Genesis 24:31-44
-
31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
-
32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
-
33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
-
34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
-
35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
-
36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
-
37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
-
38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
-
39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
-
40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
-
41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
-
42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
-
43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
-
44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.
