Summary
Genesis 24:15-20

24:11. When he had made the camels lie down outside the town, near a well of water, in the evening, at the time when women are wont to come out to draw water, he said,

24:12. "O Lord, the God of my master, Abraham, meet me today, I beseech you, and show kindness to my master, Abraham.

24:13. "Behold, I stand near the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will come out to draw water,

24:14. "Now, therefore, the maid to whom I shall say, 'Let down your pitcher that I may drink," and she shall answer, 'Drink, and I will give your camels drink also,' let it be the same whom you have provided for your servant Isaac, and by this I shall understand that you have shown kindness to my master."

24:15. He had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebekah came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife of Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder,

24:16. An exceeding comely maid, and a most beautiful virgin, and not known to man, and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher, and was coming back.

24:17. The servant ran to meet her, and said, "Give me a little water to drink of your pitcher."

'''24:18. She answered, "Drink, my lord." She quickly let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him a drink.'''

24:19. When he had drunk, she said, "I will draw water for your camels also, until they all drink."

24:20. Pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water, and having drawn, she gave to all the camels.
