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 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.
AndG2532 IG1473 will prayG2065 the FatherG3962, andG2532 he shall giveG1325 youG5213 anotherG243 ComforterG3875, thatG2443 he may abideG3306 withG3326 youG5216 forG1519 everG165;
My servantH5650 MosesH4872 is not so, who is faithfulH539 in all mine houseH1004.
With him will I speakH1696 mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, even apparentlyH4758, and not in dark speechesH2420; and the similitudeH8544 of the LORDH3068 shall he beholdH5027: wherefore then were ye not afraidH3372 to speakH1696 against my servantH5650 MosesH4872?
MoreoverG3063 it is requiredG2212 inG1722 stewardsG3623, thatG2443 a manG5100 be foundG2147 faithfulG4103.
And it shall come to pass, that before they callH7121, I will answerH6030; and while they are yet speakingH1696, I will hearH8085.
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}
ButG1161 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, FearG5399 notG3361, ZachariasG2197: forG1360 thyG4675 prayerG1162 is heardG1522; andG2532 thyG4675 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 shall bearG1080 theeG4671 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JohnG2491.
The fruitH6529 of the righteousH6662 is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416; and he that winnethH3947 soulsH5315 is wiseH2450. {winneth: Heb. taketh}
WhenG5613 thereforeG3767 the LordG2962 knewG1097 howG3754 the PhariseesG5330 had heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 madeG4160 andG2532 baptizedG907 moreG4119 disciplesG3101 thanG2228 JohnG2491,
(ThoughG2544 JesusG2424 himselfG846 baptizedG907 notG3756, butG235 hisG846 disciplesG3101,)
He leftG863 JudaeaG2449, andG2532 departedG565 againG3825 intoG1519 GalileeG1056.
AndG1161 he must needsG1163 goG1330 throughG1223 SamariaG4540.
ThenG3767 cometh heG2064 toG1519 a cityG4172 of SamariaG4540, which is calledG3004 SycharG4965, nearG4139 to the parcel of groundG5564 thatG3739 JacobG2384 gaveG1325 to hisG846 sonG5207 JosephG2501.
NowG1161 Jacob'sG2384 wellG4077 wasG2258 thereG1563. JesusG2424 thereforeG3767, being weariedG2872 withG1537 his journeyG3597, satG2516 thusG3779 onG1909 the wellG4077: and it wasG2258 aboutG5616 the sixthG1623 hourG5610.
There comethG2064 a womanG1135 ofG1537 SamariaG4540 to drawG501 waterG5204: JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, GiveG1325 meG3427 to drinkG4095.
(ForG1063 hisG846 disciplesG3101 were gone awayG565 untoG1519 the cityG4172 toG2443 buyG59 meatG5160.)
ThenG3767 saithG3004 the womanG1135 of SamariaG4542 unto himG846, How is it thatG4459 thouG4771, beingG5607 a JewG2453, askestG154 drinkG4095 ofG3844 meG1700, which amG5607 a womanG1135 of SamariaG4542? forG1063 the JewsG2453 haveG4798 noG3756 dealingsG4798 with the SamaritansG4541.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto herG846, IfG1487 thou knewestG1492 the giftG1431 of GodG2316, andG2532 whoG5101 it isG2076 that saithG3004 to theeG4671, GiveG1325 meG3427 to drinkG4095; thouG4771 wouldestG302 have askedG154 of himG846, andG2532 he wouldG302 have givenG1325 theeG4671 livingG2198 waterG5204.
The womanG1135 saithG3004 unto himG846, SirG2962, thou hastG2192 nothingG3777 to draw withG502, andG2532 the wellG5421 isG2076 deepG901: from whenceG4159 thenG3767 hast thouG2192 that livingG2198 waterG5204?
ArtG1488 thouG4771 greaterG3187 than ourG2257 fatherG3962 JacobG2384, whichG3739 gaveG1325 usG2254 the wellG5421, andG2532 drankG4095 thereofG1537+G846 himselfG846, andG2532 hisG846 childrenG5207, andG2532 hisG846 cattleG2353?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto herG846, WhosoeverG3956 drinkethG4095 ofG1537 thisG5127 waterG5204 shall thirstG1372 againG3825:
ButG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 drinkethG4095 ofG1537 the waterG5204 thatG3739 IG1473 shall giveG1325 himG846 shallG1372 neverG1519+G165+G3364 thirstG1372; butG235 the waterG5204 thatG3739 I shall giveG1325 himG846 shall beG1096 inG1722 himG846 a wellG4077 of waterG5204 springing upG242 intoG1519 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
The womanG1135 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, SirG2962, giveG1325 meG3427 thisG5124 waterG5204, thatG3363 I thirstG1372 notG3363, neitherG3366 comeG2064 hitherG1759 to drawG501.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, GoG5217, callG5455 thyG4675 husbandG435, andG2532 comeG2064 hitherG1759.
The womanG1135 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036, I haveG2192 noG3756 husbandG435. JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto herG846, Thou hastG2036 wellG2573 saidG2036+G3754, I haveG2192 noG3756 husbandG435:
ForG1063 thou hast hadG2192 fiveG4002 husbandsG435; andG2532 he whomG3739 thouG2192 nowG3568 hastG2192 isG2076 notG3756 thyG4675 husbandG435: in thatG5124 saidst thouG2046 trulyG227.
The womanG1135 saithG3004 unto himG846, SirG2962, I perceiveG2334 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 a prophetG4396.
OurG2257 fathersG3962 worshippedG4352 inG1722 thisG5129 mountainG3735; andG2532 yeG5210 sayG3004, thatG3754 inG1722 JerusalemG2414 isG2076 the placeG5117 whereG3699 men oughtG1163 to worshipG4352.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, WomanG1135, believeG4100 meG3427, the hourG5610 comethG3754+G2064, whenG3753 ye shallG4352 neitherG3777 inG1722 thisG5129 mountainG3735, nor yetG3777 atG1722 JerusalemG2414, worshipG4352 the FatherG3962.
YeG5210 worshipG4352 ye knowG1492 notG3756 whatG3739: we knowG1492 whatG3739 weG2249 worshipG4352: forG3754 salvationG4991 isG2076 ofG1537 the JewsG2453.
ButG235 the hourG5610 comethG2064, andG2532 nowG3568 isG2076, whenG3753 the trueG228 worshippersG4353 shall worshipG4352 the FatherG3962 inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225: forG2532+G1063 the FatherG3962 seekethG2212 suchG5108 to worshipG4352 himG846.
GodG2316 is a SpiritG4151: andG2532 they that worshipG4352 himG846 mustG1163 worshipG4352 him inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225.
The womanG1135 saithG3004 unto himG846, I knowG1492 thatG3754 MessiasG3323 comethG2064, whichG3588 is calledG3004 ChristG5547: whenG3752 heG1565 is comeG2064, he will tellG312 usG2254 all thingsG3956.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, IG1473 that speakG2980 unto theeG4671 amG1510 he.
AndG2532 uponG1909 thisG5129 cameG2064 hisG846 disciplesG3101, andG2532 marvelledG2296 thatG3754 he talkedG2980 withG3326 the womanG1135: yetG3305 no manG3762 saidG2036, WhatG5101 seekest thouG2212? orG2228, WhyG5101 talkest thouG2980 withG3326 herG846?
The womanG1135 thenG3767 leftG863 herG846 waterpotG5201, andG2532 went her wayG565 intoG1519 the cityG4172, andG2532 saithG3004 to the menG444,
ComeG1205, seeG1492 a manG444, whichG3739 toldG2036 meG3427 all thingsG3956 that everG3745 I didG4160: isG2076 notG3385 thisG3778 the ChristG5547?
ThenG3767 they wentG1831 out ofG1537 the cityG4172, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846.
InG1722 the meanG3342 while his disciplesG3101 prayedG2065 himG846, sayingG3004, MasterG4461, eatG5315.
ButG1161 he saidG2036 unto themG846, IG1473 haveG2192 meatG1035 to eatG5315 thatG3739 yeG5210 knowG1492 notG3756 ofG1492.
ThereforeG3767 saidG3004 the disciplesG3101 one to anotherG4314+G240, HathG5342 any manG3387 broughtG5342 himG846 ought to eatG5315?
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, MyG1699 meatG1033 isG2076 toG2443 doG4160 the willG2307 of him that sentG3992 meG3165, andG2532 to finishG5048 hisG846 workG2041.
SayG3004 notG3756 yeG5210, ThereG3754 areG2076 yetG2089 four monthsG5072, andG2532 then comethG2064 harvestG2326? beholdG2400, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, Lift upG1869 yourG5216 eyesG3788, andG2532 look onG2300 the fieldsG5561; forG3754 they areG1526 whiteG3022 alreadyG2235 toG4314 harvestG2326.
AndG2532 he that reapethG2325 receivethG2983 wagesG3408, andG2532 gatherethG4863 fruitG2590 untoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166: thatG2443 bothG2532 he that sowethG4687 andG2532 he that reapethG2325 may rejoiceG5463 togetherG3674.
AndG1063 hereinG1722+G5129 isG2076 that sayingG3056 trueG228+G3754, OneG243 sowethG2076+G4687, andG2532 anotherG243 reapethG2325.
IG1473 sentG649 youG5209 to reapG2325 that whereonG3739 yeG5210 bestowedG2872 noG3756 labourG2872: other menG243 labouredG2872, andG2532 yeG5210 are enteredG1525 intoG1519 theirG846 laboursG2873.
AndG1161 manyG4183 of the SamaritansG4541 ofG1537 thatG1565 cityG4172 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846 forG1223 the sayingG3056 of the womanG1135, which testifiedG3140+G3754, He toldG2036 meG3427 allG3956 that everG3745 I didG4160.
SoG3767 whenG5613 the SamaritansG4541 were comeG2064 untoG4314 himG846, they besoughtG2065 himG846 that he would tarryG3306 withG3844 themG846: andG2532 he abodeG3306 thereG1563 twoG1417 daysG2250.
AndG2532 manyG4183 moreG4119 believedG4100 becauseG1223 of his ownG846 wordG3056;
AndG5037 saidG3004 unto the womanG1135+G3754, NowG3765 we believeG4100, notG3754 becauseG1223 of thyG4674 sayingG2981: forG1063 we have heardG191 him ourselvesG846, andG2532 knowG1492 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 indeedG230 the ChristG5547, the SaviourG4990 of the worldG2889.
NowG1161 afterG3326 twoG1417 daysG2250 he departedG565+G1831 thenceG1564, andG2532 went intoG1519 GalileeG1056.
ForG1063 JesusG2424 himselfG846 testifiedG3140, thatG3754 a prophetG4396 hathG2192 noG3756 honourG5092 inG1722 his ownG2398 countryG3968.
ThenG3767 whenG3753 he was comeG2064 intoG1519 GalileeG1056, the GalilaeansG1057 receivedG1209 himG846, having seenG3708 all the thingsG3956 thatG3739 he didG4160 atG1722 JerusalemG2414 atG1722 the feastG1859: forG1063 theyG846 alsoG2532 wentG2064 untoG1519 the feastG1859.
SoG3767 JesusG2424 cameG2064 againG3825 intoG1519 CanaG2580 of GalileeG1056, whereG3699 he madeG4160 the waterG5204 wineG3631. AndG2532 there wasG2258 a certainG5100 noblemanG937, whoseG3739 sonG5207 was sickG770 atG1722 CapernaumG2584. {nobleman: or, courtier, or, ruler}
When heG3778 heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was comeG2240 out ofG1537 JudaeaG2449 intoG1519 GalileeG1056, he wentG565 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 besoughtG2065 himG846 thatG2443 he would come downG2597, andG2532 healG2390 hisG846 sonG5207: forG1063 he was at the pointG3195 of deathG599.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 JesusG2424 untoG4314 himG846, ExceptG3362 ye seeG1492 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, ye willG4100 notG3364 believeG4100.
The noblemanG937 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, SirG2962, come downG2597 ereG4250 myG3450 childG3813 dieG599.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, Go thy wayG4198; thyG4675 sonG5207 livethG2198. AndG2532 the manG444 believedG4100 the wordG3056 thatG3739 JesusG2424 had spokenG2036 unto himG846, andG2532 he went his wayG4198.
AndG1161 as heG846 was nowG2235 going downG2597, hisG846 servantsG1401 metG528 himG846, andG2532 toldG518 him, sayingG3004+G3754, ThyG4675 sonG3816 livethG2198.
ThenG3767 enquired heG4441 ofG3844 themG846 the hourG5610 whenG1722+G3739 he beganG2192 to amendG2866. AndG2532 they saidG2036 unto himG846+G3754, YesterdayG5504 at the seventhG1442 hourG5610 the feverG4446 leftG863 himG846.
SoG3767 the fatherG3962 knewG1097 thatG3754 it was atG1722 the sameG1565 hourG5610, inG1722 the whichG3739 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846+G3754, ThyG4675 sonG5207 livethG2198: andG2532 himselfG846 believedG4100, andG2532 hisG846 wholeG3650 houseG3614.
ThisG5124 is againG3825 the secondG1208 miracleG4592 that JesusG2424 didG4160, when he was come outG2064 ofG1537 JudaeaG2449 intoG1519 GalileeG1056.
And his servantsH5650 came nearH5066, and spakeH1696 unto him, and saidH559, My fatherH1, if the prophetH5030 had bidH1696 thee do some greatH1419 thingH1697, wouldest thou not have doneH6213 it? how much rather thenH637, when he saithH559 to thee, WashH7364, and be cleanH2891?
Then went he downH3381, and dippedH2881 himself sevenH7651 timesH6471 in JordanH3383, according to the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430: and his fleshH1320 came againH7725 like unto the fleshH1320 of a littleH6996 childH5288, and he was cleanH2891.
BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 youG5209 forthG649 asG5613 sheepG4263 inG1722 the midstG3319 of wolvesG3074: be yeG1096 thereforeG3767 wiseG5429 asG5613 serpentsG3789, andG2532 harmlessG185 asG5613 dovesG4058. {harmless: or, simple}
AndG2532 whosoeverG3739+G1437 shall give to drinkG4222 unto oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398 a cupG4221 of coldG5593 water onlyG3440 inG1519 the nameG3686 of a discipleG3101, verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, he shall in no wiseG3364 loseG622 hisG846 rewardG3408.
ButG1161 seek yeG2212 firstG4412 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, andG2532 hisG846 righteousnessG1343; andG2532 allG3956 these thingsG5023 shall be addedG4369 unto youG5213.
And howG5613 I kept backG5288 nothingG3762 that was profitableG4851 unto you, butG3361 have shewedG312 youG5213, andG2532 have taughtG1321 youG5209 publicklyG1219, andG2532 fromG2596 house to houseG3624,
TestifyingG1263 bothG5037 to the JewsG2453, and alsoG2532 to the GreeksG1672, repentanceG3341 towardG1519 GodG2316, andG2532 faithG4102 towardG1519 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
HearkenH8085, O daughterH1323, and considerH7200, and inclineH5186 thine earH241; forgetH7911 also thine own peopleH5971, and thy father'sH1 houseH1004;
So shall the kingH4428 greatly desireH183 thy beautyH3308: for he is thy LordH113; and worshipH7812 thou him.
ForG1063 I am jealousG2206 over youG5209 with godlyG2316 jealousyG2205: forG1063 I have espousedG718 youG5209 to oneG1520 husbandG435, that I may presentG3936 you as a chasteG53 virginG3933 to ChristG5547.
ThatG2443 he might presentG3936 itG846 to himselfG1438 a gloriousG1741 churchG1577, notG3361 havingG2192 spotG4696, orG2228 wrinkleG4512, orG2228 anyG5100 such thingG5108; butG235 thatG2443 it should beG5600 holyG40 andG2532 without blemishG299.
Being confidentG3982 of thisG5124 very thingG846, thatG3754 he which hath begunG1728 a goodG18 workG2041 inG1722 youG5213 will performG2005 it untilG891 the dayG2250 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {perform: or, finish}
MoreoverG3063 it is requiredG2212 inG1722 stewardsG3623, thatG2443 a manG5100 be foundG2147 faithfulG4103.
My servantH5650 MosesH4872 is not so, who is faithfulH539 in all mine houseH1004.
AndG1161 he spakeG3004+G2532 a parableG3850 unto themG846+G4314 to this end, that men oughtG1163 alwaysG3842 to prayG4336, andG2532 notG3361 to faintG1573;
Now when DanielH1841 knewH3046 that the writingH3792 was signedH7560, he wentH5954 into his houseH1005; and his windowsH3551 being openH6606 in his chamberH5952 towardH5049 JerusalemH3390, he kneeledH1289 uponH5922 his kneesH1291 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118, and prayedH6739, and gave thanksH3029 beforeH6925 his GodH426, asH6903+H3606 he didH1934+H5648 aforetimeH4481+H1836+H6928.
Put onG1746 thereforeG3767, asG5613 the electG1588 of GodG2316, holyG40 andG2532 belovedG25, bowelsG4698 of merciesG3628, kindnessG5544, humbleness of mindG5012, meeknessG4236, longsufferingG3115;
LikewiseG3668, ye youngerG3501, submit yourselvesG5293 unto the elderG4245. YeaG1161, allG3956 of you be subjectG5293 one to anotherG240, and be clothedG1463 with humilityG5012: forG3754 GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, andG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.
TakeG142 myG3450 yokeG2218 uponG1909 youG5209, andG2532 learnG3129 ofG575 meG1700; forG3754 I amG1510 meekG4235 andG2532 lowlyG5011 in heartG2588: andG2532 ye shall findG2147 restG372 unto yourG5216 soulsG5590.
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 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.
For they have takenH5375 of their daughtersH1323 for themselves, and for their sonsH1121: so that the holyH6944 seedH2233 have mingledH6148 themselves with the peopleH5971 of those landsH776: yea, the handH3027 of the princesH8269 and rulersH5461 hath been chiefH7223 in this trespassH4604.
And thou takeH3947 of their daughtersH1323 unto thy sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430, and makeH2181 thy sonsH1121 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430.
Thou shalt makeH6213 thee no moltenH4541 godsH430.
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {went…: Heb. fulfilled not after}
And SamsonH8123 went downH3381 to TimnathH8553, and sawH7200 a womanH802 in TimnathH8553 of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And he came upH5927, and toldH5046 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and saidH559, I have seenH7200 a womanH802 in TimnathH8553 of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430: now therefore getH3947 her for me to wifeH802.
Then his fatherH1 and his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, Is there neverH369 a womanH802 among the daughtersH1323 of thy brethrenH251, or among all my peopleH5971, that thou goestH1980 to takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistinesH6430? And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, GetH3947 her for me; for she pleaseth me wellH3474+H5869. {pleaseth…: Heb. is right in mine eyes}
But his fatherH1 and his motherH517 knewH3045 not that it was of the LORDH3068, that he soughtH1245 an occasionH8385 against the PhilistinesH6430: for at that timeH6256 the PhilistinesH6430 had dominionH4910 over IsraelH3478.
Then wentH3381 SamsonH8123 downH3381, and his fatherH1 and his motherH517, to TimnathH8553, and cameH935 to the vineyardsH3754 of TimnathH8553: and, behold, a youngH3715 lionH738 roaredH7580 againstH7125 him. {against…: Heb. in meeting him}
And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 came mightilyH6743 upon him, and he rentH8156 him as he would have rentH8156 a kidH1423, and he had nothingH3972 in his handH3027: but he toldH5046 not his fatherH1 or his motherH517 what he had doneH6213.
And he went downH3381, and talkedH1696 with the womanH802; and she pleasedH3474 SamsonH8123 wellH3474+H5869.
And after a timeH3117 he returnedH7725 to takeH3947 her, and he turned asideH5493 to seeH7200 the carcaseH4658 of the lionH738: and, behold, there was a swarmH5712 of beesH1682 and honeyH1706 in the carcaseH1472 of the lionH738.
And he tookH7287 thereof in his handsH3709, and went onH3212 eatingH398, and cameH1980 to his fatherH1 and motherH517, and he gaveH5414 them, and they did eatH398: but he toldH5046 not them that he had takenH7287 the honeyH1706 out of the carcaseH1472 of the lionH738.
So his fatherH1 went downH3381 unto the womanH802: and SamsonH8123 madeH6213 there a feastH4960; for so used the young menH970 to doH6213.
And it came to pass, when they sawH7200 him, that they broughtH3947 thirtyH7970 companionsH4828 to be with him.
And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, I will now put forthH2330 a riddleH2420 unto you: if ye can certainlyH5046 declareH5046 it me within the sevenH7651 daysH3117 of the feastH4960, and find it outH4672, then I will giveH5414 you thirtyH7970 sheetsH5466 and thirtyH7970 changeH2487 of garmentsH899: {sheets: or, shirts}
But if ye cannotH3201 declareH5046 it me, then shall ye giveH5414 me thirtyH7970 sheetsH5466 and thirtyH7970 changeH2487 of garmentsH899. And they saidH559 unto him, Put forthH2330 thy riddleH2420, that we may hearH8085 it. {sheets: or, shirts}
And he saidH559 unto them, Out of the eaterH398 came forthH3318 meatH3978, and out of the strongH5794 came forthH3318 sweetnessH4966. And they couldH3201 not in threeH7969 daysH3117 expoundH5046 the riddleH2420.
And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they saidH559 unto Samson'sH8123 wifeH802, EnticeH6601 thy husbandH376, that he may declareH5046 unto us the riddleH2420, lest we burnH8313 thee and thy father'sH1 houseH1004 with fireH784: have ye calledH7121 us to take that we haveH3423? is it not so? {take…: Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us?}
And Samson'sH8123 wifeH802 weptH1058 before him, and saidH559, Thou dost but hateH8130 me, and lovestH157 me not: thou hast put forthH2330 a riddleH2420 unto the childrenH1121 of my peopleH5971, and hast not toldH5046 it me. And he saidH559 unto her, Behold, I have not toldH5046 it my fatherH1 nor my motherH517, and shall I tellH5046 it thee?
And she weptH1058 before him the sevenH7651 daysH3117, while their feastH4960 lastedH1961: and it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that he toldH5046 her, because she lay soreH6693 upon him: and she toldH5046 the riddleH2420 to the childrenH1121 of her peopleH5971. {the seven…: or, the rest of the seven days}
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto him on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 before the sunH2775 went downH935, What is sweeterH4966 than honeyH1706? and what is strongerH5794 than a lionH738? And he saidH559 unto them, IfH3884 ye had not plowedH2790 with my heiferH5697, ye had not found outH4672 my riddleH2420.
And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH6743 upon him, and he went downH3381 to AshkelonH831, and slewH5221 thirtyH7970 menH376 of them, and tookH3947 their spoilH2488, and gaveH5414 changeH2487 of garments unto them which expoundedH5046 the riddleH2420. And his angerH639 was kindledH2734, and he went upH5927 to his father'sH1 houseH1004. {spoil: or, apparel}
But Samson'sH8123 wifeH802 was given to his companionH4828, whom he had used as his friendH7462.
Be yeG1096 notG3361 unequally yoked togetherG2086 with unbelieversG571: forG1063 whatG5101 fellowshipG3352 hath righteousnessG1343 withG2532 unrighteousnessG458? andG1161 whatG5101 communionG2842 hath lightG5457 withG4314 darknessG4655?
The hopeH8431 of the righteousH6662 shall be gladnessH8057: but the expectationH8615 of the wickedH7563 shall perishH6.
HusbandsG435, loveG25 yourG1438 wivesG1135, even asG2531 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 lovedG25 the churchG1577, andG2532 gaveG3860 himselfG1438 forG5228 itG846;
OweG3784 no manG3367 any thingG3367, butG1508 to loveG25 one anotherG240: forG1063 he that lovethG25 anotherG2087 hath fulfilledG4137 the lawG3551.
ThatG2443 he might presentG3936 itG846 to himselfG1438 a gloriousG1741 churchG1577, notG3361 havingG2192 spotG4696, orG2228 wrinkleG4512, orG2228 anyG5100 such thingG5108; butG235 thatG2443 it should beG5600 holyG40 andG2532 without blemishG299.
ButG1161 if anyG1536 provideG4306 notG3756 for his ownG2398, andG2532 speciallyG3122 for those of his own houseG3609, he hath deniedG720 the faithG4102, andG2532 isG2076 worse thanG5501 an infidelG571. {house: or, kindred}
Who can findH4672 a virtuousH2428 womanH802? for her priceH4377 is farH7350 above rubiesH6443.
And DinahH1783 the daughterH1323 of LeahH3812, which she bareH3205 unto JacobH3290, went outH3318 to seeH7200 the daughtersH1323 of the landH776.
And when ShechemH7927 the sonH1121 of HamorH2544 the HiviteH2340, princeH5387 of the countryH776, sawH7200 her, he tookH3947 her, and layH7901 with her, and defiled herH6031. {defiled…: Heb. humbled her}
And his soulH5315 claveH1692 unto DinahH1783 the daughterH1323 of JacobH3290, and he lovedH157 the damselH5291, and spakeH1696 kindlyH3820 unto the damselH5291. {kindly…: Heb. to the heart of the damsel}
And ShechemH7927 spakeH559 unto his fatherH1 HamorH2544, sayingH559, GetH3947 me this damselH3207 to wifeH802.
And JacobH3290 heardH8085 that he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 his daughterH1323: now his sonsH1121 were with his cattleH4735 in the fieldH7704: and JacobH3290 held his peaceH2790 until they were comeH935.
And HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 went outH3318 unto JacobH3290 to communeH1696 withH854 him.
And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 out of the fieldH7704 when they heardH8085 it: and the menH582 were grievedH6087, and they were veryH3966 wrothH2734, because he had wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 in lyingH7901 with Jacob'sH3290 daughterH1323; which thing ought not to be doneH6213.
And HamorH2544 communedH1696 with them, sayingH559, The soulH5315 of my sonH1121 ShechemH7927 longethH2836 for your daughterH1323: I pray you giveH5414 her him to wifeH802.
And make ye marriagesH2859 with us, and giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto us, and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 unto you.
And ye shall dwellH3427 with us: and the landH776 shall beH1961 before youH6440; dwellH3427 and tradeH5503 ye therein, and get you possessionsH270 therein.
And ShechemH7927 saidH559 unto her fatherH1 and unto her brethrenH251, Let me findH4672 graceH2580 in your eyesH5869, and what ye shall sayH559 unto me I will giveH5414.
AskH7235 me never so muchH3966 dowryH4119 and giftH4976, and I will giveH5414 according as ye shall sayH559 unto me: but giveH5414 me the damselH5291 to wifeH802.
And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 deceitfullyH4820, and saidH1696, because he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 their sisterH269:
And they saidH559 unto them, We cannotH3808+H3201 doH6213 this thingH1697, to giveH5414 our sisterH269 to oneH376 that is uncircumcisedH6190; for that were a reproachH2781 unto us:
But in thisH2063 will we consentH225 unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every maleH2145 of you be circumcisedH4135;
Then will we giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 unto you, and we will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to us, and we will dwellH3427 with you, and we will become oneH259 peopleH5971.
But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto us, to be circumcisedH4135; then will we takeH3947 our daughterH1323, and we will be goneH1980.
And their wordsH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 HamorH2544, and ShechemH7927 Hamor'sH2544 sonH1121.
And the young manH5288 deferredH309 not to doH6213 the thingH1697, because he had delightH2654 in Jacob'sH3290 daughterH1323: and he was more honourableH3513 than all the houseH1004 of his fatherH1.
And HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 cameH935 unto the gateH8179 of their cityH5892, and communedH1696 with the menH582 of their cityH5892, sayingH559,
These menH582 are peaceableH8003 withH854 us; therefore let them dwellH3427 in the landH776, and tradeH5503 therein; for the landH776, behold, it is largeH7342 enoughH3027 for themH6440; let us takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 to us for wivesH802, and let us giveH5414 them our daughtersH1323.
Only hereinH2063 will the menH582 consentH225 unto us for to dwellH3427 with us, to be oneH259 peopleH5971, if every maleH2145 among us be circumcisedH4135, as they are circumcisedH4135.
Shall not their cattleH4735 and their substanceH7075 and every beastH929 of theirs be ours? only let us consentH225 unto them, and they will dwellH3427 with us.
And unto HamorH2544 and unto ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 hearkenedH8085 all that went outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892; and every maleH2145 was circumcisedH4135, all that went outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892.
And it came to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, when they were soreH3510, that twoH8147 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878, Dinah'sH1783 brethrenH251, tookH3947 each manH376 his swordH2719, and cameH935 upon the cityH5892 boldlyH983, and slewH2026 all the malesH2145.
And they slewH2026 HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and tookH3947 DinahH1783 outH3947 of Shechem'sH7927 houseH1004, and went outH3318. {edge: Heb. mouth}
The sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 upon the slainH2491, and spoiledH962 the cityH5892, because they had defiledH2930 their sisterH269.
They tookH3947 their sheepH6629, and their oxenH1241, and their assesH2543, and that which was in the cityH5892, and that which was in the fieldH7704,
And all their wealthH2428, and all their little onesH2945, and their wivesH802 took they captiveH7617, and spoiledH962 even all that was in the houseH1004.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 to SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878, Ye have troubledH5916 me to make me to stinkH887 among the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, among the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522: and I being fewH4962 in numberH4557, they shall gather themselves togetherH622 against me, and slay meH5221; and I shall be destroyedH8045, I and my houseH1004.
And they saidH559, Should he dealH6213 with our sisterH269 as with an harlotH2181?
To be discreetG4998, chasteG53, keepers at homeG3626, goodG18, obedientG5293 to their ownG2398 husbandsG435, thatG3363 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 beG987 notG3363 blasphemedG987.
