And she went down to the
well and filled her pitcher and came up again. Then the servant
ran unto her and said: let me sip a little water of thy pitcher.
And she said: drink my lord. And she hasted and let down her
pitcher upon her arm and gave him drink. And when she had given
him drink, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, until
they have drunk enough. And she poured out her pitcher into the
trough hastily, and ran again unto the well, to fetch water: and
drew for all his camels. And the fellow wondered at her. But held
his peace, to wete whether the LORD had made his journey
prosperous or not. And as the camels had left drinking, he took an
earing of half a sicle weight, and two bracelets for her hands, of
ten sicles weight of gold, and said unto her: Whose daughter art
thou? tell me: is there room in thy father's house, for us to
lodge in? And she said unto him: I am the daughter of Bethuel the
son of Milkah which she bare unto Nahor: and said moreover unto
him: we have litter and provender enough and also room to lodge
in. And the man bowed himself and worshipped the LORD, and said:
blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham which ceaseth not to
deal mercifully and truly with my master.
