH2205 servantH5650 of his houseH1004, that ruled overH4910 all that he had, PutH7760, I pray thee, thy handH3027 under my thighH3409:
And I will make thee swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, and the GodH430 of the earthH776, that thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 unto my sonH1121 of the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669, amongH7130 whom I dwellH3427:
But thou shalt goH3212 unto my countryH776, and to my kindredH4138, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 unto my sonH1121 IsaacH3327.
And the servantH5650 saidH559 unto him, Peradventure the womanH802 will not be willingH14 to followH3212 meH310 unto this landH776: must I needs bringH7725 thy sonH1121 againH7725 unto the landH776 from whence thou camestH3318?
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto him, BewareH8104 thou that thou bringH7725 notH6435 my sonH1121 thither againH7725.
The LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064, which took meH3947 from my father'sH1 houseH1004, and from the landH776 of my kindredH4138, and which spakeH1696 unto me, and that swareH7650 unto me, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 this landH776; he shall sendH7971 his angelH4397 before theeH6440, and thou shalt takeH3947 a wifeH802 unto my sonH1121 from thence.
And if the womanH802 will not be willingH14 to followH3212 theeH310, then thou shalt be clearH5352 from this my oathH7621: only bringH7725 not my sonH1121 thither againH7725.
And the servantH5650 putH7760 his handH3027 under the thighH3409 of AbrahamH85 his masterH113, and swareH7650 to him concerningH5921 thatH2088 matterH1697.
And the servantH5650 tookH3947 tenH6235 camelsH1581 of the camelsH1581 of his masterH113, and departedH3212; for all the goodsH2898 of his masterH113 were in his handH3027: and he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 to MesopotamiaH763, unto the cityH5892 of NahorH5152. {for: or, and}
And he madeH1288 his camelsH1581 to kneel downH1288 withoutH2351 the cityH5892 byH413 a wellH875 of waterH4325 at the timeH6256 of the eveningH6153, even the timeH6256 that women go outH3318 to drawH7579 water. {that…: Heb. that women who draw water go forth}
And he saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, I pray thee, send meH6440 good speedH7136 this dayH3117, and shewH6213 kindnessH2617 untoH5973 my masterH113 AbrahamH85.
Behold, I standH5324 here by the wellH5869 of waterH4325; and the daughtersH1323 of the menH582 of the cityH5892 come outH3318 to drawH7579 waterH4325:
And let it come to pass, that the damselH5291 to whom I shall sayH559, Let downH5186 thy pitcherH3537, I pray thee, that I may drinkH8354; and she shall sayH559, DrinkH8354, and I will giveH8248 thy camelsH1581 drinkH8248 also: let the same be she that thou hast appointedH3198 for thy servantH5650 IsaacH3327; and thereby shall I knowH3045 that thou hast shewedH6213 kindnessH2617 unto my masterH113.
And it came to pass, before he had doneH3615 speakingH1696, that, behold, RebekahH7259 came outH3318, whoH834 was bornH3205 to BethuelH1328, sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, the wifeH802 of NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251, with her pitcherH3537 upon her shoulderH7926.
And the damselH5291 was veryH3966 fairH2896 to look uponH4758, a virginH1330, neither had any manH376 knownH3045 her: and she went downH3381 to the wellH5869, and filledH4390 her pitcherH3537, and came upH5927. {very…: Heb. good of countenance}
And the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meet herH7125, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, drinkH1572 a littleH4592 waterH4325 of thy pitcherH3537.
And she saidH559, DrinkH8354, my lordH113: and she hastedH4116, and let downH3381 her pitcherH3537 upon her handH3027, and gave him drinkH8248.
And when she had doneH3615 giving him drinkH8248, she saidH559, I will drawH7579 water for thy camelsH1581 also, until they have doneH3615 drinkingH8354.
And she hastedH4116, and emptiedH6168 her pitcherH3537 into the troughH8268, and ranH7323 again unto the wellH875 to drawH7579 water, and drewH7579 for all his camelsH1581.
And the manH376 wonderingH7583 at her held his peaceH2790, to witH3045 whether the LORDH3068 had madeH6743 his journeyH1870 prosperousH6743 orH518 not.
And it came to pass, as the camelsH1581 had doneH3615 drinkingH8354, that the manH376 tookH3947 a goldenH2091 earringH5141 of half a shekelH1235 weightH4948, and twoH8147 braceletsH6781 for her handsH3027 of tenH6235 shekels weightH4948 of goldH2091; {earring: or, jewel for the forehead}
And saidH559, WhoseH4310 daughterH1323 art thouH859? tellH5046 me, I pray thee: is thereH3426 roomH4725 in thy father'sH1 houseH1004 for us to lodge inH3885?
And she saidH559 unto him, I am the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, which she bareH3205 unto NahorH5152.
She saidH559 moreover unto him, We have bothH1571 strawH8401 and provenderH4554 enoughH7227, andH1571 roomH4725 to lodge inH3885.
And the manH376 bowed down his headH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, who hath not left destituteH5800+H5973 my masterH113 of his mercyH2617 and his truthH571: I being in the wayH1870, the LORDH3068 led meH5148 to the houseH1004 of my master'sH113 brethrenH251.
And the damselH5291 ranH7323, and toldH5046 them of her mother'sH517 houseH1004 these thingsH1697.
And RebekahH7259 had a brotherH251, and his nameH8034 was LabanH3837: and LabanH3837 ranH7323 outH2351 unto the manH376, unto the wellH5869.
And it came to pass, when he sawH7200 the earringH5141 and braceletsH6781 upon his sister'sH269 handsH3027, and when he heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of RebekahH7259 his sisterH269, sayingH559, ThusH3541 spakeH1696 the manH376 unto me; that he cameH935 unto the manH376; and, behold, he stoodH5975 byH5921 the camelsH1581 at the wellH5869.
And he saidH559, Come inH935, thou blessedH1288 of the LORDH3068; wherefore standestH5975 thou withoutH2351? for I have preparedH6437 the houseH1004, and roomH4725 for the camelsH1581.
And the manH376 cameH935 into the houseH1004: and he ungirdedH6605 his camelsH1581, and gaveH5414 strawH8401 and provenderH4554 for the camelsH1581, and waterH4325 to washH7364 his feetH7272, and the men'sH582 feetH7272 that were with him.
And there was setH7760+H3455 meat before himH6440 to eatH398: but he saidH559, I will not eatH398, until I have toldH1696 mine errandH1697. And he saidH559, Speak onH1696.
And he saidH559, I am Abraham'sH85 servantH5650.
And the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 my masterH113 greatlyH3966; and he is become greatH1431: and he hath givenH5414 him flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and silverH3701, and goldH2091, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198, and camelsH1581, and assesH2543.
And SarahH8283 my master'sH113 wifeH802 bareH3205 a sonH1121 to my masterH113 whenH310 she was oldH2209: and unto him hath he givenH5414 all that he hath.
And my masterH113 made me swearH7650, sayingH559, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 to my sonH1121 of the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669, in whose landH776 I dwellH3427:
ButH518 thou shalt goH3212 unto my father'sH1 houseH1004, and to my kindredH4940, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 unto my sonH1121.
And I saidH559 unto my masterH113, Peradventure the womanH802 will not followH3212+H310 me.
And he saidH559 unto me, The LORDH3068, beforeH6440 whom I walkH1980, will sendH7971 his angelH4397 with thee, and prosperH6743 thy wayH1870; and thou shalt takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 of my kindredH4940, and of my father'sH1 houseH1004:
Then shalt thou be clearH5352 from this my oathH423, when thou comestH935 to my kindredH4940; and if they giveH5414 not thee one, thou shalt be clearH5355 from my oathH423.
And I cameH935 this dayH3117 unto the wellH5869, and saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, if now thou doH3426 prosperH6743 my wayH1870 which I goH1980:
Behold, I standH5324 by the wellH5869 of waterH4325; and it shall come to pass, that when the virginH5959 cometh forthH3318 to drawH7579 water, and I sayH559 to her, Give meH8248, I pray thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 of thy pitcherH3537 to drinkH8248;
And she sayH559 to me, Both drinkH8354 thou, and I will also drawH7579 for thy camelsH1581: let the same be the womanH802 whom the LORDH3068 hath appointed outH3198 for my master'sH113 sonH1121.
And before I had doneH3615 speakingH1696 in mine heartH3820, behold, RebekahH7259 came forthH3318 with her pitcherH3537 on her shoulderH7926; and she went downH3381 unto the wellH5869, and drewH7579 water: and I saidH559 unto her, Let me drinkH8248, I pray thee.
And she made hasteH4116, and let downH3381 her pitcherH3537 from her shoulder, and saidH559, DrinkH8354, and I will giveH8248 thy camelsH1581 drinkH8248 also: so I drankH8354, and she madeH8248 the camelsH1581 drinkH8248 also.
And I askedH7592 her, and saidH559, Whose daughterH1323 art thou? And she saidH559, The daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328, Nahor'sH5152 sonH1121, whom MilcahH4435 bareH3205 unto him: and I putH7760 the earringH5141 upon her faceH639, and the braceletsH6781 upon her handsH3027.
And I bowed down my headH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068, and blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, which had led meH5148 in the rightH571 wayH1870 to takeH3947 my master'sH113 brother'sH251 daughterH1323 unto his sonH1121.
And now if ye willH3426 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 and trulyH571 with my masterH113, tellH5046 me: and if not, tellH5046 me; that I may turnH6437 to the right handH3225, orH176 to the leftH8040.
Then LabanH3837 and BethuelH1328 answeredH6030 and saidH559, The thingH1697 proceedethH3318 from the LORDH3068: we cannotH3201 speakH1696 unto thee badH7451 orH176 goodH2896.
Behold, RebekahH7259 is before theeH6440, takeH3947 her, and goH3212, and let her be thy master'sH113 son'sH1121 wifeH802, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham'sH85 servantH5650 heardH8085 their wordsH1697, he worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068, bowing himself to the earthH776.
And the servantH5650 brought forthH3318 jewelsH3627 of silverH3701, and jewelsH3627 of goldH2091, and raimentH899, and gaveH5414 them to RebekahH7259: he gaveH5414 also to her brotherH251 and to her motherH517 precious thingsH4030. {jewels: Heb. vessels}
And they did eatH398 and drinkH8354, he and the menH582 that were with him, and tarried all nightH3885; and they rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and he saidH559, Send me awayH7971 unto my masterH113.
And her brotherH251 and her motherH517 saidH559, Let the damselH5291 abideH3427 with us a few daysH3117, at the leastH176 tenH6218; afterH310 that she shall goH3212. {a few…: or, a full year, or ten months}
And he saidH559 unto them, Hinder meH309 not, seeing the LORDH3068 hath prosperedH6743 my wayH1870; send me awayH7971 that I may goH3212 to my masterH113.
And they saidH559, We will callH7121 the damselH5291, and enquireH7592 at her mouthH6310.
And they calledH7121 RebekahH7259, and saidH559 unto her, Wilt thou goH3212 with this manH376? And she saidH559, I will goH3212.
And they sent awayH7971 RebekahH7259 their sisterH269, and her nurseH3243, and Abraham'sH85 servantH5650, and his menH582.
And they blessedH1288 RebekahH7259, and saidH559 unto her, ThouH859 art our sisterH269, be thouH1961 the mother of thousandsH505 of millionsH7233, and let thy seedH2233 possessH3423 the gateH8179 of those which hateH8130 them.
And RebekahH7259 aroseH6965, and her damselsH5291, and they rodeH7392 upon the camelsH1581, and followedH3212+H310 the manH376: and the servantH5650 tookH3947 RebekahH7259, and went his wayH3212.
And IsaacH3327 cameH935 from the wayH935 of the well LahairoiH883; for he dweltH3427 in the southH5045 countryH776.
And IsaacH3327 went outH3318 to meditateH7742 in the fieldH7704 atH6437 the eventideH6153: and he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and, behold, the camelsH1581 were comingH935. {to meditate: or, to pray}
And RebekahH7259 lifted upH5375 her eyesH5869, and when she sawH7200 IsaacH3327, she lightedH5307 offH5921 the camelH1581.
For she had saidH559 unto the servantH5650, WhatH4310 manH376 is thisH1976 that walkethH1980 in the fieldH7704 to meet usH7125? And the servantH5650 had saidH559, It is my masterH113: therefore she tookH3947 a vailH6809, and covered herselfH3680.
And the servantH5650 toldH5608 IsaacH3327 all thingsH1697 that he had doneH6213.
And IsaacH3327 brought herH935 into his motherH517 Sarah'sH8283 tentH168, and tookH3947 RebekahH7259, and she became his wifeH802; and he lovedH157 her: and IsaacH3327 was comfortedH5162 afterH310 his mother'sH517 death.

And before I had doneH3615 speakingH1696 in mine heartH3820, behold, RebekahH7259 came forthH3318 with her pitcherH3537 on her shoulderH7926; and she went downH3381 unto the wellH5869, and drewH7579 water: and I saidH559 unto her, Let me drinkH8248, I pray thee.
And she saidH559 unto him, I am the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the sonH1121 of MilcahH4435, which she bareH3205 unto NahorH5152.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of TerahH8646: TerahH8646 begatH3205 AbramH87, NahorH5152, and HaranH2039; and HaranH2039 begatH3205 LotH3876.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 breadH3899, and a bottleH2573 of waterH4325, and gaveH5414 it unto HagarH1904, puttingH7760 it on her shoulderH7926, and the childH3206, and sent her awayH7971: and she departedH3212, and wanderedH8582 in the wildernessH4057 of BeershebaH884.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, If thou wiltH3426 saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, as thou hast saidH1696,
Behold, I will putH3322 a fleeceH1492 of woolH6785 in the floorH1637; and if the dewH2919 be on the fleeceH1492 only, and it be dryH2721 upon all the earthH776 beside, then shall I knowH3045 that thou wilt saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, as thou hast saidH1696.
And it was so: for he rose up earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283, and thrustH2115 the fleeceH1492 togetherH2115, and wringedH4680 the dewH2919 out of the fleeceH1492, a bowlH5602 fullH4393 of waterH4325.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, Let not thine angerH639 be hotH2734 against me, and I will speakH1696 but this onceH6471: let me proveH5254, I pray thee, but this onceH6471 with the fleeceH1492; let it now be dryH2721 only upon the fleeceH1492, and upon all the groundH776 let there be dewH2919.
And GodH430 didH6213 so that nightH3915: for it was dryH2721 upon the fleeceH1492 only, and there was dewH2919 on all the groundH776.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that it was toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she hath also bornH3205 childrenH1121 unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152;
HuzH5780 his firstbornH1060, and BuzH938 his brotherH251, and KemuelH7055 the fatherH1 of AramH758,
And ChesedH3777, and HazoH2375, and PildashH6394, and JidlaphH3044, and BethuelH1328.
And BethuelH1328 begatH3205 RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 MilcahH4435 did bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
And AbramH87 and NahorH5152 tookH3947 them wivesH802: the nameH8034 of Abram'sH87 wifeH802 was SaraiH8297; and the nameH8034 of Nahor'sH5152 wifeH802, MilcahH4435, the daughterH1323 of HaranH2039, the fatherH1 of MilcahH4435, and the fatherH1 of IscahH3252.
And while he yetH5750 spakeH1696 with them, RachelH7354 cameH935 with her father'sH1 sheepH6629: for she kept themH7462.
The eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 are upon the righteousH6662, and his earsH241 are open unto their cryH7775.
And BethuelH1328 begatH3205 RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 MilcahH4435 did bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham'sH85 brotherH251. {Rebekah: Gr. Rebecca}
Now the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323: and they cameH935 and drewH1802 water, and filledH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father'sH1 flockH6629. {priest: or, prince}
And RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125 saidH559 unto NaomiH5281, Let me now goH3212 to the fieldH7704, and gleanH3950 ears of cornH7641 afterH310 him in whose sightH5869 I shall findH4672 graceH2580. And she saidH559 unto her, GoH3212, my daughterH1323.
The LORDH3068 is nighH7138 unto all them that callH7121 upon him, to all that callH7121 upon him in truthH571.
So she gleanedH3950 in the fieldH7704 until evenH6153, and beat outH2251 that she had gleanedH3950: and it was about an ephahH374 of barleyH8184.
He will fulfilH6213 the desireH7522 of them that fearH3373 him: he also will hearH8085 their cryH7775, and will saveH3467 them.
She looketh wellH6822 to the waysH1979+H1979 of her householdH1004, and eatethH398 not the breadH3899 of idlenessH6104.
Then shalt thou callH7121, and the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030; thou shalt cryH7768, and he shall sayH559, Here I am. If thou take awayH5493 from the midstH8432 of thee the yokeH4133, the putting forthH7971 of the fingerH676, and speakingH1696 vanityH205;
And it shall come to pass, that before they callH7121, I will answerH6030; and while they are yet speakingH1696, I will hearH8085.
And whiles I was speakingH1696, and prayingH6419, and confessingH3034 my sinH2403 and the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and presentingH5307 my supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 my GodH430 for the holyH6944 mountainH2022 of my GodH430;
Yea, whiles I was speakingH1696 in prayerH8605, even the manH376 GabrielH1403, whom I had seenH7200 in the visionH2377 at the beginningH8462, being caused to flyH3286 swiftlyH3288, touchedH5060 me about the timeH6256 of the eveningH6153 oblationH4503. {swiftly: Heb. with weariness, or, flight}
And he informedH995 me, and talkedH1696 with me, and saidH559, O DanielH1840, I am now come forthH3318 to give thee skillH7919 and understandingH998. {to…: Heb. to make thee skilful of}
At the beginningH8462 of thy supplicationsH8469 the commandmentH1697 came forthH3318, and I am comeH935 to shewH5046 thee; for thou art greatly belovedH2532: therefore understandH995 the matterH1697, and considerH995 the visionH4758. {commandment: Heb. word} {greatly…: Heb. a man of desires}
