Genesis 24 (WEBP)

[1] Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
[2] Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.
[3] I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
[4] But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
[5] The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
[6] Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.
[7] Yahweh, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
[8] If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
[9] The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
[10] The servant took ten of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
[11] He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
[12] He said, “Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
[13] Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
[14] Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”
[15] Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
[16] The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
[17] The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
[18] She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
[19] When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”
[20] She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
[21] The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.
[22] As the camels had finished drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
[23] and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
[24] She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
[25] She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
[26] The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.
[27] He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
[28] The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
[29] Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
[30] When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
[31] He said, “Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”
[32] The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
[33] Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” Laban said, “Speak on.”
[34] He said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
[35] Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. Yahweh has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
[36] Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
[37] My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
[38] but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
[39] I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’
[40] He said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.
[41] Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’
[42] I came today to the spring, and said, ‘Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go—
[43] behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
[44] then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master’s son.’
[45] Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
[46] She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.
[47] I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
[48] I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
[49] Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”
[50] Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can’t speak to you bad or good.
[51] Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Yahweh has spoken.”
[52] When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.
[53] The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
[54] They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”
[55] Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
[56] He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
[57] They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
[58] They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
[59] They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.
[60] They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”
[61] Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
[62] Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
[63] Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
[64] Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
[65] She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
[66] The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
[67] Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

[6] And Abraham said () unto him, Beware () thou that thou bring not my son thither again. ()
[7] The Lord God of heaven, which took me () from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake () unto me, and that sware () unto me, saying, () Unto thy seed will I give () this land; he shall send () his angel before thee, and thou shalt take () a wife unto my son from thence.

[9] And the servant put () his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware () to him concerning that matter.
[10] And the servant took () ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; () for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, () and went () to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
[11] And he made his camels to kneel down () without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out () to draw () water.
[12] And he said, () O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed () this day, and shew () kindness unto my master Abraham.
[13] Behold, I stand () here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out () to draw () water:
[14] and let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, () Let down () thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; () and she shall say, () Drink, () and I will give thy camels drink () also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed () for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know () that thou hast shewed () kindness unto my master.
[15] And it came to pass, before he had done () speaking, () that, behold, Rebekah came out, () who was born () to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
[16] And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known () her: and she went down () to the well, and filled () her pitcher, and came up. ()
[17] And the servant ran () to meet her, () and said, () Let me, I pray thee, drink () a little water of thy pitcher.
[18] And she said, () Drink, () my lord: and she hasted, () and let down () her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. ()
[19] And when she had done () giving him drink, () she said, () I will draw () water for thy camels also, until they have done () drinking. ()
[20] And she hasted, () and emptied () her pitcher into the trough, and ran () again unto the well to draw () water, and drew () for all his camels.
[21] And the man wondering () at her held his peace, () to wit () whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous () or not.
[22] And it came to pass, as the camels had done () drinking, () that the man took () a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
[23] and said, () Whose daughter art thou? tell () me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in? ()
[24] And she said () unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare () unto Nahor.
[25] She said () moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. ()
[26] And the man bowed down his head, () and worshipped () the Lord.
[27] And he said, () Blessed () be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute () my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me () to the house of my master’s brethren.
[28] And the damsel ran, () and told () them of her mother’s house these things.
[29] And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran () out unto the man, unto the well.
[30] And it came to pass, when he saw () the earring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard () the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, () Thus spake () the man unto me; that he came () unto the man; and, behold, he stood () by the camels at the well.
[31] And he said, () Come in, () thou blessed () of the Lord; wherefore standest () thou without? for I have prepared () the house, and room for the camels.
[32] And the man came () into the house: and he ungirded () his camels, and gave () straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash () his feet, and the men’s feet that were with him.
[33] And there was set () () () meat before him to eat: () but he said, () I will not eat, () until I have told () mine errand. And he said, () Speak on. ()
[34] And he said, () I am Abraham’s servant.
[35] And the Lord hath blessed () my master greatly; and he is become great: () and he hath given () him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
[36] And Sarah my master’s wife bare () a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given () all that he hath.
[37] And my master made me swear, () saying, () Thou shalt not take () a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell: ()
[38] but thou shalt go () unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take () a wife unto my son.
[39] And I said () unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow () me.
[40] And he said () unto me, The Lord, before whom I walk, () will send () his angel with thee, and prosper () thy way; and thou shalt take () a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
[41] then shalt thou be clear () from this my oath, when thou comest () to my kindred; and if they give () not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
[42] And I came () this day unto the well, and said, () O Lord God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper () my way which I go: ()
[43] behold, I stand () by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth () to draw () water, and I say () to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink; ()
[44] and she say () to me, Both drink () thou, and I will also draw () for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out () for my master’s son.
[45] And before I had done () speaking () in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth () with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down () unto the well, and drew () water: and I said () unto her, Let me drink, () I pray thee.
[46] And she made haste, () and let down () her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, () Drink, () and I will give thy camels drink () also: so I drank, () and she made the camels drink () also.
[47] And I asked () her, and said, () Whose daughter art thou? And she said, () The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare () unto him: and I put () the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
[48] And I bowed down my head, () and worshipped () the Lord, and blessed () the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me () in the right way to take () my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son.
[49] And now if ye will deal () kindly and truly with my master, tell () me: and if not, tell () me; that I may turn () to the right hand, or to the left.
[50] Then Laban and Bethuel answered () and said, () The thing proceedeth () from the Lord: we cannot () speak () unto thee bad or good.
[51] Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take () her, and go, () and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the Lord hath spoken. ()
[52] And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard () their words, he worshipped () the Lord, bowing himself to the earth.
[53] And the servant brought forth () jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave () them to Rebekah: he gave () also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

[32] εισηλθεν δε ο ανθρωπος εις την οικιαν και απεσαξεν τας καμηλους και εδωκεν αχυρα και χορτασματα ταις καμηλοις και υδωρ νιψασθαι τοις ποσιν αυτου και τοις ποσιν των ανδρων των μετ αυτου
[33] και παρεθηκεν αυτοις αρτους φαγειν και ειπεν ου μη φαγω εως του λαλησαι με τα ρηματα μου και ειπαν λαλησον
[34] και ειπεν παις αβρααμ εγω ειμι
[35] κυριος δε ευλογησεν τον κυριον μου σφοδρα και υψωθη και εδωκεν αυτω προβατα και μοσχους αργυριον και χρυσιον παιδας και παιδισκας καμηλους και ονους
[36] και ετεκεν σαρρα η γυνη του κυριου μου υιον ενα τω κυριω μου μετα το γηρασαι αυτον και εδωκεν αυτω οσα ην αυτω
[37] και ωρκισεν με ο κυριος μου λεγων ου λημψη γυναικα τω υιω μου απο των θυγατερων των χαναναιων εν οις εγω παροικω εν τη γη αυτων
[38] αλλ η εις τον οικον του πατρος μου πορευση και εις την φυλην μου και λημψη γυναικα τω υιω μου εκειθεν
[39] ειπα δε τω κυριω μου μηποτε ου πορευσεται η γυνη μετ εμου
[40] και ειπεν μοι κυριος ω ευηρεστησα εναντιον αυτου αυτος αποστελει τον αγγελον αυτου μετα σου και ευοδωσει την οδον σου και λημψη γυναικα τω υιω μου εκ της φυλης μου και εκ του οικου του πατρος μου
[41] τοτε αθωος εση απο της αρας μου ηνικα γαρ εαν ελθης εις την εμην φυλην και μη σοι δωσιν και εση αθωος απο του ορκισμου μου
[42] και ελθων σημερον επι την πηγην ειπα κυριε ο θεος του κυριου μου αβρααμ ει συ ευοδοις την οδον μου ην νυν εγω πορευομαι επ αυτην
[43] ιδου εγω εφεστηκα επι της πηγης του υδατος και αι θυγατερες των ανθρωπων της πολεως εξελευσονται υδρευσασθαι υδωρ και εσται η παρθενος η αν εγω ειπω ποτισον με μικρον υδωρ εκ της υδριας σου
[44] και ειπη μοι και συ πιε και ταις καμηλοις σου υδρευσομαι αυτη η γυνη ην ητοιμασεν κυριος τω εαυτου θεραποντι ισαακ και εν τουτω γνωσομαι οτι πεποιηκας ελεος τω κυριω μου αβρααμ
[45] και εγενετο προ του συντελεσαι με λαλουντα εν τη διανοια ευθυς ρεβεκκα εξεπορευετο εχουσα την υδριαν επι των ωμων και κατεβη επι την πηγην και υδρευσατο ειπα δε αυτη ποτισον με
[46] και σπευσασα καθειλεν την υδριαν αυτης αφ εαυτης και ειπεν πιε συ και τας καμηλους σου ποτιω και επιον και τας καμηλους μου εποτισεν
[47] και ηρωτησα αυτην και ειπα τινος ει θυγατηρ η δε εφη θυγατηρ βαθουηλ ειμι του υιου ναχωρ ον ετεκεν αυτω μελχα και περιεθηκα αυτη τα ενωτια και τα ψελια περι τας χειρας αυτης
[48] και ευδοκησας προσεκυνησα κυριω και ευλογησα κυριον τον θεον του κυριου μου αβρααμ ος ευοδωσεν μοι εν οδω αληθειας λαβειν την θυγατερα του αδελφου του κυριου μου τω υιω αυτου
[49] ει ουν ποιειτε υμεις ελεος και δικαιοσυνην προς τον κυριον μου απαγγειλατε μοι ει δε μη απαγγειλατε μοι ινα επιστρεψω εις δεξιαν η εις αριστεραν
[50] αποκριθεις δε λαβαν και βαθουηλ ειπαν παρα κυριου εξηλθεν το προσταγμα τουτο ου δυνησομεθα ουν σοι αντειπειν κακον καλω
[51] ιδου ρεβεκκα ενωπιον σου λαβων αποτρεχε και εστω γυνη τω υιω του κυριου σου καθα ελαλησεν κυριος
[52] εγενετο δε εν τω ακουσαι τον παιδα τον αβρααμ των ρηματων τουτων προσεκυνησεν επι την γην κυριω
[53] και εξενεγκας ο παις σκευη αργυρα και χρυσα και ιματισμον εδωκεν ρεβεκκα και δωρα εδωκεν τω αδελφω αυτης και τη μητρι αυτης
[54] και εφαγον και επιον αυτος και οι ανδρες οι μετ αυτου οντες και εκοιμηθησαν και αναστας πρωι ειπεν εκπεμψατε με ινα απελθω προς τον κυριον μου
[55] ειπαν δε οι αδελφοι αυτης και η μητηρ μεινατω η παρθενος μεθ ημων ημερας ωσει δεκα και μετα ταυτα απελευσεται
[56] ο δε ειπεν προς αυτους μη κατεχετε με και κυριος ευοδωσεν την οδον μου εκπεμψατε με ινα απελθω προς τον κυριον μου
[57] οι δε ειπαν καλεσωμεν την παιδα και ερωτησωμεν το στομα αυτης
[58] και εκαλεσαν ρεβεκκαν και ειπαν αυτη πορευση μετα του ανθρωπου τουτου η δε ειπεν πορευσομαι
[59] και εξεπεμψαν ρεβεκκαν την αδελφην αυτων και τα υπαρχοντα αυτης και τον παιδα τον αβρααμ και τους μετ αυτου
[60] και ευλογησαν ρεβεκκαν την αδελφην αυτων και ειπαν αυτη αδελφη ημων ει γινου εις χιλιαδας μυριαδων και κληρονομησατω το σπερμα σου τας πολεις των υπεναντιων
[61] αναστασα δε ρεβεκκα και αι αβραι αυτης επεβησαν επι τας καμηλους και επορευθησαν μετα του ανθρωπου και αναλαβων ο παις την ρεβεκκαν απηλθεν
[62] ισαακ δε επορευετο δια της ερημου κατα το φρεαρ της ορασεως αυτος δε κατωκει εν τη γη τη προς λιβα
[63] και εξηλθεν ισαακ αδολεσχησαι εις το πεδιον το προς δειλης και αναβλεψας τοις οφθαλμοις ειδεν καμηλους ερχομενας
[64] και αναβλεψασα ρεβεκκα τοις οφθαλμοις ειδεν τον ισαακ και κατεπηδησεν απο της καμηλου
[65] και ειπεν τω παιδι τις εστιν ο ανθρωπος εκεινος ο πορευομενος εν τω πεδιω εις συναντησιν ημιν ειπεν δε ο παις ουτος εστιν ο κυριος μου η δε λαβουσα το θεριστρον περιεβαλετο
[66] και διηγησατο ο παις τω ισαακ παντα τα ρηματα α εποιησεν
[67] εισηλθεν δε ισαακ εις τον οικον της μητρος αυτου και ελαβεν την ρεβεκκαν και εγενετο αυτου γυνη και ηγαπησεν αυτην και παρεκληθη ισαακ περι σαρρας της μητρος αυτου
