Genesis 24

KJV

1  And Abraham⁸⁵ was old,²²⁰⁴ and well stricken⁹³⁵ in age:³¹¹⁷ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had blessed^{1288 853} Abraham⁸⁵ in all things.³⁶⁰⁵

2  And Abraham⁸⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his eldest²²⁰⁵ servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ that ruled⁴⁹¹⁰ over all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he had, Put,⁷⁷⁶⁰ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ thy hand³⁰²⁷ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ my thigh:³⁴⁰⁹

3  And I will make thee swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ by the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the God⁴³⁰ of heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and the God⁴³⁰ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ take³⁹⁴⁷ a wife⁸⁰² unto my son¹¹²¹ of the daughters^{4480 1323} of the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ among⁷¹³⁰ whom⁸³⁴ I⁵⁹⁵ dwell:³⁴²⁷

4  But³⁵⁸⁸ thou shalt go¹⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴¹³ my country,⁷⁷⁶ and to⁴¹³ my kindred,⁴¹³⁸ and take³⁹⁴⁷ a wife⁸⁰² unto my son¹¹²¹ Isaac.³³²⁷

5  And the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Peradventure¹⁹⁴ the woman⁸⁰² will not³⁸⁰⁸ be willing¹⁴ to follow^{1980 310} me unto⁴¹³ this²⁰⁶³ land:⁷⁷⁶ must I needs bring^{7725 7725 853} thy son¹¹²¹ again unto⁴¹³ the land⁷⁷⁶ from whence^{834 4480 8033} thou camest?³³¹⁸

6  And Abraham⁸⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Beware⁸¹⁰⁴ thou that⁶⁴³⁵ thou bring⁷⁷²⁵ not ⁸⁵³ my son¹¹²¹ thither⁸⁰³³ again.

7  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ which⁸³⁴ took³⁹⁴⁷ me from my father's house,^{4480 1004 1} and from the land^{4480 776} of my kindred,⁴¹³⁸ and which⁸³⁴ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto me, and that⁸³⁴ swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Unto thy seed²²³³ will I give^{5414 853} this²⁰⁶³ land;⁷⁷⁶ he¹⁹³¹ shall send⁷⁹⁷¹ his angel⁴³⁹⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, and thou shalt take³⁹⁴⁷ a wife⁸⁰² unto my son¹¹²¹ from thence.^{4480 8033}

8  And if⁵¹⁸ the woman⁸⁰² will not³⁸⁰⁸ be willing¹⁴ to follow^{1980 310} thee, then thou shalt be clear⁵³⁵² from this my oath:^{4480 7621 2063} only⁷⁵³⁵ bring⁷⁷²⁵ not^{3808 853} my son¹¹²¹ thither⁸⁰³³ again.

9  And the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ put^{7760 853} his hand³⁰²⁷ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ the thigh³⁴⁰⁹ of Abraham⁸⁵ his master,¹¹³ and swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ to him concerning⁵⁹²¹ that²⁰⁸⁸ matter.¹⁶⁹⁷

10  And the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ took³⁹⁴⁷ ten⁶²³⁵ camels¹⁵⁸¹ of the camels^{4480 1581} of his master,¹¹³ and departed;¹⁹⁸⁰ for all³⁶⁰⁵ the goods²⁸⁹⁸ of his master¹¹³ were in his hand:³⁰²⁷ and he arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Mesopotamia,⁷⁶³ unto⁴¹³ the city⁵⁸⁹² of Nahor.⁵¹⁵²

11  And he made his camels¹⁵⁸¹ to kneel down¹²⁸⁸ without^{4480 2351} the city⁵⁸⁹² by⁴¹³ a well⁸⁷⁵ of water⁴³²⁵ at the time⁶²⁵⁶ of the evening,⁶¹⁵³ even the time⁶²⁵⁶ that women go out³³¹⁸ to draw⁷⁵⁷⁹ water.

12  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of my master¹¹³ Abraham,⁸⁵ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ send me good speed^{7136 6440} this day,³¹¹⁷ and show⁶²¹³ kindness²⁶¹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ my master¹¹³ Abraham.⁸⁵

13  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ stand⁵³²⁴ here by⁵⁹²¹ the well⁵⁸⁶⁹ of water;⁴³²⁵ and the daughters¹³²³ of the men³⁷⁶ of the city⁵⁸⁹² come out³³¹⁸ to draw⁷⁵⁷⁹ water:⁴³²⁵

14  And let it come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that the damsel⁵²⁹¹ to whom⁸³⁴ I shall say,^{559 413} Let down⁵¹⁸⁶ thy pitcher,³⁵³⁷ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ that I may drink;⁸³⁵⁴ and she shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Drink,⁸³⁵⁴ and I will give thy camels¹⁵⁸¹ drink⁸²⁴⁸ also:¹⁵⁷¹ let the same be she that thou hast appointed³¹⁹⁸ for thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Isaac;³³²⁷ and thereby shall I know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast showed⁶²¹³ kindness²⁶¹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ my master.¹¹³

15  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ before²⁹⁶² he¹⁹³¹ had done³⁶¹⁵ speaking,¹⁶⁹⁶ that, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Rebekah⁷²⁵⁹ came out,³³¹⁸ who⁸³⁴ was born³²⁰⁵ to Bethuel,¹³²⁸ son¹¹²¹ of Milcah,⁴⁴³⁵ the wife⁸⁰² of Nahor,⁵¹⁵² Abraham's⁸⁵ brother,²⁵¹ with her pitcher³⁵³⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ her shoulder.⁷⁹²⁶

16  And the damsel⁵²⁹¹ was very³⁹⁶⁶ fair²⁸⁹⁶ to look upon,⁴⁷⁵⁸ a virgin,¹³³⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ had any man³⁷⁶ known³⁰⁴⁵ her: and she went down³³⁸¹ to the well,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and filled⁴³⁹⁰ her pitcher,³⁵³⁷ and came up.⁵⁹²⁷

17  And the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ ran⁷³²³ to meet⁷¹²⁵ her, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Let me, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ drink¹⁵⁷² a little⁴⁵⁹² water⁴³²⁵ of thy pitcher.^{4480 3537}

18  And she said,⁵⁵⁹ Drink,⁸³⁵⁴ my lord:¹¹³ and she hasted,⁴¹¹⁶ and let down³³⁸¹ her pitcher³⁵³⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ her hand,³⁰²⁷ and gave him drink.⁸²⁴⁸

19  And when she had done³⁶¹⁵ giving him drink,⁸²⁴⁸ she said,⁵⁵⁹ I will draw⁷⁵⁷⁹ water for thy camels¹⁵⁸¹ also,¹⁵⁷¹ until^{5704 518} they have done³⁶¹⁵ drinking.⁸³⁵⁴

20  And she hasted,⁴¹¹⁶ and emptied⁶¹⁶⁸ her pitcher³⁵³⁷ into⁴¹³ the trough,⁸²⁶⁸ and ran⁷³²³ again⁵⁷⁵⁰ unto⁴¹³ the well⁸⁷⁵ to draw⁷⁵⁷⁹ water, and drew⁷⁵⁷⁹ for all³⁶⁰⁵ his camels.¹⁵⁸¹

21  And the man³⁷⁶ wondering⁷⁵⁸³ at her held his peace,²⁷⁹⁰ to know³⁰⁴⁵ whether the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had made his journey¹⁸⁷⁰ prosperous⁶⁷⁴³ or⁵¹⁸ not.³⁸⁰⁸

22  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as⁸³⁴ the camels¹⁵⁸¹ had done³⁶¹⁵ drinking,⁸³⁵⁴ that the man³⁷⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ a golden²⁰⁹¹ earring⁵¹⁴¹ of half a shekel¹²³⁵ weight,⁴⁹⁴⁸ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ bracelets⁶⁷⁸¹ for⁵⁹²¹ her hands³⁰²⁷ of ten⁶²³⁵ shekels weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of gold;²⁰⁹¹

23  And said,⁵⁵⁹ Whose⁴³¹⁰ daughter¹³²³ art thou?⁸⁵⁹ tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me, I pray thee:⁴⁹⁹⁴ is there³⁴²⁶ room⁴⁷²⁵ in thy father's¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ for us to lodge in?³⁸⁸⁵

24  And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, I⁵⁹⁵ am the daughter¹³²³ of Bethuel¹³²⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Milcah,⁴⁴³⁵ which⁸³⁴ she bore³²⁰⁵ unto Nahor.⁵¹⁵²

25  She said⁵⁵⁹ moreover unto⁴¹³ him, We have both¹⁵⁷¹ straw⁸⁴⁰¹ and¹⁵⁷¹ provender⁴⁵⁵⁴ enough,⁷²²⁷ and¹⁵⁷¹ room⁴⁷²⁵ to lodge in.³⁸⁸⁵

26  And the man³⁷⁶ bowed down his head,⁶⁹¹⁵ and worshiped⁷⁸¹² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

27  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of my master¹¹³ Abraham,⁸⁵ who⁸³⁴ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ left destitute^{5800 4480 5973} my master¹¹³ of his mercy²⁶¹⁷ and his truth:⁵⁷¹ I⁵⁹⁵ being in the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ led⁵¹⁴⁸ me to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of my master's¹¹³ brethren.²⁵¹

28  And the damsel⁵²⁹¹ ran,⁷³²³ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ them of her mother's⁵¹⁷ house¹⁰⁰⁴ these⁴²⁸ things.¹⁶⁹⁷

29  And Rebekah⁷²⁵⁹ had a brother,²⁵¹ and his name⁸⁰³⁴ was Laban:³⁸³⁷ and Laban³⁸³⁷ ran⁷³²³ out²³⁵¹ unto⁴¹³ the man,³⁷⁶ unto⁴¹³ the well.⁵⁸⁶⁹

30  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when he saw^{7200 853} the earring⁵¹⁴¹ and bracelets⁶⁷⁸¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ his sister's²⁶⁹ hands,³⁰²⁷ and when he heard^{8085 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Rebekah⁷²⁵⁹ his sister,²⁶⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ the man³⁷⁶ unto⁴¹³ me; that he came⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ the man;³⁷⁶ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁵⁹²¹ the camels¹⁵⁸¹ at⁵⁹²¹ the well.⁵⁸⁶⁹

31  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Come in,⁹³⁵ thou blessed¹²⁸⁸ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ standest⁵⁹⁷⁵ thou without?²³⁵¹ for I⁵⁹⁵ have prepared⁶⁴³⁷ the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and room⁴⁷²⁵ for the camels.¹⁵⁸¹

32  And the man³⁷⁶ came⁹³⁵ into the house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and he ungirded⁶⁶⁰⁵ his camels,¹⁵⁸¹ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ straw⁸⁴⁰¹ and provender⁴⁵⁵⁴ for the camels,¹⁵⁸¹ and water⁴³²⁵ to wash⁷³⁶⁴ his feet,⁷²⁷² and the men's³⁷⁶ feet⁷²⁷² that⁸³⁴ were with⁸⁵⁴ him.

33  And there was set⁷⁷⁶⁰ meat before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him to eat:³⁹⁸ but he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ eat,³⁹⁸ until^{5704 518} I have told¹⁶⁹⁶ mine errand.¹⁶⁹⁷ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Speak on.¹⁶⁹⁶

34  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ am Abraham's⁸⁵ servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰

35  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath blessed^{1288 853} my master¹¹³ greatly;³⁹⁶⁶ and he is become great:¹⁴³¹ and he hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ 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 Sarah⁸²⁸³ my master's¹¹³ wife⁸⁰² bore³²⁰⁵ a son¹¹²¹ to my master¹¹³ when³¹⁰ she was old:²²⁰⁹ and unto him hath he given^{5414 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he hath.

37  And my master¹¹³ made me swear,⁷⁶⁵⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ take³⁹⁴⁷ a wife⁸⁰² to my son¹¹²¹ of the daughters^{4480 1323} of the Canaanites,³⁶⁶⁹ in whose⁸³⁴ land⁷⁷⁶ I⁵⁹⁵ dwell:³⁴²⁷

38  But^{518 3808} thou shalt go¹⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴¹³ my father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and to⁴¹³ my kindred,⁴⁹⁴⁰ and take³⁹⁴⁷ a wife⁸⁰² unto my son.¹¹²¹

39  And I said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ my master,¹¹³ Peradventure¹⁹⁴ the woman⁸⁰² will not³⁸⁰⁸ follow^{1980 310} me.

40  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, The LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ whom⁸³⁴ I walk,¹⁹⁸⁰ will send⁷⁹⁷¹ his angel⁴³⁹⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ thee, and prosper⁶⁷⁴³ thy way;¹⁸⁷⁰ and thou shalt take³⁹⁴⁷ a wife⁸⁰² for my son¹¹²¹ of my kindred,^{4480 4940} and of my father's house:^{4480 1004 1}

41  Then²²⁷ shalt thou be clear⁵³⁵² from this my oath,^{4480 423} when³⁵⁸⁸ thou comest⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ my kindred;⁴⁹⁴⁰ and if⁵¹⁸ they give⁵⁴¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ thee one, thou shalt be¹⁹⁶¹ clear⁵³⁵⁵ from my oath.^{4480 423}

42  And I came⁹³⁵ this day³¹¹⁷ unto⁴¹³ the well,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of my master¹¹³ Abraham,⁸⁵ if⁵¹⁸ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ thou do³⁴²⁶ prosper⁶⁷⁴³ my way¹⁸⁷⁰ which^{834 5921} I⁵⁹⁵ go:¹⁹⁸⁰

43  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ stand⁵³²⁴ by⁵⁹²¹ the well⁵⁸⁶⁹ of water;⁴³²⁵ and it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that when the virgin⁵⁹⁵⁹ cometh forth³³¹⁸ to draw⁷⁵⁷⁹ water, and I say⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ her, Give me, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ a little⁴⁵⁹² water⁴³²⁵ of thy pitcher^{4480 3537} to drink;⁸²⁴⁸

44  And she say⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ me, Both¹⁵⁷¹ drink⁸³⁵⁴ thou,⁸⁵⁹ and I will also¹⁵⁷¹ draw⁷⁵⁷⁹ for thy camels:¹⁵⁸¹ let the same¹⁹³¹ be the woman⁸⁰² whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath appointed out³¹⁹⁸ for my master's¹¹³ son.¹¹²¹

45  And before²⁹⁶² I⁵⁸⁹ had done³⁶¹⁵ speaking¹⁶⁹⁶ in⁴¹³ mine heart,³⁸²⁰ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Rebekah⁷²⁵⁹ came forth³³¹⁸ with her pitcher³⁵³⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ her shoulder;⁷⁹²⁶ and she went down³³⁸¹ unto the well,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and drew⁷⁵⁷⁹ water: and I said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ her, Let me drink,⁸²⁴⁸ I pray thee.⁴⁹⁹⁴

46  And she made haste,⁴¹¹⁶ and let down³³⁸¹ her pitcher³⁵³⁷ from^{4480 5921} her shoulder, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Drink,⁸³⁵⁴ and I will give thy camels¹⁵⁸¹ drink⁸²⁴⁸ also:¹⁵⁷¹ so I drank,⁸³⁵⁴ and she made the camels¹⁵⁸¹ drink⁸³⁵⁴ also.¹⁵⁷¹

47  And I asked⁷⁵⁹² her, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Whose⁴³¹⁰ daughter¹³²³ art thou?⁸⁵⁹ And she said,⁵⁵⁹ The daughter¹³²³ of Bethuel,¹³²⁸ Nahor's⁵¹⁵² son,¹¹²¹ whom⁸³⁴ Milcah⁴⁴³⁵ bore³²⁰⁵ unto him: and I put⁷⁷⁶⁰ the earring⁵¹⁴¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ her face,⁶³⁹ and the bracelets⁶⁷⁸¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ her hands.³⁰²⁷

48  And I bowed down my head,⁶⁹¹⁵ and worshiped⁷⁸¹² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and blessed^{1288 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of my master¹¹³ Abraham,⁸⁵ which⁸³⁴ had led⁵¹⁴⁸ me in the right⁵⁷¹ way¹⁸⁷⁰ to take^{3947 853} my master's¹¹³ brother's²⁵¹ daughter¹³²³ unto his son.¹¹²¹

49  And now⁶²⁵⁸ if⁵¹⁸ ye will³⁴²⁶ deal⁶²¹³ kindly²⁶¹⁷ and truly⁵⁷¹ with⁸⁵⁴ my master,¹¹³ tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me: and if⁵¹⁸ not,³⁸⁰⁸ tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me; that I may turn⁶⁴³⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ the right hand,³²²⁵ or¹⁷⁶ to⁵⁹²¹ the left.⁸⁰⁴⁰

50  Then Laban³⁸³⁷ and Bethuel¹³²⁸ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ The thing¹⁶⁹⁷ proceedeth³³¹⁸ from the LORD:^{4480 3068} we cannot^{3201 3808} speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ thee bad⁷⁴⁵¹ or¹⁷⁶ good.²⁸⁹⁶

51  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Rebekah⁷²⁵⁹ is before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, take³⁹⁴⁷ her, and go,¹⁹⁸⁰ and let her be¹⁹⁶¹ thy master's¹¹³ son's¹¹²¹ wife,⁸⁰² as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken.¹⁶⁹⁶

52  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that, when⁸³⁴ Abraham's⁸⁵ servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ heard^{8085 853} their words,¹⁶⁹⁷ he worshiped⁷⁸¹² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ bowing himself to the earth.⁷⁷⁶

53  And the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ brought forth³³¹⁸ jewels³⁶²⁷ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and jewels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and raiment,⁸⁹⁹ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them to Rebekah:⁷²⁵⁹ he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ also to her brother²⁵¹ and to her mother⁵¹⁷ precious things.⁴⁰³⁰

54  And they did eat³⁹⁸ and drink,⁸³⁵⁴ he¹⁹³¹ and the men³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ were with⁵⁹⁷³ him, and tarried all night;³⁸⁸⁵ and they rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Send me away⁷⁹⁷¹ unto my master.¹¹³

55  And her brother²⁵¹ and her mother⁵¹⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ Let the damsel⁵²⁹¹ abide³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ us a few days,³¹¹⁷ at the least¹⁷⁶ ten;⁶²¹⁸ after that³¹⁰ she shall go.¹⁹⁸⁰

56  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Hinder³⁰⁹ me not,⁴⁰⁸ seeing the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath prospered⁶⁷⁴³ my way;¹⁸⁷⁰ send me away⁷⁹⁷¹ that I may go¹⁹⁸⁰ to my master.¹¹³

57  And they said,⁵⁵⁹ We will call⁷¹²¹ the damsel,⁵²⁹¹ and inquire⁷⁵⁹² at ⁸⁵³ her mouth.⁶³¹⁰

58  And they called⁷¹²¹ Rebekah,⁷²⁵⁹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ her, Wilt thou go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ this²⁰⁸⁸ man?³⁷⁶ And she said,⁵⁵⁹ I will go.¹⁹⁸⁰

59  And they sent away^{7971 853} Rebekah⁷²⁵⁹ their sister,²⁶⁹ and her nurse,³²⁴³ and Abraham's⁸⁵ servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and his men.³⁷⁶

60  And they blessed^{1288 853} Rebekah,⁷²⁵⁹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto her, Thou⁸⁵⁹ art our sister,²⁶⁹ be¹⁹⁶¹ thou the mother of thousands⁵⁰⁵ of millions,⁷²³³ and let thy seed²²³³ possess^{3423 853} the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of those which hate⁸¹³⁰ them.

61  And Rebekah⁷²⁵⁹ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and her damsels,⁵²⁹¹ and they rode⁷³⁹² upon⁵⁹²¹ the camels,¹⁵⁸¹ and followed^{1980 310} the man:³⁷⁶ and the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ took^{3947 853} Rebekah,⁷²⁵⁹ and went his way.¹⁹⁸⁰

62  And Isaac³³²⁷ came⁹³⁵ from the way^{4480 935} of the well Lahai-roi;⁸⁸³ for he¹⁹³¹ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ country.⁷⁷⁶

63  And Isaac³³²⁷ went out³³¹⁸ to meditate⁷⁷⁴² in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ at the eventide:^{6437 6153} and he lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ his eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and saw,⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the camels¹⁵⁸¹ were coming.⁹³⁵

64  And Rebekah⁷²⁵⁹ lifted up^{5375 853} her eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and when she saw^{7200 853} Isaac,³³²⁷ she lighted⁵³⁰⁷ off^{4480 5921} the camel.¹⁵⁸¹

65  For she had said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ What⁴³¹⁰ man³⁷⁶ is this¹⁹⁷⁶ that walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ to meet⁷¹²⁵ us? And the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ had said,⁵⁵⁹ It¹⁹³¹ is my master:¹¹³ therefore she took³⁹⁴⁷ a veil,⁶⁸⁰⁹ and covered herself.³⁶⁸⁰

66  And the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ told⁵⁶⁰⁸ Isaac^{3327 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ things¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ he had done.⁶²¹³

67  And Isaac³³²⁷ brought⁹³⁵ her into his mother⁵¹⁷ Sarah's⁸²⁸³ tent,¹⁶⁸ and took^{3947 853} Rebekah,⁷²⁵⁹ and she became¹⁹⁶¹ his wife;⁸⁰² and he loved¹⁵⁷ her: and Isaac³³²⁷ was comforted⁵¹⁶² after³¹⁰ his mother's⁵¹⁷ death.

1 καὶ Αβρααμ ἦν πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκὼς ἡμερῶν καὶ κύριος εὐλόγησεν τὸν Αβρααμ κατὰ πάντα

2 καὶ εἶπεν Αβρααμ τῷ παιδὶ αὐτοῦ τῷ πρεσβυτέρῳ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ τῷ ἄρχοντι πάντων τῶν αὐτοῦ θὲς τὴν χεῖρά σου ὑπὸ τὸν μηρόν μου

3 καὶ ἐξορκιῶ σε κύριον τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τὸν θεὸν τῆς γῆς ἵνα μὴ λάβῃς γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ισαακ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων μεθ᾽ ὧν ἐγὼ οἰκῶ ἐν αὐτοῖς

4 ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου οὗ ἐγενόμην πορεύσῃ καὶ εἰς τὴν φυλήν μου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ισαακ ἐκεῖθεν

5 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ παῖς μήποτε οὐ βούλεται ἡ γυνὴ πορευθῆναι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ὀπίσω εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἀποστρέψω τὸν υἱόν σου εἰς τὴν γῆν ὅθεν ἐξῆλθες ἐκεῖθεν

6 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν Αβρααμ πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸν υἱόν μου ἐκεῖ

7 κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὁ θεὸς τῆς γῆς ὃς ἔλαβέν με ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἐγενήθην ὃς ἐλάλησέν μοι καὶ ὤμοσέν μοι λέγων σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου αὐτὸς ἀποστελεῖ τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ ἔμπροσθέν σου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου Ισαακ ἐκεῖθεν

8 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ θέλῃ ἡ γυνὴ πορευθῆναι μετὰ σοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην καθαρὸς ἔσῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὅρκου τούτου μόνον τὸν υἱόν μου μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς ἐκεῖ

9 καὶ ἔθηκεν ὁ παῖς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὑπὸ τὸν μηρὸν Αβρααμ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος τούτου

10 καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ παῖς δέκα καμήλους ἀπὸ τῶν καμήλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ μεθ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν Ναχωρ

11 καὶ ἐκοίμισεν τὰς καμήλους ἔξω τῆς πόλεως παρὰ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὕδατος τὸ πρὸς ὀψέ ἡνίκα ἐκπορεύονται αἱ ὑδρευόμεναι

12 καὶ εἶπεν κύριε ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ εὐόδωσον ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ σήμερον καὶ ποίησον ἔλεος μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ

13 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος αἱ δὲ θυγατέρες τῶν οἰκούντων τὴν πόλιν ἐκπορεύονται ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ

14 καὶ ἔσται ἡ παρθένος ᾗ ἂν ἐγὼ εἴπω ἐπίκλινον τὴν ὑδρίαν σου ἵνα πίω καὶ εἴπῃ μοι πίε καὶ τὰς καμήλους σου ποτιῶ ἕως ἂν παύσωνται πίνουσαι ταύτην ἡτοίμασας τῷ παιδί σου Ισαακ καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι ἐποίησας ἔλεος τῷ κυρίῳ μου Αβρααμ

15 καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸ τοῦ συντελέσαι αὐτὸν λαλοῦντα ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ καὶ ἰδοὺ Ρεβεκκα ἐξεπορεύετο ἡ τεχθεῖσα Βαθουηλ υἱῷ Μελχας τῆς γυναικὸς Ναχωρ ἀδελφοῦ δὲ Αβρααμ ἔχουσα τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτῆς

16 ἡ δὲ παρθένος ἦν καλὴ τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα παρθένος ἦν ἀνὴρ οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτήν καταβᾶσα δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν ἔπλησεν τὴν ὑδρίαν καὶ ἀνέβη

17 ἐπέδραμεν δὲ ὁ παῖς εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν πότισόν με μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου

18 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν πίε κύριε καὶ ἔσπευσεν καὶ καθεῖλεν τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονα αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτόν

19 ἕως ἐπαύσατο πίνων καὶ εἶπεν καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι ἕως ἂν πᾶσαι πίωσιν

20 καὶ ἔσπευσεν καὶ ἐξεκένωσεν τὴν ὑδρίαν εἰς τὸ ποτιστήριον καὶ ἔδραμεν ἔτι ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἀντλῆσαι καὶ ὑδρεύσατο πάσαις ταῖς καμήλοις

21 ὁ δὲ ἄνθρωπος κατεμάνθανεν αὐτὴν καὶ παρεσιώπα τοῦ γνῶναι εἰ εὐόδωκεν κύριος τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ οὔ

22 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἐπαύσαντο πᾶσαι αἱ κάμηλοι πίνουσαι ἔλαβεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐνώτια χρυσᾶ ἀνὰ δραχμὴν ὁλκῆς καὶ δύο ψέλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς δέκα χρυσῶν ὁλκὴ αὐτῶν

23 καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπεν θυγάτηρ τίνος εἶ ἀνάγγειλόν μοι εἰ ἔστιν παρὰ τῷ πατρί σου τόπος ἡμῖν καταλῦσαι

24 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ θυγάτηρ Βαθουηλ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ τοῦ Μελχας ὃν ἔτεκεν τῷ Ναχωρ

25 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἄχυρα καὶ χορτάσματα πολλὰ παρ᾽ ἡμῖν καὶ τόπος τοῦ καταλῦσαι

26 καὶ εὐδοκήσας ὁ ἄνθρωπος προσεκύνησεν κυρίῳ

27 καὶ εἶπεν εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ ὃς οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπεν τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου μου ἐμὲ εὐόδωκεν κύριος εἰς οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου

28 καὶ δραμοῦσα ἡ παῖς ἀπήγγειλεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα

29 τῇ δὲ Ρεβεκκα ἀδελφὸς ἦν ᾧ ὄνομα Λαβαν καὶ ἔδραμεν Λαβαν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἔξω ἐπὶ τὴν πηγήν

30 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα εἶδεν τὰ ἐνώτια καὶ τὰ ψέλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅτε ἤκουσεν τὰ ῥήματα Ρεβεκκας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτοῦ λεγούσης οὕτως λελάληκέν μοι ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκότος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν καμήλων ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς

31 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ δεῦρο εἴσελθε εὐλογητὸς κύριος ἵνα τί ἕστηκας ἔξω ἐγὼ δὲ ἡτοίμακα τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ τόπον ταῖς καμήλοις

32 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ἀπέσαξεν τὰς καμήλους καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄχυρα καὶ χορτάσματα ταῖς καμήλοις καὶ ὕδωρ νίψασθαι τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς ποσὶν τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

33 καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ἄρτους φαγεῖν καὶ εἶπεν οὐ μὴ φάγω ἕως τοῦ λαλῆσαί με τὰ ῥήματά μου καὶ εἶπαν λάλησον

34 καὶ εἶπεν παῖς Αβρααμ ἐγώ εἰμι

35 κύριος δὲ εὐλόγησεν τὸν κύριόν μου σφόδρα καὶ ὑψώθη καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας καμήλους καὶ ὄνους

36 καὶ ἔτεκεν Σαρρα ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ κυρίου μου υἱὸν ἕνα τῷ κυρίῳ μου μετὰ τὸ γηρᾶσαι αὐτόν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὅσα ἦν αὐτῷ

37 καὶ ὥρκισέν με ὁ κύριός μου λέγων οὐ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων τῶν Χαναναίων ἐν οἷς ἐγὼ παροικῶ ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν

38 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου πορεύσῃ καὶ εἰς τὴν φυλήν μου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἐκεῖθεν

39 εἶπα δὲ τῷ κυρίῳ μου μήποτε οὐ πορεύσεται ἡ γυνὴ μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ

40 καὶ εἶπέν μοι κύριος ᾧ εὐηρέστησα ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ αὐτὸς ἀποστελεῖ τὸν ἄγγελον αὐτοῦ μετὰ σοῦ καὶ εὐοδώσει τὴν ὁδόν σου καὶ λήμψῃ γυναῖκα τῷ υἱῷ μου ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς μου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου

41 τότε ἀθῷος ἔσῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρᾶς μου ἡνίκα γὰρ ἐὰν ἔλθῃς εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν φυλὴν καὶ μή σοι δῶσιν καὶ ἔσῃ ἀθῷος ἀπὸ τοῦ ὁρκισμοῦ μου

42 καὶ ἐλθὼν σήμερον ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν εἶπα κύριε ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ εἰ σὺ εὐοδοῖς τὴν ὁδόν μου ἣν νῦν ἐγὼ πορεύομαι ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν

43 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐφέστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῆς πόλεως ἐξελεύσονται ὑδρεύσασθαι ὕδωρ καὶ ἔσται ἡ παρθένος ᾗ ἂν ἐγὼ εἴπω πότισόν με μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου

44 καὶ εἴπῃ μοι καὶ σὺ πίε καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι αὕτη ἡ γυνή ἣν ἡτοίμασεν κύριος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ θεράποντι Ισαακ καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι πεποίηκας ἔλεος τῷ κυρίῳ μου Αβρααμ

45 καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸ τοῦ συντελέσαι με λαλοῦντα ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ εὐθὺς Ρεβεκκα ἐξεπορεύετο ἔχουσα τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων καὶ κατέβη ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν καὶ ὑδρεύσατο εἶπα δὲ αὐτῇ πότισόν με

46 καὶ σπεύσασα καθεῖλεν τὴν ὑδρίαν αὐτῆς ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς καὶ εἶπεν πίε σύ καὶ τὰς καμήλους σου ποτιῶ καὶ ἔπιον καὶ τὰς καμήλους μου ἐπότισεν

47 καὶ ἠρώτησα αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπα τίνος εἶ θυγάτηρ ἡ δὲ ἔφη θυγάτηρ Βαθουηλ εἰμὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ναχωρ ὃν ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Μελχα καὶ περιέθηκα αὐτῇ τὰ ἐνώτια καὶ τὰ ψέλια περὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς

48 καὶ εὐδοκήσας προσεκύνησα κυρίῳ καὶ εὐλόγησα κύριον τὸν θεὸν τοῦ κυρίου μου Αβρααμ ὃς εὐόδωσέν μοι ἐν ὁδῷ ἀληθείας λαβεῖν τὴν θυγατέρα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ κυρίου μου τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ

49 εἰ οὖν ποιεῖτε ὑμεῖς ἔλεος καὶ δικαιοσύνην πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου ἀπαγγείλατέ μοι εἰ δὲ μή ἀπαγγείλατέ μοι ἵνα ἐπιστρέψω εἰς δεξιὰν ἢ εἰς ἀριστεράν

50 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Λαβαν καὶ Βαθουηλ εἶπαν παρὰ κυρίου ἐξῆλθεν τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦτο οὐ δυνησόμεθα οὖν σοι ἀντειπεῖν κακὸν καλῷ

51 ἰδοὺ Ρεβεκκα ἐνώπιόν σου λαβὼν ἀπότρεχε καὶ ἔστω γυνὴ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ κυρίου σου καθὰ ἐλάλησεν κύριος

52 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν παῖδα τὸν Αβρααμ τῶν ῥημάτων τούτων προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν κυρίῳ

53 καὶ ἐξενέγκας ὁ παῖς σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ χρυσᾶ καὶ ἱματισμὸν ἔδωκεν Ρεβεκκα καὶ δῶρα ἔδωκεν τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτῆς καὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς

54 καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὄντες καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν καὶ ἀναστὰς πρωὶ εἶπεν ἐκπέμψατέ με ἵνα ἀπέλθω πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου

55 εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῆς καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μεινάτω ἡ παρθένος μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ἡμέρας ὡσεὶ δέκα καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπελεύσεται

56 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς μὴ κατέχετέ με καὶ κύριος εὐόδωσεν τὴν ὁδόν μου ἐκπέμψατέ με ἵνα ἀπέλθω πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου

57 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν καλέσωμεν τὴν παῖδα καὶ ἐρωτήσωμεν τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς

58 καὶ ἐκάλεσαν Ρεβεκκαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ πορεύσῃ μετὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου ἡ δὲ εἶπεν πορεύσομαι

59 καὶ ἐξέπεμψαν Ρεβεκκαν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν παῖδα τὸν Αβρααμ καὶ τοὺς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

60 καὶ εὐλόγησαν Ρεβεκκαν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ ἀδελφὴ ἡμῶν εἶ γίνου εἰς χιλιάδας μυριάδων καὶ κληρονομησάτω τὸ σπέρμα σου τὰς πόλεις τῶν ὑπεναντίων

61 ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Ρεβεκκα καὶ αἱ ἅβραι αὐτῆς ἐπέβησαν ἐπὶ τὰς καμήλους καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἀναλαβὼν ὁ παῖς τὴν Ρεβεκκαν ἀπῆλθεν

62 Ισαακ δὲ ἐπορεύετο διὰ τῆς ἐρήμου κατὰ τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ὁράσεως αὐτὸς δὲ κατῴκει ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ πρὸς λίβα

63 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ισαακ ἀδολεσχῆσαι εἰς τὸ πεδίον τὸ πρὸς δείλης καὶ ἀναβλέψας τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδεν καμήλους ἐρχομένας

64 καὶ ἀναβλέψασα Ρεβεκκα τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδεν τὸν Ισαακ καὶ κατεπήδησεν ἀπὸ τῆς καμήλου

65 καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδί τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὁ πορευόμενος ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ εἰς συνάντησιν ἡμῖν εἶπεν δὲ ὁ παῖς οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κύριός μου ἡ δὲ λαβοῦσα τὸ θέριστρον περιεβάλετο

66 καὶ διηγήσατο ὁ παῖς τῷ Ισαακ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ἃ ἐποίησεν

67 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ Ισαακ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν Ρεβεκκαν καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ γυνή καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτήν καὶ παρεκλήθη Ισαακ περὶ Σαρρας τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ

1 Erat autem Abraham senex, dierumque multorum: et Dominus in cunctis benedixerat ei.

2 Dixitque ad servum seniorem domus suæ, qui præerat omnibus quæ habebat: Pone manum tuam subter femur meum,

3 ut adjurem te per Dominum Deum cæli et terræ, ut non accipias uxorem filio meo de filiabus Chananæorum, inter quos habito:

4 sed ad terram et cognationem meam proficiscaris et inde accipias uxorem filio meo Isaac.

5 Respondit servus: Si noluerit mulier venire mecum in terram hanc, numquid reducere debeo filium tuum ad locum, de quo egressus es?

6 Dixitque Abraham: Cave nequando reducas filium meum illuc.

7 Dominus Deus cæli, qui tulit me de domo patris mei, et de terra nativitatis meæ, qui locutus est mihi, et juravit mihi, dicens: Semini tuo dabo terram hanc: ipse mittet angelum suum coram te, et accipies inde uxorem filio meo:

8 sin autem mulier noluerit sequi te, non teneberis juramento: filium meum tantum ne reducas illuc.

9 Posuit ergo servus manum sub femore Abraham domini sui, et juravit illi super sermone hoc.

10 Tulitque decem camelos de grege domini sui, et abiit, ex omnibus bonis ejus portans secum, profectusque perrexit in Mesopotamiam ad urbem Nachor.

11 Cumque camelos fecisset accumbere extra oppidum juxta puteum aquæ vespere, tempore quo solent mulieres egredi ad hauriendam aquam, dixit:

12 Domine Deus domini mei Abraham, occurre, obsecro, mihi hodie, et fac misericordiam cum domino meo Abraham.

13 Ecce ego sto prope fontem aquæ, et filiæ habitatorum hujus civitatis egredientur ad hauriendam aquam.

14 Igitur puella, cui ego dixero: Inclina hydriam tuam ut bibam: et illa responderit: Bibe, quin et camelis tuis dabo potum: ipsa est quam præparasti servo tuo Isaac: et per hoc intelligam quod feceris misericordiam cum domino meo.

15 Necdum intra se verba compleverat, et ecce Rebecca egrediebatur, filia Bathuel, filii Melchæ uxoris Nachor fratris Abraham, habens hydriam in scapula sua:

16 puella decora nimis, virgoque pulcherrima, et incognita viro: descenderat autem ad fontem, et impleverat hydriam, ac revertebatur.

17 Occurritque ei servus, et ait: Pauxillum aquæ mihi ad bibendum præbe de hydria tua.

18 Quæ respondit: Bibe, domine mi: celeriterque deposuit hydriam super ulnam suam, et dedit ei potum.

19 Cumque ille bibisset, adjecit: Quin et camelis tuis hauriam aquam, donec cuncti bibant.

20 Effundensque hydriam in canalibus, recurrit ad puteum ut hauriret aquam: et haustam omnibus camelis dedit.

21 Ipse autem contemplabatur eam tacitus, scire volens utrum prosperum iter suum fecisset Dominus, an non.

22 Postquam autem biberunt cameli, protulit vir inaures aureas, appendentes siclos duos, et armillas totidem pondo siclorum decem.

23 Dixitque ad eam: Cujus es filia? indica mihi, est in domo patris tui locus ad manendum?

24 Quæ respondit: Filia sum Bathuelis, filii Melchæ, quem peperit ipsi Nachor.

25 Et addidit, dicens: Palearum quoque et fœni plurimum est apud nos, et locus spatiosus ad manendum.

26 Inclinavit se homo, et adoravit Dominum,

27 dicens: Benedictus Dominus Deus domini mei Abraham, qui non abstulit misericordiam et veritatem suam a domino meo, et recto itinere me perduxit in domum fratris domini mei.

28 Cucurrit itaque puella, et nuntiavit in domum matris suæ omnia quæ audierat.

29 Habebat autem Rebecca fratrem nomine Laban, qui festinus egressus est ad hominem, ubi erat fons.

30 Cumque vidisset inaures et armillas in manibus sororis suæ, et audisset cuncta verba referentis: Hæc locutus est mihi homo: venit ad virum qui stabat juxta camelos, et prope fontem aquæ:

31 dixitque ad eum: Ingredere, benedicte Domini: cur foris stas? præparavi domum, et locum camelis.

32 Et introduxit eum in hospitium: ac destravit camelos, deditque paleas et fœnum, et aquam ad lavandos pedes ejus, et virorum qui venerant cum eo.

33 Et appositus est in conspectu ejus panis. Qui ait: Non comedam, donec loquar sermones meos. Respondit ei: Loquere.

34 At ille: Servus, inquit, Abraham sum:

35 et Dominus benedixit domino meo valde, magnificatusque est: et dedit ei oves et boves, argentum et aurum, servos et ancillas, camelos et asinos.

36 Et peperit Sara uxor domini mei filium domino meo in senectute sua, deditque illi omnia quæ habuerat.

37 Et adjuravit me dominus meus, dicens: Non accipies uxorem filio meo de filiabus Chananæorum, in quorum terra habito:

38 sed ad domum patris mei perges, et de cognatione mea accipies uxorem filio meo.

39 Ego vero respondi domino meo: Quid si noluerit venire mecum mulier?

40 Dominus, ait, in cujus conspectu ambulo, mittet angelum suum tecum, et diriget viam tuam: accipiesque uxorem filio meo de cognatione mea, et de domo patris mei.

41 Innocens eris a maledictione mea, cum veneris ad propinquos meos, et non dederint tibi.

42 Veni ergo hodie ad fontem aquæ, et dixi: Domine Deus domini mei Abraham, si direxisti viam meam, in qua nunc ambulo,

43 ecce sto juxta fontem aquæ, et virgo, quæ egredietur ad hauriendam aquam, audierit a me: Da mihi pauxillum aquæ ad bibendum ex hydria tua:

44 et dixerit mihi: Et tu bibe, et camelis tuis hauriam: ipsa est mulier, quam præparavit Dominus filio domini mei.

45 Dumque hæc tacitus mecum volverem, apparuit Rebecca veniens cum hydria, quam portabat in scapula: descenditque ad fontem, et hausit aquam. Et aio ad eam: Da mihi paululum bibere.

46 Quæ festinans deposuit hydriam de humero, et dixit mihi: Et tu bibe, et camelis tuis tribuam potum. Bibi, et adaquavit camelos.

47 Interrogavique eam, et dixi: Cujus es filia? Quæ respondit: Filia Bathuelis sum, filii Nachor, quem peperit ei Melcha. Suspendi itaque inaures ad ornandam faciem ejus, et armillas posui in manibus ejus.

48 Pronusque adoravi Dominum, benedicens Domino Deo domini mei Abraham, qui perduxit me recto itinere, ut sumerem filiam fratris domini mei filio ejus.

49 Quam ob rem si facitis misericordiam et veritatem cum domino meo, indicate mihi: sin autem aliud placet, et hoc dicite mihi, ut vadam ad dextram, sive ad sinistram.

50 Responderuntque Laban et Bathuel: A Domino egressus est sermo: non possumus extra placitum ejus quidquam aliud loqui tecum.

51 En Rebecca coram te est, tolle eam, et proficiscere, et sit uxor filii domini tui, sicut locutus est Dominus.

52 Quod cum audisset puer Abraham, procidens adoravit in terram Dominum.

53 Prolatisque vasis argenteis, et aureis, ac vestibus, dedit ea Rebecca pro munere: fratribus quoque ejus et matri dona obtulit.

54 Inito convivio, vescentes pariter et bibentes manserunt ibi. Surgens autem mane, locutus est puer: Dimitte me, ut vadam ad dominum meum.

55 Responderuntque fratres ejus et mater: Maneat puella saltem decem dies apud nos, et postea proficiscetur.

56 Nolite, ait, me retinere, quia Dominus direxit viam meam: dimittite me ut pergam ad dominum meum.

57 Et dixerunt: Vocemus puellam, et quæramus ipsius voluntatem.

58 Cumque vocata venisset, sciscitati sunt: Vis ire cum homine isto? Quæ ait: Vadam.

59 Dimiserunt ergo eam, et nutricem illius, servumque Abraham, et comites ejus,

60 imprecantes prospera sorori suæ, atque dicentes: Soror nostra es, crescas in mille millia, et possideat semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum.

61 Igitur Rebecca et puellæ illius, ascensis camelis, secutæ sunt virum: qui festinus revertebatur ad dominum suum.

62 Eo autem tempore deambulabat Isaac per viam quæ ducit ad puteum, cujus nomen est Viventis et videntis: habitabat enim in terra australi:

63 et egressus fuerat ad meditandum in agro, inclinata jam die: cumque elevasset oculos, vidit camelos venientes procul.

64 Rebecca quoque, conspecto Isaac, descendit de camelo,

65 et ait ad puerum: Quis est ille homo qui venit per agrum in occursum nobis? Dixitque ei: Ipse est dominus meus. At illa tollens cito pallium, operuit se.

66 Servus autem cuncta, quæ gesserat, narravit Isaac.

67 Qui introduxit eam in tabernaculum Saræ matris suæ, et accepit eam uxorem: et in tantum dilexit eam, ut dolorem, qui ex morte matris ejus acciderat, temperaret.
