1: And AbrahamH0085 was old,H2204 [well] advancedH0935 in age-H3117 and YahwehH3068 had blessedH1288 -H0853 AbrahamH0085 in all things.H3605

2: So saidH0559 AbrahamH0085 toH0413 the servantH5650 oldestH2205 of his house,H1004 rulingH4910 over allH3605 thatH0834 put,H7760 please,H4994 your handH3027 underH8478 my thigh,H3409

3: and I will make you swearH7650 by Yahweh,H3068 the GodH0430 of heaven,H8064 and the GodH0430 of the earth,H0776 thatH0834 notH3808 you will takeH3947 a wifeH0802 for my sonH1121 from the daughtersH1323 of the Canaanite,H3669 whomH0834 IH0595 am dwellingH3427 among.H7130

4: ButH3588 toH0413 my country,H0776 and toH0413 my family,H4138 you shall go,H1980 and takeH3947 a wifeH0802 for my sonH1121 Isaac.H3327

5: And saidH0559 to himH0413 the servant,H5650 PerhapsH0194 notH3808 will be willingH0014 the womanH0802 to followH1980 meH0310 toH0413 the landH0776 this.H2063 Shall I then takeH7725 backH7725 -H0853 your sonH1121 toH0413 the landH0776 thatH0834 you cameH3318 from?H8033

6: but saidH0559 to himH0413 Abraham,H0085 BewareH8104 thatH6435 you do not takeH7725 -H0853 my sonH1121 back there.H8033

7: YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of heaven,H8064 whoH0834 took meH3947 from the houseH1004 of my fatherH0001 and from the landH0776 of my family,H4138 and whoH0834 spokeH1696 andH0834 sworeH7650 saying,H0559 to your descendantsH2233 I giveH5414 -H0853 landH0776 thisH2063 HeH1931 will sendH7971 His angelH4397 before you,H6440 and you shall takeH3947 a wifeH0802 for my sonH1121 from there.H8033

8: And ifH0518 notH3808 is willingH0014 the womanH0802 to followH1980 you,H0310 then you will be releasedH5352 from oath.H7621 thisH2063 OnlyH7535 -H0853 my sonH1121 notH3808 do takeH7725 back there.H8033

9: So putH7760 the servantH5650 -H0853 his handH3027 underH8478 the thighH3409 of AbrahamH0085 his master,H0113 and sworeH7650 concerningH5921 the matterH1697 this.H2088

10: And tookH3947 the servantH5650 tenH6235 camels H1581 from the camels H1581 of his master,H0113 and departedH1980 with allH3605 the goodsH2898 from his masterH0113 in his hand-H3027 and he arose,H6965 and wentH1980 toH0413 Mesopotamia,H0763 toH0413 the cityH5892 of Nahor.H5152

11: And he made kneel downH1288 his camels H1581 outsideH2351 the cityH5892 byH0413 a wellH0875 of waterH4325 at the timeH6256 of the evening,H6153 the timeH6256 [women] go outH3318 to draw [water].H7579

12: And he said,H0559 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of my masterH0113 Abraham,H0085 give successH7136 please,H4994 unto meH6440 today,H3117 and showH6213 kindnessH2617 toH5973 my masterH0113 Abraham.H0085

13: Behold,H2009 IH0595 stand [here]H5324 byH5921 the wellH5869 of water-H4325 and the daughtersH1323 of the menH0376 of the cityH5892 are coming outH3318 to drawH7579 water.H4325

14: And let it come to pass,H1961 that the girlH5291 whomH0834 I sayH0559 to,H0413 let downH5186 please,H4994 your pitcher,H3537 that I may drink-H8354 and she says,H0559 Drink,H8354 and alsoH1571 your camels H1581 I will waterH8248 [let] her [be the one]-H0853 You have appointedH3198 for Your servantH5650 Isaac-H3327 I will knowH3045 thatH3588 You have shownH6213 kindnessH2617 toH5973 my master.H0113

15: And it came to pass,H1961 heH1931 beforeH2962 had finishedH3615 speaking,H1696 that behold,H2009 RebekahH7259 came out,H3318 whoH0834 was bornH3205 to Bethuel,H1328 sonH1121 of Milcah,H4435 the wifeH0802 of Nahor,H5152 brotherH0251 of Abraham,H0085 and with her jarH3537 onH5921 her shoulder.H7926

16: Now the young woman [was]H5291 beautifulH2896 to beholdH4758 very,H3966 a virgin-H1330 and manH0376 noH3808 had known her,H3045 and she went downH3381 to the well,H5869 and filledH4390 her jar,H3537 and came up.H5927

17: And ranH7323 the servantH5650 to meet her,H7125 and said,H0559 let me drinkH1572 please,H4994 a littleH4592 waterH4325 from your jar.H3537

18: So she said,H0559 Drink,H8354 my lord-H0113 And she quickly,H4116 then let downH3381 her jarH3537 toH5921 her hand,H3027 and gave him a drink.H8248

19: And when she had finishedH3615 giving him a drink,H8248 then she said,H0559 alsoH1571 for your camels H1581 I will draw [water]H7579 untilH5704 whenH0518 they have finishedH3615 drinking.H8354

20: And she quickly,H4116 then emptiedH6168 her jarH3537 intoH0413 the trough,H8268 and ranH7323 backH5750 toH0413 the wellH0875 to draw [water]H7579 and drewH7579 for allH3605 his camels .H1581

21: And the manH0376 gazingH7583 remained silent,H2790 so as to knowH3045 whether had made prosperousH6743 YahwehH3068 his journeyH1870 orH0518 not.H3808

22: So it was,H1961 whenH0834 had finishedH3615 the camels H1581 drinking,H8354 that tookH3947 the manH0376 a ringH5141 golden,H2091 half a shekelH1235 weighing,H4948 and twoH8147 braceletsH6781 forH5921 her wristsH3027 ten [shekels]H6235 of goldH2091 weighing.H4948

23: And said,H0559 the daughterH1323 WhoseH4310 [are] you?H0859 TellH5046 please,H4994 is thereH3426 in the houseH1004 of your fatherH0001 roomH4725 to lodge?H3885

24: so she saidH0559 to him,H0413 the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 I [am],H0595 the sonH1121 of Milcah,H4435 whomH0834 she boreH3205 to Nahor.H5152

25: Then she saidH0559 to himH0413 bothH1571 strawH8401 andH1571 feedH4554 enoughH7227 we have,H5973 andH1571 roomH4725 to lodge.H3885

26: And bowed down his headH6915 the man,H0376 and worshipedH7812 Yahweh.H3068

27: And he said,H0559 Blessed [be]H1288 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of my masterH0113 Abraham,H0085 whoH0834 notH3808 has forsakenH5800 His mercyH2617 and His truthH0571 towardH5973 my master-H0113 IH0595 being on the way,H1870 led meH5148 YahwehH3068 to the houseH1004 of the brotherH0251 of my master.H0113

28: So ranH7323 the young womanH5291 and toldH5046 unto the houseH1004 of her motherH0517 thingsH1697 these.H0428

29: Now Rebekah hadH7259 a brother,H0251 whose name [was]H8034 Laban-H3837 and ran [out]H7323 LabanH3837 toH0413 the man,H0376 outH2351 untoH0413 the well.H5869

30: So it came to pass,H1961 when he sawH7200 -H0853 the ringH5141 andH0853 the braceletsH6781 onH5921 the handsH3027 on his sister,H0269 and when he heardH8085 -H0853 the wordsH1697 of RebekahH7259 his sister,H0269 saying,H0559 thusH3541 spokeH1696 to meH0413 the man.H0376 that he wentH0935 toH0413 the man,H0376 and there,H2009 he stoodH5975 byH5921 the camels H1581 atH5921 the well.H5869

31: And he said,H0559 come in,H0935 blessedH1288 of Yahweh-H3068 WhyH4100 do you standH5975 outside?H2351 for IH0595 have preparedH6437 the house,H1004 and a placeH4725 for the camels .H1581

32: And cameH0935 the manH0376 to the house,H1004 and he unloadedH6605 the camels ,H1581 and providedH5414 strawH8401 and feedH4554 for the camels ,H1581 and waterH4325 to washH7364 his feet,H7272 and the feetH7272 of the menH0582 who [were]H0834 with him.H0854 Then [a meal] was setH3455 before himH6440 to eat,H0398 but he said,H0559 notH3808 I will eat,H0398 untilH5704 thatH0518 I have declaredH1696 my errand.H1697 And he said,H0559 speak.H1696

34: So he said,H0559 servantH5650 Abraham'sH0085 I [am].H0595

35: YahwehH3068 has blessedH1288 -H0853 my masterH0113 greatly-H3966 and he has become great-H1431 And He has givenH5414 flocks ,H6629 and herds ,H1241 and silver,H3701 and gold,H2091 and menservants,H5650 and maidservants,H8198 and camels ,H1581 and donkeys .H2543

36: And boreH3205 SarahH8283 wifeH0802 of my masterH0113 a sonH1121 to my masterH0113 whenH0310 she was old-H2209 and he has givenH5414 -H0853 allH3605 thatH0834

37: And made me swearH7650 my master,H0113 saying,H0559 notH3808 you shall takeH3947 a wifeH0802 for my sonH1121 from the daughtersH1323 of the Canaanite,H3669 whoseH0834 IH0595 dwellH3427 in land.H0776

38: ButH0518 ratherH3808 toH0413 the houseH1004 of my fatherH0001 you shall go,H1980 and toH0413 my family,H4940 and takeH3947 a wifeH0802 for my son.H1121

39: And I saidH0559 toH0413 my master,H0113 PerhapsH0194 notH3808 will followH1980 the womanH0802 me.H0310

40: But he saidH0559 to me,H0413 Yahweh,H3068 whomH0834 I walkH1980 before,H6440 will sendH7971 His angelH4397 with youH0854 and prosperH6743 your way-H1870 and you shall takeH3947 a wifeH0802 for my sonH1121 from my family,H4940 and from the houseH1004 of my father.H0001

41: ThenH0227 you will be clearH5352 from this oath,H0423 whenH3588 you arriveH0935 amongH0413 my family-H4940 for ifH0518 notH3808 they will give [her]H5414 then you will beH1961 releasedH5355 from my oath.H0423

42: And I cameH0935 todayH3117 toH0413 the well,H5869 and said,H0559 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of my masterH0113 Abraham,H0085 ifH0518 YouH3426 onlyH4994 will prosperH6743 the way,H1870 in whichH0834 IH0595 walkH1980 upon.H5921

43: Behold,H2009 IH0595 standH5324 byH5921 the wellH5869 of water-H4325 and it shall come to pass that [when],H1961 the virginH5959 comes outH3318 to draw [water],H7579 and I sayH0559 to herH0413 give me to drink,H8248 please,H4994 a littleH4592 waterH4325 from your jar.H3537

44: And she saysH0559 to meH0413 bothH1571 youH0859 drink,H8354 and alsoH1571 for your camels H1581 I will draw,H7579 [may] she [be]H1931 the womanH0802 whomH0834 has appointedH3198 YahwehH3068 for the sonH1121 of my master.H0113

45: IH0589 but beforeH2962 had finishedH3615 speakingH1696 inH0413 my heart,H3820 behold,H2009 RebekahH7259 coming out,H3318 and with her jarH3537 onH5921 her shoulder-H7926 and she went downH3381 to the well,H5869 and drew [water]H7579 and I saidH0559 to herH0413 let me drink,H8248 please.H4994

46: And she made haste,H4116 and let downH3381 her jarH3537 from her [shoulder]H5921 and said,H0559 Drink,H8354 and alsoH1571 your camels H1581 I will give drink-H8248 So I drank,H8354 and also.H1571 The camels H1581 she gave a drink.H8248

47: And I askedH7592 herH0853 and said,H0559 the daughterH1323 of whomH4310 [are] you?H0859 and she said,H0559 the daughterH1323 of Bethuel,H1328 sonH1121 of Nahor,H5152 whomH0834 boreH3205 Milcah.H4435 So I putH7760 the ringH5141 onH5921 her nose,H0639 and the braceletsH6781 onH5921 her wrists.H3027

48: And I bowed my head,H6915 and worshipedH7812 Yahweh,H3068 and blessedH1288 -H0853 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of my masterH0113 Abraham,H0085 whoH0834 had led meH5148 in the wayH1870 of truth,H0571 to takeH3947 -H0853 the daughterH1323 of brotherH0251 of my masterH0113 for his son.H1121

49: NowH6258 ifH0518 you willH3426 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 and trulyH0571 withH0854 my master,H0113 tellH5046 and ifH0518 not,H3808 tellH5046 that I may turnH6437 toH5921 the right hand,H3225 orH0176 toH5921 the left.H8040

50: And answeredH6030 LabanH3837 and BethuelH1328 and said,H0559 from YahwehH3068 comesH3318 the matter-H1697 cannotH3808 weH3201 speakH1696 to youH0413 either badH7451 orH0176 good.H2896

51: Behold,H2009 RebekahH7259 before you-H6440 take [her]H3947 and go,H1980 and let her beH1961 wifeH0802 of the sonH1121 of your master,H0113 asH0834 has spokenH1696 Yahweh.H3068

52: And it came to pass,H1961 whenH0834 heardH8085 servantH5650 Abraham'sH0085 -H0853 their words,H1697 that he bowed downH7812 to the ground,H0776 Yahweh.H3068

53: And brought outH3318 the servantH5650 jewelsH3627 of silver,H3701 and jewelsH3627 of gold,H2091 and clothing,H0899 and gave [them]H5414 to Rebekah-H7259 and precious thingsH4030 He gaveH5414 to her brotherH0251 and to her mother.H0517

54: And ateH0398 and drank,H8354 heH1931 and the menH0376 who [were]H0834 with him,H5973 and spent the night there.H3885 And they aroseH6965 in the morning,H1242 and he said,H0559 Send me awayH7971 to my master.H0113

55: But said,H0559 her brotherH0251 and her mother,H0517 let stayH3427 the girlH5291 with usH0854 [a few] days,H3117 at leastH0176 ten-H6218 after [that]H0310 she may go.H1980

56: And he saidH0559 to themH0413 not,H0408 do hinderH0309 me,H0853 since YahwehH3068 has prosperedH6743 my way-H1870 send me awayH7971 so that I may goH1980 to my master.H0113

57: So they said,H0559 we will callH7121 the girl,H5291 and inquireH7592 at herH0853 mouth.H6310

58: And they calledH7121 RebekahH7259 and saidH0559 to her,H0413 will you goH1980 withH5973 manH0376 this?H2088 and she said,H0559 I will go.H1980

59: So they sent awayH7971 -H0853 RebekahH7259 their sister,H0269 andH0853 her nurse-H3243 andH0853 servantH5650 Abraham'sH0085 andH0853 his men.H0376

60: And they blessedH1288 -H0853 Rebekah,H7259 and saidH0559 Our sister,H0269 youH0859 may become [the mother]H1961 of thousandsH0505 of myriads,H7233 and may possessH3423 your descendantsH2233 -H0853 the gatesH8179 of those who hate them.H8130

61: And aroseH6965 RebekahH7259 and her servant girls,H5291 and they rodeH7392 onH5921 the camels ,H1581 andH1980 followedH0310 the man.H0376 So tookH3947 the servantH5650 -H0853 Rebekah,H7259 and departed.H1980

62: Now IsaacH3327 cameH0935 from goingH0935 Beer Lahai Roi-H0883 for heH1931 dweltH3427 inH0776 the Negev.H5045

63: And went outH3318 IsaacH3327 to meditateH7742 in the fieldH7704 inH6437 the evening-H6153 and he lifted upH5375 his eyes,H5869 and looked,H7200 and behold,H2009 the camels H1581 [were] coming.H0935

64: And lifted upH5375 RebekahH7259 -H0853 her eyes,H5869 and when she sawH7200 -H0853 Isaac,H3327 she got downH5307 fromH5921 her camel .H1581

65: For she had saidH0559 toH0413 the servant,H5650 who [is]H4310 manH0376 thisH1976 walkingH1980 in the fieldH7704 to meet us?H7125 and said,H0559 the servantH5650 it [is]H1931 my master.H0113 So she tookH3947 a veil,H6809 and covered herself.H3680

66: And toldH5608 the servantH5650 IsaacH3327 -H0853 allH3605 the thingsH1697 thatH0834 he had done.H6213

67: And brought her intoH0935 IsaacH3327 the tent,H0168 of SarahH8283 his mother,H0517 and he tookH3947 -H0853 Rebekah,H7259 and she becameH1961 wife-H0802 and he loved her,H0157 so was comfortedH5162 IsaacH3327 afterH0310 his mother's [death].H0517
