And Abraham 85 was old, 2204-1 [and] well stricken 935-1 in age: 3117 and the LORD 3068 had blessed 1288-14 Abraham 85 in all things. |
| 2 |
And Abraham 85 said 559-4 unto his eldest 2205 servant 5650 of his house, 1004 that ruled 4910-6 over all that he had, Put, 7760-3 I pray thee, thy hand 3027 under my thigh: 3409 |
| 3 |
And I will make thee swear 7650-55 by the LORD, 3068 the God 430 of heaven, 8064 and the God 430 of the earth, 776 that thou shalt not take 3947-4 a wife 802 unto my son 1121 of the daughters 1323 of the Canaanites, 3669 among 7130 whom I dwell: 3427-6 |
| 4 |
But thou shalt go 3212-4 unto my country, 776 and to my kindred, 4138 and take 3947-1 a wife 802 unto my son 1121 Isaac. 3327 |
| 5 |
And the servant 5650 said 559-4 unto him, Peradventure the woman 802 will not be willing 14-4 to follow 3212-2 310 me unto this land: 776 must I needs bring 7725-55 thy son 1121 again 7725-53 unto the land 776 from whence thou camest? 3318-1 |
| 6 |
And Abraham 85 said 559-4 unto him, Beware 8104-10 thou that thou bring not 6435 my son 1121 thither again. 7725-55 |
| 7 |
The LORD 3068 God 430 of heaven, 8064 which took me 3947-1 from my father's 1 house, 1004 and from the land 776 of my kindred, 4138 and which spake 1696-14 unto me, and that sware 7650-8 unto me, saying, 559-2 Unto thy seed 2233 will I give 5414-4 this land; 776 he shall send 7971-4 his angel 4397 before 6440 thee, and thou shalt take 3947-1 a wife 802 unto my son 1121 from thence. |
| 8 |
And if the woman 802 will not be willing 14-4 to follow 3212-2 thee, 310 then thou shalt be clear 5352-8 from this my oath: 7621 only bring not my son 1121 thither again. 7725-55 |
| 9 |
And the servant 5650 put 7760-4 his hand 3027 under the thigh 3409 of Abraham 85 his master, 113 and sware 7650-11 to him concerning 5921 that 2088 matter. 1697 |
| 10 |
And the servant 5650 took 3947-4 ten 6235 camels 1581 of the camels 1581 of his master, 113 and departed; 3212-4 for all the goods 2898 of his master 113 [were] in his hand: 3027 and he arose, 6965-4 and went 3212-4 to Mesopotamia, 763 unto the city 5892 of Nahor. 5152 |
| 11 |
And he made his camels 1581 to kneel down 1288-55 without 2351 the city 5892 by 413 a well 875 of water 4325 at the time 6256 of the evening, 6153 [even] the time 6256 that women go out 3318-2 to draw 7579-6 [water]. |
| 12 |
And he said, 559-4 O LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham, 85 I pray thee, send me 6440 good speed 7136-54 this day, 3117 and shew 6213-3 kindness 2617 unto 5973 my master 113 Abraham. 85 |
| 13 |
Behold, I stand 5324-12 [here] by the well 5869 of water; 4325 and the daughters 1323 of the men 582 of the city 5892 come out 3318-6 to draw 7579-2 water: 4325 |
| 14 |
And let it come to pass, that the damsel 5291 to whom I shall say, 559-4 Let down 5186-54 thy pitcher, 3537 I pray thee, that I may drink; 8354-4 and she shall say, 559-1 Drink, 8354-3 and I will give thy camels 1581 drink 8248-55 also: [let the same be] she [that] thou hast appointed 3198-52 for thy servant 5650 Isaac; 3327 and thereby shall I know 3045-4 that thou hast shewed 6213-1 kindness 2617 unto my master. 113 |
| 15 |
And it came to pass, before he had done 3615-14 speaking, 1696-15 that, behold, Rebekah 7259 came out, 3318-6 who 834 was born 3205-27 to Bethuel, 1328 son 1121 of Milcah, 4435 the wife 802 of Nahor, 5152 Abraham's 85 brother, 251 with her pitcher 3537 upon her shoulder. 7926 |
| 16 |
And the damsel 5291 [was] very 3966 fair 2896 to look upon, 4758 a virgin, 1330 neither had any man 376 known 3045-1 her: and she went down 3381-4 to the well, 5869 and filled 4390-17 her pitcher, 3537 and came up. 5927-4 |
| 17 |
And the servant 5650 ran 7323-4 to meet 7125-2 her, and said, 559-4 Let me, I pray thee, drink 1572-54 a little 4592 water 4325 of thy pitcher. 3537 |
| 18 |
And she said, 559-4 Drink, 8354-3 my lord: 113 and she hasted, 4116-17 and let down 3381-55 her pitcher 3537 upon her hand, 3027 and gave him drink. 8248-55 |
| 19 |
And when she had done 3615-17 giving him drink, 8248-53 she said, 559-4 I will draw 7579-4 [water] for thy camels 1581 also, until they have done 3615-14 drinking. 8354-2 |
| 20 |
And she hasted, 4116-17 and emptied 6168-17 her pitcher 3537 into the trough, 8268 and ran 7323-4 again unto the well 875 to draw 7579-2 [water], and drew 7579-4 for all his camels. 1581 |
| 21 |
And the man 376 wondering 7583-102 at her held his peace, 2790-56 to wit 3045-2 whether the LORD 3068 had made his journey 1870 prosperous 6743-52 or 518 not. |
| 22 |
And it came to pass, as the camels 1581 had done 3615-14 drinking, 8354-2 that the man 376 took 3947-4 a golden 2091 earring 5141 of half a shekel 1235 weight, 4948 and two 8147 bracelets 6781 for her hands 3027 of ten 6235 [shekels] weight 4948 of gold; 2091 |
| 23 |
And said, 559-4 Whose 4310 daughter 1323 [art] thou? 859 tell 5046-54 me, I pray thee: is there 3426 room 4725 [in] thy father's 1 house 1004 for us to lodge in? 3885-2 |
| 24 |
And she said 559-4 unto him, I [am] the daughter 1323 of Bethuel 1328 the son 1121 of Milcah, 4435 which she bare 3205-1 unto Nahor. 5152 |
| 25 |
She said 559-4 moreover unto him, We have both 1571 straw 8401 and 1571 provender 4554 enough, 7227 and 1571 room 4725 to lodge in. 3885-2 |
| 26 |
And the man 376 bowed down his head, 6915-4 and worshipped 7812-101 the LORD. 3068 |
| 27 |
And he said, 559-4 Blessed 1288-7 [be] the LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham, 85 who hath not left destitute 5800-1 5973 my master 113 of his mercy 2617 and his truth: 571 I [being] in the way, 1870 the LORD 3068 led 5148-1 me to the house 1004 of my master's 113 brethren. 251 |
| 28 |
And the damsel 5291 ran, 7323-4 and told 5046-55 [them of] her mother's 517 house 1004 these things. 1697 |
| 29 |
And Rebekah 7259 had a brother, 251 and his name 8034 [was] Laban: 3837 and Laban 3837 ran 7323-4 out 2351 unto the man, 376 unto the well. 5869 |
| 30 |
And it came to pass, when he saw 7200-2 the earring 5141 and bracelets 6781 upon his sister's 269 hands, 3027 and when he heard 8085-2 the words 1697 of Rebekah 7259 his sister, 269 saying, 559-2 Thus 3541 spake 1696-14 the man 376 unto me; that he came 935-4 unto the man; 376 and, behold, he stood 5975-6 by 5921 the camels 1581 at the well. 5869 |
| 31 |
And he said, 559-4 Come in, 935-3 thou blessed 1288-7 of the LORD; 3068 wherefore standest 5975-4 thou without? 2351 for I have prepared 6437-14 the house, 1004 and room 4725 for the camels. 1581 |
| 32 |
And the man 376 came 935-4 into the house: 1004 and he ungirded 6605-17 his camels, 1581 and gave 5414-4 straw 8401 and provender 4554 for the camels, 1581 and water 4325 to wash 7364-2 his feet, 7272 and the men's 582 feet 7272 that [were] with him. |
| 33 |
And there was set 7760-93|3455-4-k [meat] before 6440 him to eat: 398-2 but he said, 559-4 I will not eat, 398-4 until I have told 1696-14 mine errand. 1697 And he said, 559-4 Speak on. 1696-16 |
| 34 |
And he said, 559-4 I [am] Abraham's 85 servant. 5650 |
| 35 |
And the LORD 3068 hath blessed 1288-14 my master 113 greatly; 3966 and he is become great: 1431-4 and he hath given 5414-4 him flocks, 6629 and herds, 1241 and silver, 3701 and gold, 2091 and menservants, 5650 and maidservants, 8198 and camels, 1581 and asses. 2543 |
| 36 |
And Sarah 8283 my master's 113 wife 802 bare 3205-4 a son 1121 to my master 113 when 310 she was old: 2209 and unto him hath he given 5414-4 all that he hath. |
| 37 |
And my master 113 made me swear, 7650-55 saying, 559-2 Thou shalt not take 3947-4 a wife 802 to my son 1121 of the daughters 1323 of the Canaanites, 3669 in whose land 776 I dwell: 3427-6 |
| 38 |
But 518 thou shalt go 3212-4 unto my father's 1 house, 1004 and to my kindred, 4940 and take 3947-1 a wife 802 unto my son. 1121 |
| 39 |
And I said 559-4 unto my master, 113 Peradventure the woman 802 will not follow 3212-4 310 me. |
| 40 |
And he said 559-4 unto me, The LORD, 3068 before 6440 whom I walk, 1980-98 will send 7971-4 his angel 4397 with thee, and prosper 6743-52 thy way; 1870 and thou shalt take 3947-1 a wife 802 for my son 1121 of my kindred, 4940 and of my father's 1 house: 1004 |
| 41 |
Then shalt thou be clear 5352-11 from [this] my oath, 423 when thou comest 935-4 to my kindred; 4940 and if they give 5414-4 not thee [one], thou shalt be clear 5355 from my oath. 423 |
| 42 |
And I came 935-4 this day 3117 unto the well, 5869 and said, 559-4 O LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham, 85 if now thou do 3426 prosper 6743-56 my way 1870 which I go: 1980-6 |
| 43 |
Behold, I stand 5324-12 by the well 5869 of water; 4325 and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin 5959 cometh forth 3318-6 to draw 7579-2 [water], and I say 559-1 to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little 4592 water 4325 of thy pitcher 3537 to drink; 8248-54 |
| 44 |
And she say 559-1 to me, Both drink 8354-3 thou, and I will also draw 7579-4 for thy camels: 1581 [let] the same [be] the woman 802 whom the LORD 3068 hath appointed 3198-52 out for my master's 113 son. 1121 |
| 45 |
And before I had done 3615-17 speaking 1696-15 in mine heart, 3820 behold, Rebekah 7259 came forth 3318-6 with her pitcher 3537 on her shoulder; 7926 and she went down 3381-4 unto the well, 5869 and drew 7579-4 [water]: and I said 559-4 unto her, Let me drink, 8248-54 I pray thee. |
| 46 |
And she made haste, 4116-17 and let down 3381-55 her pitcher 3537 from her [shoulder], and said, 559-4 Drink, 8354-3 and I will give thy camels 1581 drink 8248-55 also: so I drank, 8354-4 and she made the camels 1581 drink 8248-52 also. |
| 47 |
And I asked 7592-4 her, and said, 559-4 Whose daughter 1323 [art] thou? And she said, 559-4 The daughter 1323 of Bethuel, 1328 Nahor's 5152 son, 1121 whom Milcah 4435 bare 3205-1 unto him: and I put 7760-4 the earring 5141 upon her face, 639 and the bracelets 6781 upon her hands. 3027 |
| 48 |
And I bowed down my head, 6915-4 and worshipped 7812-101 the LORD, 3068 and blessed 1288-17 the LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham, 85 which had led 5148-52 me in the right 571 way 1870 to take 3947-2 my master's 113 brother's 251 daughter 1323 unto his son. 1121 |
| 49 |
And now if ye will 3426 deal 6213-6 kindly 2617 and truly 571 with my master, 113 tell 5046-54 me: and if not, tell 5046-54 me; that I may turn 6437-4 to the right hand, 3225 or 176 to the left. 8040 |
| 50 |
Then Laban 3837 and Bethuel 1328 answered 6030-4 and said, 559-4 The thing 1697 proceedeth 3318-1 from the LORD: 3068 we cannot 3808 3201-4 speak 1696-15 unto thee bad 7451 or 176 good. 2896 |
| 51 |
Behold, Rebekah 7259 [is] before 6440 thee, take 3947-3 [her], and go, 3212-3 and let her be thy master's 113 son's 1121 wife, 802 as the LORD 3068 hath spoken. 1696-14 |
| 52 |
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's 85 servant 5650 heard 8085-1 their words, 1697 he worshipped 7812-101 the LORD, 3068 [bowing himself] to the earth. 776 |
| 53 |
And the servant 5650 brought forth 3318-55 jewels 3627 of silver, 3701 and jewels 3627 of gold, 2091 and raiment, 899 and gave 5414-4 [them] to Rebekah: 7259 he gave 5414-1 also to her brother 251 and to her mother 517 precious things. 4030 |
| 54 |
And they did eat 398-4 and drink, 8354-4 he and the men 582 that [were] with him, and tarried all night; 3885-4 and they rose up 6965-4 in the morning, 1242 and he said, 559-4 Send me away 7971-16 unto my master. 113 |
| 55 |
And her brother 251 and her mother 517 said, 559-4 Let the damsel 5291 abide 3427-4 with us [a few] days, 3117 at the least 176 ten; 6218 after 310 that she shall go. 3212-4 |
| 56 |
And he said 559-4 unto them, Hinder 309-17 me not, seeing the LORD 3068 hath prospered 6743-52 my way; 1870 send me away 7971-16 that I may go 3212-4 to my master. 113 |
| 57 |
And they said, 559-4 We will call 7121-4 the damsel, 5291 and enquire 7592-4 at her mouth. 6310 |
| 58 |
And they called 7121-4 Rebekah, 7259 and said 559-4 unto her, Wilt thou go 3212-4 with this man? 376 And she said, 559-4 I will go. 3212-4 |
| 59 |
And they sent away 7971-17 Rebekah 7259 their sister, 269 and her nurse, 3243-56 and Abraham's 85 servant, 5650 and his men. 582 |
| 60 |
And they blessed 1288-17 Rebekah, 7259 and said 559-4 unto her, Thou 859 [art] our sister, 269 be thou 1961-3 [the mother] of thousands 505 of millions, 7233 and let thy seed 2233 possess 3423-4 the gate 8179 of those which hate 8130-6 them. |
| 61 |
And Rebekah 7259 arose, 6965-4 and her damsels, 5291 and they rode 7392-4 upon the camels, 1581 and followed 3212-4 310 the man: 376 and the servant 5650 took 3947-4 Rebekah, 7259 and went his way. 3212-4 |
| 62 |
And Isaac 3327 came 935-1 from the way 935-2 of the well Lahairoi; 883 for he dwelt 3427-6 in the south 5045 country. 776 |
| 63 |
And Isaac 3327 went out 3318-4 to meditate 7742-2 in the field 7704 at the eventide: 6437-2 6153 and he lifted up 5375-4 his eyes, 5869 and saw, 7200-4 and, behold, the camels 1581 [were] coming. 935-6 |
| 64 |
And Rebekah 7259 lifted up 5375-4 her eyes, 5869 and when she saw 7200-4 Isaac, 3327 she lighted 5307-4 off 5921 the camel. 1581 |
| 65 |
For she [had] said 559-4 unto the servant, 5650 What 4310 man 376 [is] this 1976 that walketh 1980-6 in the field 7704 to meet 7125-2 us? And the servant 5650 [had] said, 559-4 It [is] my master: 113 therefore she took 3947-4 a vail, 6809 and covered 3680-101 herself. |
| 66 |
And the servant 5650 told 5608-17 Isaac 3327 all things 1697 that he had done. 6213-1 |
| 67 |
And Isaac 3327 brought her 935-55 into his mother 517 Sarah's 8283 tent, 168 and took 3947-4 Rebekah, 7259 and she became his wife; 802 and he loved 157-4 her: and Isaac 3327 was comforted 5162-11 after 310 his mother's 517 [death]. |
