15Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of gMilcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her water jar on her shoulder. 16The young woman hwas very attractive in appearance, a maiden ▼▼Or a woman of marriageable age
whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up. 17Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar.” 18She said, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly let down her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink. 19When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.” 20So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water, and she drew for all his camels. 21The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the Lord had prospered his journey or not. 22When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half shekel, ▼
▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
and two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels, 23and said, “Please tell me whose daughter you are. Is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?” 24She said to him, k“I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.” Genesis 25:20
