KJV_Strong : Genesis 24
1. And Abraham[H85] was old,[H2204] and well stricken[H935] in age:[H3117] and the LORD[H3068] had blessed[H1288] [H853] Abraham[H85] in all things.[H3605]
2. And Abraham[H85] said[H559] unto[H413] his eldest[H2205] servant[H5650] of his house,[H1004] that ruled[H4910] over all[H3605] that[H834] he had, Put,[H7760] I pray thee,[H4994] thy hand[H3027] under[H8478] my thigh: [H3409]
3. And I will make thee swear[H7650] by the LORD,[H3068] the God[H430] of heaven,[H8064] and the God[H430] of the earth,[H776] that[H834] thou shalt not[H3808] take[H3947] a wife[H802] unto my son[H1121] of the daughters[H4480] [H1323] of the Canaanites,[H3669] among[H7130] whom[H834] I[H595] dwell: [H3427]
4. But[H3588] thou shalt go[H1980] unto[H413] my country,[H776] and to[H413] my kindred,[H4138] and take[H3947] a wife[H802] unto my son[H1121] Isaac.[H3327]
5. And the servant[H5650] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Peradventure[H194] the woman[H802] will not[H3808] be willing[H14] to follow[H1980] [H310] me unto[H413] this[H2063] land:[H776] must I needs bring[H7725] [H7725] [H853] thy son[H1121] again unto[H413] the land[H776] from whence[H834] [H4480] [H8033] thou camest?[H3318]
6. And Abraham[H85] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Beware[H8104] thou that[H6435] thou bring[H7725] not[H853] my son[H1121] thither[H8033] again.
7. The LORD[H3068] God[H430] of heaven,[H8064] which[H834] took[H3947] me from my father's house,[H4480] [H1004] [H1] and from the land[H4480] [H776] of my kindred,[H4138] and which[H834] spoke[H1696] unto me, and that[H834] swore[H7650] unto me, saying,[H559] Unto thy seed[H2233] will I give[H5414] [H853] this[H2063] land;[H776] he[H1931] shall send[H7971] his angel[H4397] before[H6440] thee, and thou shalt take[H3947] a wife[H802] unto my son[H1121] from thence.[H4480] [H8033]
8. And if[H518] the woman[H802] will not[H3808] be willing[H14] to follow[H1980] [H310] thee, then thou shalt be clear[H5352] from this my oath:[H4480] [H7621] [H2063] only[H7535] bring[H7725] not[H3808] [H853] my son[H1121] thither[H8033] again.
9. And the servant[H5650] put[H7760] [H853] his hand[H3027] under[H8478] the thigh[H3409] of Abraham[H85] his master,[H113] and swore[H7650] to him concerning[H5921] that[H2088] matter.[H1697]
10. And the servant[H5650] took[H3947] ten[H6235] camels[H1581] of the camels[H4480] [H1581] of his master,[H113] and departed;[H1980] for all[H3605] the goods[H2898] of his master[H113] were in his hand:[H3027] and he arose,[H6965] and went[H1980] to[H413] Mesopotamia,[H763] unto[H413] the city[H5892] of Nahor.[H5152]
11. And he made his camels[H1581] to kneel down[H1288] without[H4480] [H2351] the city[H5892] by[H413] a well[H875] of water[H4325] at the time[H6256] of the evening,[H6153] even the time[H6256] that women go out[H3318] to draw[H7579] water.
12. And he said,[H559] O LORD[H3068] God[H430] of my master[H113] Abraham,[H85] I pray thee,[H4994] send me good speed[H7136] [H6440] this day,[H3117] and show[H6213] kindness[H2617] unto[H5973] my master[H113] Abraham.[H85]
13. Behold,[H2009] I[H595] stand[H5324] here by[H5921] the well[H5869] of water;[H4325] and the daughters[H1323] of the men[H376] of the city[H5892] come out[H3318] to draw[H7579] water: [H4325]
14. And let it come to pass,[H1961] that the damsel[H5291] to whom[H834] I shall say,[H559] [H413] Let down[H5186] thy pitcher,[H3537] I pray thee,[H4994] that I may drink;[H8354] and she shall say,[H559] Drink,[H8354] and I will give thy camels[H1581] drink[H8248] also:[H1571] let the same be she that thou hast appointed[H3198] for thy servant[H5650] Isaac;[H3327] and thereby shall I know[H3045] that[H3588] thou hast showed[H6213] kindness[H2617] unto[H5973] my master.[H113]
15. And it came to pass,[H1961] before[H2962] he[H1931] had done[H3615] speaking,[H1696] that, behold,[H2009] Rebekah[H7259] came out,[H3318] who[H834] was born[H3205] to Bethuel,[H1328] son[H1121] of Milcah,[H4435] the wife[H802] of Nahor,[H5152] Abraham's[H85] brother,[H251] with her pitcher[H3537] upon[H5921] her shoulder.[H7926]
16. And the damsel[H5291] was very[H3966] fair[H2896] to look upon,[H4758] a virgin,[H1330] neither[H3808] had any man[H376] known[H3045] her: and she went down[H3381] to the well,[H5869] and filled[H4390] her pitcher,[H3537] and came up.[H5927]
17. And the servant[H5650] ran[H7323] to meet[H7125] her, and said,[H559] Let me, I pray thee,[H4994] drink[H1572] a little[H4592] water[H4325] of thy pitcher.[H4480] [H3537]
18. And she said,[H559] Drink,[H8354] my lord:[H113] and she hasted,[H4116] and let down[H3381] her pitcher[H3537] upon[H5921] her hand,[H3027] and gave him drink.[H8248]
19. And when she had done[H3615] giving him drink,[H8248] she said,[H559] I will draw[H7579] water for thy camels[H1581] also,[H1571] until[H5704] [H518] they have done[H3615] drinking.[H8354]
20. And she hasted,[H4116] and emptied[H6168] her pitcher[H3537] into[H413] the trough,[H8268] and ran[H7323] again[H5750] unto[H413] the well[H875] to draw[H7579] water, and drew[H7579] for all[H3605] his camels.[H1581]
21. And the man[H376] wondering[H7583] at her held his peace,[H2790] to know[H3045] whether the LORD[H3068] had made his journey[H1870] prosperous[H6743] or[H518] not.[H3808]
22. And it came to pass,[H1961] as[H834] the camels[H1581] had done[H3615] drinking,[H8354] that the man[H376] took[H3947] a golden[H2091] earring[H5141] of half a shekel[H1235] weight,[H4948] and two[H8147] bracelets[H6781] for[H5921] her hands[H3027] of ten[H6235] shekels weight[H4948] of gold;[H2091]
23. And said,[H559] Whose[H4310] daughter[H1323] art thou?[H859] tell[H5046] me, I pray thee:[H4994] is there[H3426] room[H4725] in thy father's[H1] house[H1004] for us to lodge in?[H3885]
24. And she said[H559] unto[H413] him, I[H595] am the daughter[H1323] of Bethuel[H1328] the son[H1121] of Milcah,[H4435] which[H834] she bore[H3205] unto Nahor.[H5152]
25. She said[H559] moreover unto[H413] him, We have both[H1571] straw[H8401] and[H1571] provender[H4554] enough,[H7227] and[H1571] room[H4725] to lodge in.[H3885]
26. And the man[H376] bowed down his head,[H6915] and worshiped[H7812] the LORD.[H3068]
27. And he said,[H559] Blessed[H1288] be the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of my master[H113] Abraham,[H85] who[H834] hath not[H3808] left destitute[H5800] [H4480] [H5973] my master[H113] of his mercy[H2617] and his truth:[H571] I[H595] being in the way,[H1870] the LORD[H3068] led[H5148] me to the house[H1004] of my master's[H113] brethren.[H251]
28. And the damsel[H5291] ran,[H7323] and told[H5046] them of her mother's[H517] house[H1004] these[H428] things.[H1697]
29. And Rebekah[H7259] had a brother,[H251] and his name[H8034] was Laban:[H3837] and Laban[H3837] ran[H7323] out[H2351] unto[H413] the man,[H376] unto[H413] the well.[H5869]
30. And it came to pass,[H1961] when he saw[H7200] [H853] the earring[H5141] and bracelets[H6781] upon[H5921] his sister's[H269] hands,[H3027] and when he heard[H8085] [H853] the words[H1697] of Rebekah[H7259] his sister,[H269] saying,[H559] Thus[H3541] spoke[H1696] the man[H376] unto[H413] me; that he came[H935] unto[H413] the man;[H376] and, behold,[H2009] he stood[H5975] by[H5921] the camels[H1581] at[H5921] the well.[H5869]
31. And he said,[H559] Come in,[H935] thou blessed[H1288] of the LORD;[H3068] wherefore[H4100] standest[H5975] thou without?[H2351] for I[H595] have prepared[H6437] the house,[H1004] and room[H4725] for the camels.[H1581]
32. And the man[H376] came[H935] into the house:[H1004] and he ungirded[H6605] his camels,[H1581] and gave[H5414] straw[H8401] and provender[H4554] for the camels,[H1581] and water[H4325] to wash[H7364] his feet,[H7272] and the men's[H376] feet[H7272] that[H834] were with[H854] him.
33. And there was set[H7760] meat before[H6440] him to eat:[H398] but he said,[H559] I will not[H3808] eat,[H398] until[H5704] [H518] I have told[H1696] mine errand.[H1697] And he said,[H559] Speak on.[H1696]
34. And he said,[H559] I[H595] am Abraham's[H85] servant.[H5650]
35. And the LORD[H3068] hath blessed[H1288] [H853] my master[H113] greatly;[H3966] and he is become great:[H1431] and he hath given[H5414] him flocks,[H6629] and herds,[H1241] and silver,[H3701] and gold,[H2091] and menservants,[H5650] and maidservants,[H8198] and camels,[H1581] and asses.[H2543]
36. And Sarah[H8283] my master's[H113] wife[H802] bore[H3205] a son[H1121] to my master[H113] when[H310] she was old:[H2209] and unto him hath he given[H5414] [H853] all[H3605] that[H834] he hath.
37. And my master[H113] made me swear,[H7650] saying,[H559] Thou shalt not[H3808] take[H3947] a wife[H802] to my son[H1121] of the daughters[H4480] [H1323] of the Canaanites,[H3669] in whose[H834] land[H776] I[H595] dwell: [H3427]
38. But[H518] [H3808] thou shalt go[H1980] unto[H413] my father's[H1] house,[H1004] and to[H413] my kindred,[H4940] and take[H3947] a wife[H802] unto my son.[H1121]
39. And I said[H559] unto[H413] my master,[H113] Peradventure[H194] the woman[H802] will not[H3808] follow[H1980] [H310] me.
40. And he said[H559] unto[H413] me, The LORD,[H3068] before[H6440] whom[H834] I walk,[H1980] will send[H7971] his angel[H4397] with[H854] thee, and prosper[H6743] thy way;[H1870] and thou shalt take[H3947] a wife[H802] for my son[H1121] of my kindred,[H4480] [H4940] and of my father's house:[H4480] [H1004] [H1]
41. Then[H227] shalt thou be clear[H5352] from this my oath,[H4480] [H423] when[H3588] thou comest[H935] to[H413] my kindred;[H4940] and if[H518] they give[H5414] not[H3808] thee one, thou shalt be[H1961] clear[H5355] from my oath.[H4480] [H423]
42. And I came[H935] this day[H3117] unto[H413] the well,[H5869] and said,[H559] O LORD[H3068] God[H430] of my master[H113] Abraham,[H85] if[H518] now[H4994] thou do[H3426] prosper[H6743] my way[H1870] which[H834] [H5921] I[H595] go: [H1980]
43. Behold,[H2009] I[H595] stand[H5324] by[H5921] the well[H5869] of water;[H4325] and it shall come to pass,[H1961] that when the virgin[H5959] cometh forth[H3318] to draw[H7579] water, and I say[H559] to[H413] her, Give me, I pray thee,[H4994] a little[H4592] water[H4325] of thy pitcher[H4480] [H3537] to drink;[H8248]
44. And she say[H559] to[H413] me, Both[H1571] drink[H8354] thou,[H859] and I will also[H1571] draw[H7579] for thy camels:[H1581] let the same[H1931] be the woman[H802] whom[H834] the LORD[H3068] hath appointed out[H3198] for my master's[H113] son.[H1121]
45. And before[H2962] I[H589] had done[H3615] speaking[H1696] in[H413] mine heart,[H3820] behold,[H2009] Rebekah[H7259] came forth[H3318] with her pitcher[H3537] on[H5921] her shoulder;[H7926] and she went down[H3381] unto the well,[H5869] and drew[H7579] water: and I said[H559] unto[H413] her, Let me drink,[H8248] I pray thee.[H4994]
46. And she made haste,[H4116] and let down[H3381] her pitcher[H3537] from[H4480] [H5921] her shoulder, and said,[H559] Drink,[H8354] and I will give thy camels[H1581] drink[H8248] also:[H1571] so I drank,[H8354] and she made the camels[H1581] drink[H8354] also.[H1571]
47. And I asked[H7592] her, and said,[H559] Whose[H4310] daughter[H1323] art thou?[H859] And she said,[H559] The daughter[H1323] of Bethuel,[H1328] Nahor's[H5152] son,[H1121] whom[H834] Milcah[H4435] bore[H3205] unto him: and I put[H7760] the earring[H5141] upon[H5921] her face,[H639] and the bracelets[H6781] upon[H5921] her hands.[H3027]
48. And I bowed down my head,[H6915] and worshiped[H7812] the LORD,[H3068] and blessed[H1288] [H853] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of my master[H113] Abraham,[H85] which[H834] had led[H5148] me in the right[H571] way[H1870] to take[H3947] [H853] my master's[H113] brother's[H251] daughter[H1323] unto his son.[H1121]
49. And now[H6258] if[H518] ye will[H3426] deal[H6213] kindly[H2617] and truly[H571] with[H854] my master,[H113] tell[H5046] me: and if[H518] not,[H3808] tell[H5046] me; that I may turn[H6437] to[H5921] the right hand,[H3225] or[H176] to[H5921] the left.[H8040]
50. Then Laban[H3837] and Bethuel[H1328] answered[H6030] and said,[H559] The thing[H1697] proceedeth[H3318] from the LORD:[H4480] [H3068] we cannot[H3201] [H3808] speak[H1696] unto[H413] thee bad[H7451] or[H176] good.[H2896]
51. Behold,[H2009] Rebekah[H7259] is before[H6440] thee, take[H3947] her, and go,[H1980] and let her be[H1961] thy master's[H113] son's[H1121] wife,[H802] as[H834] the LORD[H3068] hath spoken.[H1696]
52. And it came to pass,[H1961] that, when[H834] Abraham's[H85] servant[H5650] heard[H8085] [H853] their words,[H1697] he worshiped[H7812] the LORD,[H3068] bowing himself to the earth.[H776]
53. And the servant[H5650] brought forth[H3318] jewels[H3627] of silver,[H3701] and jewels[H3627] of gold,[H2091] and raiment,[H899] and gave[H5414] them to Rebekah:[H7259] he gave[H5414] also to her brother[H251] and to her mother[H517] precious things.[H4030]
54. And they did eat[H398] and drink,[H8354] he[H1931] and the men[H376] that[H834] were with[H5973] him, and tarried all night;[H3885] and they rose up[H6965] in the morning,[H1242] and he said,[H559] Send me away[H7971] unto my master.[H113]
55. And her brother[H251] and her mother[H517] said,[H559] Let the damsel[H5291] abide[H3427] with[H854] us a few days,[H3117] at the least[H176] ten;[H6218] after that[H310] she shall go.[H1980]
56. And he said[H559] unto[H413] them, Hinder[H309] me not,[H408] seeing the LORD[H3068] hath prospered[H6743] my way;[H1870] send me away[H7971] that I may go[H1980] to my master.[H113]
57. And they said,[H559] We will call[H7121] the damsel,[H5291] and inquire[H7592] at[H853] her mouth.[H6310]
58. And they called[H7121] Rebekah,[H7259] and said[H559] unto[H413] her, Wilt thou go[H1980] with[H5973] this[H2088] man?[H376] And she said,[H559] I will go.[H1980]
59. And they sent away[H7971] [H853] Rebekah[H7259] their sister,[H269] and her nurse,[H3243] and Abraham's[H85] servant,[H5650] and his men.[H376]
60. And they blessed[H1288] [H853] Rebekah,[H7259] and said[H559] unto her,
61. And Rebekah[H7259] arose,[H6965] and her damsels,[H5291] and they rode[H7392] upon[H5921] the camels,[H1581] and followed[H1980] [H310] the man:[H376] and the servant[H5650] took[H3947] [H853] Rebekah,[H7259] and went his way.[H1980]
62. And Isaac[H3327] came[H935] from the way[H4480] [H935] of the well Lahai-roi;[H883] for he[H1931] dwelt[H3427] in the south[H5045] country.[H776]
63. And Isaac[H3327] went out[H3318] to meditate[H7742] in the field[H7704] at the eventide:[H6437] [H6153] and he lifted up[H5375] his eyes,[H5869] and saw,[H7200] and, behold,[H2009] the camels[H1581] were coming.[H935]
64. And Rebekah[H7259] lifted up[H5375] [H853] her eyes,[H5869] and when she saw[H7200] [H853] Isaac,[H3327] she lighted[H5307] off[H4480] [H5921] the camel.[H1581]
65. For she had said[H559] unto[H413] the servant,[H5650] What[H4310] man[H376] is this[H1976] that walketh[H1980] in the field[H7704] to meet[H7125] us? And the servant[H5650] had said,[H559] It[H1931] is my master:[H113] therefore she took[H3947] a veil,[H6809] and covered herself.[H3680]
