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 done 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.

Young’s Literal Translation

Genesis 24 (YLT)

[1] And Abraham is old, he hath entered into days, and Jehovah hath blessed Abraham in all things;
[2] and Abraham saith unto his servant, the eldest of his house, who is ruling over all that he hath, ‘Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh,
[3] and I cause thee to swear by Jehovah, God of the heavens, and God of the earth, that thou dost not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I am dwelling;
[4] but unto my land and unto my kindred dost thou go, and hast taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.’
[5] And the servant saith unto him, ‘It may be the woman is not willing to come after me unto this land; do I at all cause thy son to turn back unto the land from whence thou camest out?’
[6] And Abraham saith unto him, ‘Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause my son to turn back thither;
[7] Jehovah, God of the heavens, who hath taken me from the house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who hath spoken to me, and who hath sworn to me, saying, To thy seed I give this land, He doth send His messenger before thee, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from thence;
[8] and if the woman be not willing to come after thee, then thou hast been acquitted from this mine oath: only my son thou dost not cause to turn back thither.’
[9] And the servant putteth his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and sweareth to him concerning this matter.
[10] And the servant taketh ten camels of the camels of his lord and goeth, also of all the goods of his lord in his hand, and he riseth, and goeth unto Aram-Naharaim, unto the city of Nahor;
[11] and he causeth the camels to kneel at the outside of the city, at the well of water, at even-time, at the time of the coming out of the women who draw water.
[12] And he saith, ‘Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, cause to meet, I pray Thee, before me this day-(and do kindness with my lord Abraham;
[13] lo, I am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;
[14] and it hath been, the young person unto whom I say, Incline, I pray thee, thy pitcher, and I drink, and she hath said, Drink, and I water also thy camels)-her Thou hast decided for Thy servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that Thou hast done kindness with my lord.’
[15] And it cometh to pass, before he hath finished speaking, that lo, Rebekah (who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, wife of Nahor, brother of Abraham) is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder,
[16] and the young person is of very good appearance, a virgin, and a man hath not known her; and she goeth down to the fountain, and filleth her pitcher, and cometh up.
[17] And the servant runneth to meet her, and saith, ‘Let me swallow, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher;’
[18] and she saith, ‘Drink, my lord;’ and she hasteth, and letteth down her pitcher upon her hand, and giveth him drink.
[19] And she finisheth giving him drink, and saith, ‘Also for thy camels I draw till they have finished drinking;’
[20] and she hasteth, and emptieth her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and runneth again unto the well to draw, and draweth for all his camels.
[21] And the man, wondering at her, remaineth silent, to know whether Jehovah hath made his way prosperous or not.
[22] And it cometh to pass when the camels have finished drinking, that the man taketh a golden ring (whose weight is a bekah), and two bracelets for her hands (whose weight is ten bekahs of gold),
[23] and saith, ‘Whose daughter art thou? declare to me, I pray thee, is the house of thy father a place for us to lodge in?’
[24] And she saith unto him, ‘I am daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.’
[25] She saith also unto him, ‘Both straw and provender are abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.’
[26] And the man boweth, and doth obeisance to Jehovah,
[27] and saith, ‘Blessed is Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath not left off His kindness and His truth with my lord;-I being in the way, Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord’s brethren.’
[28] And the young person runneth, and declareth to the house of her mother according to these words.
[29] And Rebekah hath a brother, and his name is Laban, and Laban runneth unto the man who is without, unto the fountain;
[30] yea, it cometh to pass, when he seeth the ring, and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heareth the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, ‘Thus hath the man spoken unto me,’ that he cometh in unto the man, and lo, he is standing by the camels by the fountain.
[31] And he saith, ‘Come in, O blessed one of Jehovah, why standest thou without, and I-I have prepared the house and place for the camels!’
[32] And he bringeth in the man into the house, and looseth the camels, and giveth straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who are with him:
[33] and setteth before him to eat; but he saith, ‘I do not eat till I have spoken my word;’ and he saith, ‘Speak.’
[34] And he saith, ‘I am Abraham’s servant;
[35] and Jehovah hath blessed my lord exceedingly, and he is great; and He giveth to him flock, and herd, and silver, and gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses;
[36] and Sarah, my lord’s wife, beareth a son to my lord, after she hath been aged, and he giveth to him all that he hath.
[37] ‘And my lord causeth me to swear, saying, Thou dost not take a wife to my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling.
[38] If not-unto the house of my father thou dost go, and unto my family, and thou hast taken a wife for my son.
[39] ‘And I say unto my lord, It may be the woman doth not come after me;
[40] and he saith unto me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked habitually, doth send His messenger with thee, and hath prospered thy way, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father;
[41] then art thou acquitted from my oath, when thou comest unto my family, and if they give not one to thee; then thou hast been acquitted from my oath.
[42] ‘And I come to-day unto the fountain, and I say, Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, if Thou art, I pray Thee, making prosperous my way in which I am going-
[43] (lo, I am standing by the fountain of water), then the virgin who is coming out to draw, and I have said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher,
[44] and she hath said unto me, Both drink thou, and also for thy camels I draw-she is the woman whom Jehovah hath decided for my lord’s son.
[45] ‘Before I finish speaking unto my heart, then lo, Rebekah is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she goeth down to the fountain, and draweth; and I say unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee,
[46] and she hasteth and letteth down her pitcher from off her and saith, Drink, and thy camels also I water; and I drink, and the camels also she hath watered.
[47] ‘And I ask her, and say, Whose daughter art thou? and she saith, Daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah hath borne to him, and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands,
[48] and I bow, and do obeisance before Jehovah, and I bless Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath led me in the true way to receive the daughter of my lord’s brother for his son.
[49] ‘And now, if ye are dealing kindly and truly with my lord, declare to me; and if not, declare to me; and I turn unto the right or unto the left.’
[50] And Laban answereth-Bethuel also-and they say, ‘The thing hath gone out from Jehovah; we are not able to speak unto thee bad or good;
[51] lo, Rebekah is before thee, take and go, and she is a wife to thy lord’s son, as Jehovah hath spoken.’
[52] And it cometh to pass, when the servant of Abraham hath heard their words, that he boweth himself towards the earth before Jehovah;
[53] and the servant taketh out vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and giveth to Rebekah; precious things also he hath given to her brother and to her mother.
[54] And they eat and drink, he and the men who are with him, and lodge all night; and they rise in the morning, and he saith, ‘Send me to my lord;’
[55] and her brother saith-her mother also-‘Let the young person abide with us a week or ten days, afterwards doth she go.’
[56] And he saith unto them, ‘Do not delay me, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord;’
[57] and they say, ‘Let us call for the young person, and ask at her mouth;’
[58] and they call for Rebekah, and say unto her, ‘Dost thou go with this man?’ and she saith, ‘I go.’
[59] And they send away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men;
[60] and they bless Rebekah, and say to her, ‘Thou art our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and thy seed doth possess the gate of those hating it.’
[61] And Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant taketh Rebekah and goeth.
[62] And Isaac hath come in from the entrance of the Well of the Living One, my Beholder; and he is dwelling in the land of the south,
[63] and Isaac goeth out to meditate in the field, at the turning of the evening, and he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, camels are coming.
[64] And Rebekah lifteth up her eyes, and seeth Isaac, and alighteth from off the camel;
[65] and she saith unto the servant, ‘Who is this man who is walking in the field to meet us?’ and the servant saith, ‘It is my lord;’ and she taketh the veil, and covereth herself.
[66] And the servant recounteth to Isaac all the things that he hath done,
[67] and Isaac bringeth her in unto the tent of Sarah his mother, and he taketh Rebekah, and she becometh his wife, and he loveth her, and Isaac is comforted after the death of his mother.
