ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,
 as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

 

 

GE-24:1 And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and


  • the LORD had
  • blessed Abraham in all things.
  • GE-24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house,
  • that ruled
  • over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
  • GE-24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of
  • heaven, and the
  • God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of
  • the daughters
  • of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
  • GE-24:4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred,
  • and take a wife
  • unto my son Isaac.
  • GE-24:5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman
  • will not be
  • willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son
  • again unto the
  • land from whence thou camest?
  • GE-24:6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring
  • not my son
  • thither again.
  • GE-24:7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's
  • house, and
  • from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that
  • sware unto me,
  • saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his
  • angel before
  • thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
  • GE-24:8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee,
  • then thou shalt
  • be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
  • GE-24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham
  • his master,
  • and sware to him concerning that matter.
  • GE-24:10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his
  • master, and
  • departed; for all the goods of his master [were] in his hand:
  • and he arose,
  • and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
  • GE-24:11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city
  • by a well of
  • water at the time of the evening, [even] the time that women go
  • out to draw
  • [water].
  • GE-24:12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray
  • thee, send me
  • good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.
  • GE-24:13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the
  • daughters of
  • the men of the city come out to draw water:
  • GE-24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I
  • shall say, Let
  • down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall
  • say, Drink, and
  • I will give thy camels drink also: [let the same be] she [that]
  • thou hast
  • appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that
  • thou hast
  • showed kindness unto my master.
  • GE-24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,
  • behold,
  • Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the
  • wife of Nahor,
  • Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
  • GE-24:16 And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin,
  • neither had
  • any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her
  • pitcher, and
  • came up.
  • GE-24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I
  • pray thee,
  • drink a little water of thy pitcher.
  • GE-24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let
  • down her
  • pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
  • GE-24:19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I
  • will draw
  • [water] for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
  • GE-24:20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the
  • trough, and ran
  • again unto the well to draw [water], and drew for all his camels.
  • GE-24:21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit
  • whether the LORD
  • had made his journey prosperous or not.
  • GE-24:22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking,
  • that the man
  • took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets
  • for her hands
  • of ten [shekels] weight of gold;
  • GE-24:23 And said, Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray
  • thee: is there
  • room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge in?
  • GE-24:24 And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel
  • the son of
  • Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
  • GE-24:25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and
  • provender enough,
  • and room to lodge in.
  • GE-24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the
  • LORD.
  • GE-24:27 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master
  • Abraham, who
  • hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I
  • [being] in the
  • way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
  • GE-24:28 And the damsel ran, and told [them of] her mother's
  • house these
  • things.
  • GE-24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban:
  • and Laban ran
  • out unto the man, unto the well.
  • GE-24:30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and
  • bracelets upon his
  • sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his
  • sister, saying,
  • Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and,
  • behold, he stood
  • by the camels at the well.
  • GE-24:31 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.
  • GE-24:32 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.
  • GE-24:33 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.
  • GE-24:34 And he said, I [am] Abraham's servant.
  • GE-24:35 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.
  • GE-24:36 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.
  • GE-24:37 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:
  • GE-24:38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my
  • kindred, and
  • take a wife unto my son.
  • GE-24:39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will
  • not follow
  • me.
  • GE-24:40 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:
  • GE-24:41 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.
  • GE-24:42 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:
  • GE-24:43 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;
  • GE-24:44 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.
  • GE-24:45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold,
  • Rebekah came
  • forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto
  • the well, and
  • drew [water]: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
  • GE-24:46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her
  • [shoulder],
  • and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I
  • drank, and she
  • made the camels drink also.
  • GE-24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [art] thou?
  • And she said,
  • The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him:
  • and I put the
  • earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
  • GE-24:48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and
  • blessed the
  • LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way
  • to take my
  • master's brother's daughter unto his son.
  • GE-24:49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my
  • master, tell me:
  • and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to
  • the left.
  • GE-24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing
  • proceedeth from
  • the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
  • GE-24:51 Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee, take [her], and go,
  • and let her be
  • thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
  • GE-24:52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant
  • heard their words,
  • he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the earth.
  • GE-24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and
  • jewels of gold,
  • and raiment, and gave [them] to Rebekah: he gave also to her
  • brother and to
  • her mother precious things.
  • GE-24:54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that [were]
  • with him, and
  • tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said,
  • Send me away
  • unto my master.
  • GE-24:55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel
  • abide with us [a
  • few] days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
  • GE-24:56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD
  • hath prospered
  • my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
  • GE-24:57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at
  • her mouth.
  • GE-24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou
  • go with this
  • man? And she said, I will go.
  • GE-24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse,
  • and
  • Abraham's servant, and his men.
  • GE-24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou
  • [art] our sister,
  • be thou [the mother] of thousands of millions, and let thy seed
  • possess the
  • gate of those which hate them.
  • GE-24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon
  • the camels,
  • and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his
  • way.
  • GE-24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for
  • he dwelt in
  • the south country.
  • GE-24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the
  • eventide: and he
  • lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels [were]
  • coming.
  • GE-24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac,
  • she lighted
  • off the camel.
  • GE-24:65 For she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is]
  • this that walketh
  • in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It [is] my
  • master:
  • therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.
  • GE-24:66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
  • GE-24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent,
  • and took
  • Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac
  • was comforted
  • after his mother's [death].
