“O Lord, God of my master, Abraham,” he prayed [Abraham’s servant]. “Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham. I am standing here besides this spring, and the young women of the town are coming to draw water. This is my request. I will ask one of them, ‘Please give me a drink from your jug.’ If she says, ‘Yes, have a drink, and I will water your camels, too!’-let her be the one you have selected as Isaac’s wife. This is how I will know that You have shown unfailing love to my master.”
Before he had finished praying, he saw a young woman named Rebecca coming out with her jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Abraham’s brother Nahor and his wife, Milcah. Rebecca was very beautiful and old enough to be married, but she was still a virgin. She went down to the spring, filled her jug and came up again. Running over to her, the servant said, “Please give me a little drink of water from your jug.”
“Yes, my lord,” she answered, “have a drink.” And she quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and gave him a drink. When she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels, too, until they have had enough to drink.” So she quickly emptied her jug into the watering through and ran back to the well to draw water for all his camels. (vv. 12-20, NLT)
