Genesis 24:4-67 STRONG

But thou shalt go ^H3212 unto my country, ^H776 and to my kindred, ^H4138 and take ^H3947 a wife ^H802 unto my son ^H1121 Isaac. ^H3327 And the servant ^H5650 said ^H559 unto him, Peradventure the woman ^H802 will not be willing ^H14 to follow ^H3212 me ^H310 unto this land: ^H776 must I needs bring ^H7725 thy son ^H1121 again ^H7725 unto the land ^H776 from whence thou camest? ^H3318 And Abraham ^H85 said ^H559 unto him, Beware ^H8104 thou that thou bring ^H7725 not ^H6435 my son ^H1121 thither again. ^H7725 The LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of heaven, ^H8064 which took me ^H3947 from my father's ^H1 house, ^H1004 and from the land ^H776 of my kindred, ^H4138 and which spake ^H1696 unto me, and that sware ^H7650 unto me, saying, ^H559 Unto thy seed ^H2233 will I give ^H5414 this land; ^H776 he shall send ^H7971 his angel ^H4397 before thee, ^H6440 and thou shalt take ^H3947 a wife ^H802 unto my son ^H1121 from thence. And if the woman ^H802 will not be willing ^H14 to follow ^H3212 thee, ^H310 then thou shalt be clear ^H5352 from this my oath: ^H7621 only bring ^H7725 not my son ^H1121 thither again. ^H7725 And the servant ^H5650 put ^H7760 his hand ^H3027 under the thigh ^H3409 of Abraham ^H85 his master, ^H113 and sware ^H7650 to him concerning ^H5921 that ^H2088 matter. ^H1697 And the servant ^H5650 took ^H3947 ten ^H6235 camels ^H1581 of the camels ^H1581 of his master, ^H113 and departed; ^H3212 for all the goods ^H2898 of his master ^H113 were in his hand: ^H3027 and he arose, ^H6965 and went ^H3212 to Mesopotamia, ^H763 unto the city ^H5892 of Nahor. ^H5152 And he made ^H1288 his camels ^H1581 to kneel down ^H1288 without ^H2351 the city ^H5892 by ^H413 a well ^H875 of water ^H4325 at the time ^H6256 of the evening, ^H6153 even the time ^H6256 that women go out ^H3318 to draw ^H7579 water. And he said, ^H559 O LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of my master ^H113 Abraham, ^H85 I pray thee, send me ^H6440 good speed ^H7136 this day, ^H3117 and shew ^H6213 kindness ^H2617 unto ^H5973 my master ^H113 Abraham. ^H85 Behold, I stand ^H5324 here by the well ^H5869 of water; ^H4325 and the daughters ^H1323 of the men ^H582 of the city ^H5892 come out ^H3318 to draw ^H7579 water: ^H4325 And let it come to pass, that the damsel ^H5291 to whom I shall say, ^H559 Let down ^H5186 thy pitcher, ^H3537 I pray thee, that I may drink; ^H8354 and she shall say, ^H559 Drink, ^H8354 and I will give ^H8248 thy camels ^H1581 drink ^H8248 also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed ^H3198 for thy servant ^H5650 Isaac; ^H3327 and thereby shall I know ^H3045 that thou hast shewed ^H6213 kindness ^H2617 unto my master. ^H113 And it came to pass, before he had done ^H3615 speaking, ^H1696 that, behold, Rebekah ^H7259 came out, ^H3318 who ^H834 was born ^H3205 to Bethuel, ^H1328 son ^H1121 of Milcah, ^H4435 the wife ^H802 of Nahor, ^H5152 Abraham's ^H85 brother, ^H251 with her pitcher ^H3537 upon her shoulder. ^H7926 And the damsel ^H5291 was very ^H3966 fair ^H2896 to look upon, ^H4758 a virgin, ^H1330 neither had any man ^H376 known ^H3045 her: and she went down ^H3381 to the well, ^H5869 and filled ^H4390 her pitcher, ^H3537 and came up. ^H5927 And the servant ^H5650 ran ^H7323 to meet her, ^H7125 and said, ^H559 Let me, I pray thee, drink ^H1572 a little ^H4592 water ^H4325 of thy pitcher. ^H3537 And she said, ^H559 Drink, ^H8354 my lord: ^H113 and she hasted, ^H4116 and let down ^H3381 her pitcher ^H3537 upon her hand, ^H3027 and gave him drink. ^H8248 And when she had done ^H3615 giving him drink, ^H8248 she said, ^H559 I will draw ^H7579 water for thy camels ^H1581 also, until they have done ^H3615 drinking. ^H8354 And she hasted, ^H4116 and emptied ^H6168 her pitcher ^H3537 into the trough, ^H8268 and ran ^H7323 again unto the well ^H875 to draw ^H7579 water, and drew ^H7579 for all his camels. ^H1581 And the man ^H376 wondering ^H7583 at her held his peace, ^H2790 to wit ^H3045 whether the LORD ^H3068 had made ^H6743 his journey ^H1870 prosperous ^H6743 or ^H518 not. And it came to pass, as the camels ^H1581 had done ^H3615 drinking, ^H8354 that the man ^H376 took ^H3947 a golden ^H2091 earring ^H5141 of half a shekel ^H1235 weight, ^H4948 and two ^H8147 bracelets ^H6781 for her hands ^H3027 of ten ^H6235 shekels weight ^H4948 of gold; ^H2091 And said, ^H559 Whose ^H4310 daughter ^H1323 art thou? ^H859 tell ^H5046 me, I pray thee: is there ^H3426 room ^H4725 in thy father's ^H1 house ^H1004 for us to lodge in? ^H3885 And she said ^H559 unto him, I am the daughter ^H1323 of Bethuel ^H1328 the son ^H1121 of Milcah, ^H4435 which she bare ^H3205 unto Nahor. ^H5152 She said ^H559 moreover unto him, We have both ^H1571 straw ^H8401 and provender ^H4554 enough, ^H7227 and ^H1571 room ^H4725 to lodge in. ^H3885 And the man ^H376 bowed down his head, ^H6915 and worshipped ^H7812 the LORD. ^H3068 And he said, ^H559 Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of my master ^H113 Abraham, ^H85 who hath not left destitute ^{H5800 H5973} my master ^H113 of his mercy ^H2617 and his truth: ^H571 I being in the way, ^H1870 the LORD ^H3068 led me ^H5148 to the house ^H1004 of my master's ^H113 brethren. ^H251 And the damsel ^H5291 ran, ^H7323 and told ^H5046 them of her mother's ^H517 house ^H1004 these things. ^H1697 And Rebekah ^H7259 had a brother, ^H251 and his name ^H8034 was Laban: ^H3837 and Laban ^H3837 ran ^H7323 out ^H2351 unto the man, ^H376 unto the well. ^H5869 And it came to pass, when he saw ^H7200 the earring ^H5141 and bracelets ^H6781 upon his sister's ^H269 hands, ^H3027 and when he heard ^H8085 the words ^H1697 of Rebekah ^H7259 his sister, ^H269 saying, ^H559 Thus ^H3541 spake ^H1696 the man ^H376 unto me; that he came ^H935 unto the man; ^H376 and, behold, he stood ^H5975 by ^H5921 the camels ^H1581 at the well. ^H5869 And he said, ^H559 Come in, ^H935 thou blessed ^H1288 of the LORD; ^H3068 wherefore standest ^H5975 thou without? ^H2351 for I have prepared ^H6437 the house, ^H1004 and room ^H4725 for the camels. ^H1581 And the man ^H376 came ^H935 into the house: ^H1004 and he ungirded ^H6605 his camels, ^H1581 and gave ^H5414 straw ^H8401 and provender ^H4554 for the camels, ^H1581 and water ^H4325 to wash ^H7364 his feet, ^H7272 and the men's ^H582 feet ^H7272 that were with him. And there was set ^{H7760 H3455} meat before him ^H6440 to eat: ^H398 but he said, ^H559 I will not eat, ^H398 until I have told ^H1696 mine errand. ^H1697 And he said, ^H559 Speak on. ^H1696 And he said, ^H559 I am Abraham's ^H85 servant. ^H5650 And the LORD ^H3068 hath blessed ^H1288 my master ^H113 greatly; ^H3966 and he is become great: ^H1431 and he hath given ^H5414 him flocks, ^H6629 and herds, ^H1241 and silver, ^H3701 and gold, ^H2091 and menservants, ^H5650 and maidservants, ^H8198 and camels, ^H1581 and asses. ^H2543 And Sarah ^H8283 my master's ^H113 wife ^H802 bare ^H3205 a son ^H1121 to my master ^H113 when ^H310 she was old: ^H2209 and unto him hath he given ^H5414 all that he hath. And my master ^H113 made me swear, ^H7650 saying, ^H559 Thou shalt not take ^H3947 a wife ^H802 to my son ^H1121 of the daughters ^H1323 of the Canaanites, ^H3669 in whose land ^H776 I dwell: ^H3427 But ^H518 thou shalt go ^H3212 unto my father's ^H1 house, ^H1004 and to my kindred, ^H4940 and take ^H3947 a wife ^H802 unto my son. ^H1121 And I said ^H559 unto my master, ^H113 Peradventure the woman ^H802 will not follow ^{H3212 H310} me. And he said ^H559 unto me, The LORD, ^H3068 before ^H6440 whom I walk, ^H1980 will send ^H7971 his angel ^H4397 with thee, and prosper ^H6743 thy way; ^H1870 and thou shalt take ^H3947 a wife ^H802 for my son ^H1121 of my kindred, ^H4940 and of my father's ^H1 house: ^H1004 Then shalt thou be clear ^H5352 from this my oath, ^H423 when thou comest ^H935 to my kindred; ^H4940 and if they give ^H5414 not thee one, thou shalt be clear ^H5355 from my oath. ^H423 And I came ^H935 this day ^H3117 unto the well, ^H5869 and said, ^H559 O LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of my master ^H113 Abraham, ^H85 if now thou do ^H3426 prosper ^H6743 my way ^H1870 which I go: ^H1980 Behold, I stand ^H5324 by the well ^H5869 of water; ^H4325 and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin ^H5959 cometh forth ^H3318 to draw ^H7579 water, and I say ^H559 to her, Give me, ^H8248 I pray thee, a little ^H4592 water ^H4325 of thy pitcher ^H3537 to drink; ^H8248 And she say ^H559 to me, Both drink ^H8354 thou, and I will also draw ^H7579 for thy camels: ^H1581 let the same be the woman ^H802 whom the LORD ^H3068 hath appointed out ^H3198 for my master's ^H113 son. ^H1121 And before I had done ^H3615 speaking ^H1696 in mine heart, ^H3820 behold, Rebekah ^H7259 came forth ^H3318 with her pitcher ^H3537 on her shoulder; ^H7926 and she went down ^H3381 unto the well, ^H5869 and drew ^H7579 water: and I said ^H559 unto her, Let me drink, ^H8248 I pray thee. And she made haste, ^H4116 and let down ^H3381 her pitcher ^H3537 from her shoulder, and said, ^H559 Drink, ^H8354 and I will give ^H8248 thy camels ^H1581 drink ^H8248 also: so I drank, ^H8354 and she made ^H8248 the camels ^H1581 drink ^H8248 also. And I asked ^H7592 her, and said, ^H559 Whose daughter ^H1323 art thou? And she said, ^H559 The daughter ^H1323 of Bethuel, ^H1328 Nahor's ^H5152 son, ^H1121 whom Milcah ^H4435 bare ^H3205 unto him: and I put ^H7760 the earring ^H5141 upon her face, ^H639 and the bracelets ^H6781 upon her hands. ^H3027 And I bowed down my head, ^H6915 and worshipped ^H7812 the LORD, ^H3068 and blessed ^H1288 the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of my master ^H113 Abraham, ^H85 which had led me ^H5148 in the right ^H571 way ^H1870 to take ^H3947 my master's ^H113 brother's ^H251 daughter ^H1323 unto his son. ^H1121 And now if ye will ^H3426 deal ^H6213 kindly ^H2617 and truly ^H571 with my master, ^H113 tell ^H5046 me: and if not, tell ^H5046 me; that I may turn ^H6437 to the right hand, ^H3225 or ^H176 to the left. ^H8040 Then Laban ^H3837 and Bethuel ^H1328 answered ^H6030 and said, ^H559 The thing ^H1697 proceedeth ^H3318 from the LORD: ^H3068 we cannot ^H3201 speak ^H1696 unto thee bad ^H7451 or ^H176 good. ^H2896 Behold, Rebekah ^H7259 is before thee, ^H6440 take ^H3947 her, and go, ^H3212 and let her be thy master's ^H113 son's ^H1121 wife, ^H802 as the LORD ^H3068 hath spoken. ^H1696 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's ^H85 servant ^H5650 heard ^H8085 their words, ^H1697 he worshipped ^H7812 the LORD, ^H3068 bowing himself to the earth. ^H776 And the servant ^H5650 brought forth ^H3318 jewels ^H3627 of silver, ^H3701 and jewels ^H3627 of gold, ^H2091 and raiment, ^H899 and gave ^H5414 them to Rebekah: ^H7259 he gave ^H5414 also to her brother ^H251 and to her mother ^H517 precious things. ^H4030 And they did eat ^H398 and drink, ^H8354 he and the men ^H582 that were with him, and tarried all night; ^H3885 and they rose up ^H6965 in the morning, ^H1242 and he said, ^H559 Send me away ^H7971 unto my master. ^H113 And her brother ^H251 and her mother ^H517 said, ^H559 Let the damsel ^H5291 abide ^H3427 with us a few days, ^H3117 at the least ^H176 ten; ^H6218 after ^H310 that she shall go. ^H3212 And he said ^H559 unto them, Hinder me ^H309 not, seeing the LORD ^H3068 hath prospered ^H6743 my way; ^H1870 send me away ^H7971 that I may go ^H3212 to my master. ^H113 And they said, ^H559 We will call ^H7121 the damsel, ^H5291 and enquire ^H7592 at her mouth. ^H6310 And they called ^H7121 Rebekah, ^H7259 and said ^H559 unto her, Wilt thou go ^H3212 with this man? ^H376 And she said, ^H559 I will go. ^H3212 And they sent away ^H7971 Rebekah ^H7259 their sister, ^H269 and her nurse, ^H3243 and Abraham's ^H85 servant, ^H5650 and his men. ^H582 And they blessed ^H1288 Rebekah, ^H7259 and said ^H559 unto her, Thou ^H859 art our sister, ^H269 be thou ^H1961 the mother of thousands ^H505 of millions, ^H7233 and let thy seed ^H2233 possess ^H3423 the gate ^H8179 of those which hate ^H8130 them. And Rebekah ^H7259 arose, ^H6965 and her damsels, ^H5291 and they rode ^H7392 upon the camels, ^H1581 and followed ^{H3212 H310} the man: ^H376 and the servant ^H5650 took ^H3947 Rebekah, ^H7259 and went his way. ^H3212 And Isaac ^H3327 came ^H935 from the way ^H935 of the well Lahairoi; ^H883 for he dwelt ^H3427 in the south ^H5045 country. ^H776 And Isaac ^H3327 went out ^H3318 to meditate ^H7742 in the field ^H7704 at ^H6437 the eventide: ^H6153 and he lifted up ^H5375 his eyes, ^H5869 and saw, ^H7200 and, behold, the camels ^H1581 were coming. ^H935 And Rebekah ^H7259 lifted up ^H5375 her eyes, ^H5869 and when she saw ^H7200 Isaac, ^H3327 she lighted ^H5307 off ^H5921 the camel. ^H1581 For she had said ^H559 unto the servant, ^H5650 What ^H4310 man ^H376 is this ^H1976 that walketh ^H1980 in the field ^H7704 to meet us? ^H7125 And the servant ^H5650 had said, ^H559 It is my master: ^H113 therefore she took ^H3947 a vail, ^H6809 and covered herself. ^H3680 And the servant ^H5650 told ^H5608 Isaac ^H3327 all things ^H1697 that he had done. ^H6213 And Isaac ^H3327 brought her ^H935 into his mother ^H517 Sarah's ^H8283 tent, ^H168 and took ^H3947 Rebekah, ^H7259 and she became his wife; ^H802 and he loved ^H157 her: and Isaac ^H3327 was comforted ^H5162 after ^H310 his mother's ^H517 death.
