27 and said, “Blessed be the Lord, ^ethe God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken ^fhis steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master. As for me, the Lord ^ghas led me in the way to the house of my master’s kinsmen.”

Genesis 24:35-67

35 The Lord ^hhas greatly blessed my master, and he has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, camels and donkeys. 36 And Sarah my master’s wife ⁱbore a son to my master when she was old, and ^jto him he has given all that he has. 37 ^kMy master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell, 38 but you shall go to my father’s house and to my clan and take a wife for my son.’ 39 I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.’ 40 But he said to me, ‘The Lord, ^lbefore whom I have walked, will send his angel with you and ^mprosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my clan and from my father’s house. 41 Then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my clan. And if they will not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.’

42 “I came today to the spring and said, ⁿ‘O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if now you ^oare prospering the way that I go, 43 behold, I am standing ^pby the spring of water. Let the virgin who comes out to draw water, to whom I shall say, “Please give me a little water from your jar to drink,” 44 ^qand who will say to me, “Drink, and I will draw for your camels also,” let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.’

45 “Before I had finished ^rspeaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her water jar on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’ 46 She quickly let down her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels drink also.’ So I drank, and she gave the camels drink also. 47 Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ ^sSo I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her arms. 48 ^tThen I bowed my head and worshiped the Lord and blessed the Lord, ^uthe God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way ^{▼▼Or faithfully} to take ^wthe daughter of my master’s kinsman for his son. 49 Now then, if you are going to ^xshow steadfast love and faithfulness to 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 has come from the Lord; we cannot ^yspeak to you bad or good. 51 Behold, Rebekah is before you; take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master’s son, ^zas the Lord has spoken.”

52 When Abraham’s servant heard their words, ^aahe bowed himself to the earth before the Lord. 53 And the servant brought out jewelry of silver and of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave to her brother and to her mother costly ornaments. 54 And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he said, ^ab“Send me away to my master.” 55 Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go.” 56 But he said to them, “Do not delay me, since the Lord has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.” 57 They said, “Let us call the young woman and ask her.” 58 And they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.” 59 So they sent away Rebekah their sister and ^acher nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men. 60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her,

“Our sister, may you ^adbecome
thousands of ten thousands,
and ^aemay your offspring possess
the gate of those who hate him!” ^{▼▼Or hate them}
61 Then Rebekah and her young women arose and rode on the camels and followed the man. Thus the servant took Rebekah and went his way.

62 Now Isaac had returned from ^agBeer-lahai-roi and was dwelling in the Negeb. 63 And Isaac went out ^ahto meditate in the field toward evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, there were camels coming. 64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel 65 and said to the servant, “Who is that man, walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took her veil and covered herself. 66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. 67 Then Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was ^aicomforted after his mother’s ^ajdeath.

2 Kings 5:2-3

2 Now the Syrians on ^akone of their raids had carried off a little girl from the land of Israel, and she worked in the service of Naaman’s wife. 3 She said to her mistress, “Would that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”

2 Kings 5:13

13 But his servants came near and said to him, ^al“My father, it is a great word the prophet has spoken to you; will you not do it? Has he actually said to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”

Malachi 1:6

The Priests’ Polluted Offerings

6 ^am“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am ^ana father, where is my honor? And if I am ^aoa master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. ^apBut you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’
