As I stand by the spring of water, let the young woman who comes out to draw and to whom I say, “Please, let me drink a little water from your jar,”
and who answers, “You may drink, and I will also draw for your camels”—let her be the wife whom Hashem has decreed for my master’s son.’
I had scarcely finished praying in my heart, when Rivkah came out with her jar on her shoulder, and went down to the spring and drew. And I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
She quickly lowered her jar and said, ‘Drink, and I will also water your camels.’ So I drank, and she also watered the camels.
I inquired of her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Betuel, son of Nachor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ And I put the ring on her nose and the bands on her arms.
Then I bowed low in homage to Hashem—and I blessed Hashem, the God of my master Avraham, who led me on the right way to get the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.
And now, if you mean to treat my master with true kindness, tell me; and if not, tell me also, that I may turn right or left.”
