A Bride for Isaac

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:1 -

Now Abraham H85 was H2204 old H2204, advanced H935 in age H3117; and the LORD H3068 had blessed H1288 Abraham H85 in every H3605 way H3605.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:3 - and I will make you swear H7650 by the LORD H3068, the God H430 of heaven H8064 and the God H430 of earth H776, that you shall not take H3947 a wife H802 for my son H1121 from the daughters H1323 of the Canaanites H3669, among H7130 whom H834 I live H3427;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:4 - but you will go H1980 to my country H776 and to my relatives H4138, and take H3947 a wife H802 for my son H1121 Isaac H3327.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:5 - The servant H5650 said H559 to him, “Suppose H194 the woman H802 is H14 not willing H14 to follow H1980 H310 me to this H2088 land H776; should I take H7725 your son H1121 back H7725 to the land H776 from where H834 H8033 you came H3318?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:6 - Then Abraham H85 said H559 to him, “Beware H8104 that you do not take H7725 my son H1121 back H7725 there H8033!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:7 - “The LORD H3068, the God H430 of heaven H8064, who H834 took H3947 me from my father’s H1 house H1004 and from the land H776 of my birth H4138, and who H834 spoke H1696 to me and who H834 swore H7650 to me, saying H559, ‘To your [fn]descendants H2233 I will give H5414 this H2088 land H776’—He will send H7971 His angel H4397 ahead H6440 of you, and you will take H3947 a wife H802 for my son H1121 from there H8033.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:8 - “But if H518 the woman H802 is H14 not willing H14 to follow H1980 H310 you, then you will be H5352 free H5352 of this H2088 oath H7621 of mine; only H7534 do not take H7725 my son H1121 back H7725 there H8033.”

Then the servant H5650 took H3947 ten H6235 camels H1581 from the camels H1581 of his master H113, and went H1980 out with a variety H3605 of good H2898 things H2898 of his master’s H113 in his hand H3027; so he set H6965 out H6965 and went H1980 to [fn]Mesopotamia H763, to the city H5892 of Nahor H5152.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:12 - And he said H559, “LORD H3068, God H430 of my master H113 Abraham H85, please H4994 [fn]grant H7136 me success H7136 today H3117, and show H6213 kindness H2617 to my master H113 Abraham H85.

And it came about, before H2962 he had finished H3615 speaking H1696, that behold H2009, Rebekah H7259, who H834 was born H3205 to Bethuel H1328 the son H1121 of Milcah H4435, the wife H802 of Abraham’s H85 brother H251 Nahor H5152, came H3318 out H3318 with her jar H3537 on her shoulder H7926.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:16 - The young H5291 woman H5291 was very H3966 beautiful H2896, a virgin H1330; no H3808 man H376 had [fn]had H3045 relations H3045 with her. She went H3381 down H3381 to the spring H5869, filled H4390 her jar H3537, and came H5927 up H5927.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:17 - Then the servant H5650 ran H7323 to meet H7122 her, and said H559, “Please H4994 let me drink H1572 a little H4592 water H4325 from your jar H3537.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:18 - And she said H559, “Drink H8354, my lord H113”; then she quickly H4116 lowered H3381 her jar H3537 to her hand H3027, and gave H8248 him a H8248 drink H8248.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:19 - Now when she had finished H3615 giving H8248 him a H8248 drink H8248, she said H559, “I will also H1571 draw H7579 water for your camels H1581 until H5704 H518 they have finished H3615 drinking H8354.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:20 - So she quickly H4116 emptied H6168 her jar H3537 into the trough H8268, and ran H7323 back H5750 to the well H875 to draw H7579, and she drew H7579 for all H3605 his camels H1581.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:22 -

When H834 the camels H1581 had finished H3615 drinking H8354, the man H376 took H3947 a gold H2091 ring H5141 weighing H4948 a [fn]half-shekel H1235, and two H8147 bracelets H6781 for her [fn]wrists H3027 weighing H4948 ten H6235 shekels in gold H2091,

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:24 - She said H559 to him, “I am the daughter H1323 of Bethuel H1328, Milcah’s H4435 son H1121, whom H834 she bore H3205 to Nahor H5152.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:25 - Again she said H559 to him, “We have plenty H7227 of both H1571 straw H8401 and feed H4554, and room H4725 to stay H3885 overnight H3885.”

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:28 -

Then the young H5291 woman H5291 ran H7323 and told H5046 her mother’s H517 household H1004 about these H428 things H1697.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:29 - Now Rebekah H7259 had a brother H251 whose name H8034 was Laban H3837; and Laban H3837 ran H7323 outside H2351 to the man H376 at the spring H5869.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:30 - When he saw H7200 the ring H5141 and the bracelets H6781 on his sister’s H269 [fn]wrists H3027, and when he heard H8085 the words H1697 of his sister H269 Rebekah H7259, saying H559, “[fn]This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the man H376 said H1696 to me,” he went H935 to the man H376; and behold H2009, he was standing H5975 by the camels H1581 at the spring H5869.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:31 - And he said H559, “Come H935 in H935, blessed H1288 of the LORD H3068! Why H4100 do you stand H5975 outside H2351, since I have prepared H6437 the house H1004, and a place H4725 for the camels H1581?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:32 - So the man H376 entered H935 the house H1004. Then [fn]Laban unloaded H6605 the camels H1581, and he gave H5414 straw H8401 and feed H4554 to the camels H1581, and water H4325 to wash H7364 his feet H7272 and the feet H7272 of the men H376 who H834 were with him.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:41 - then H227 you will be H5352 free H5352 from my oath H423, when H3588 you come H935 to my relatives H4940; and if H518 they do not give H5414 her to you, you will be free H5355 from my oath H423.’
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:42 -

“So I came H935 today H3117 to the spring H5869, and said H559, ‘LORD H3068, God H430 of my master H113 Abraham H85, if H518 now H4994 You will make H6743 my journey H1870 on which H834 I have been going H1980 successful H6743;

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:43 - behold H2009, I am standing H5324 by the [fn]spring H5869, and may it be that the [fn]young H5959 unmarried H5959 woman H5959 who comes H3318 out H3318 to draw H7579 water, and to whom I say H559, “Please H4994 let H8248 me drink H8248 a little H4592 water H4325 from your jar H3537”;

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:45 -

“Before H2962 I had finished H3615 speaking H1696 in my heart H3820, behold H2009, Rebekah H7259 came H3318 out H3318 with her jar H3537 on her shoulder H7926, and went H3381 down H3381 to the spring H5869 and drew H7579 water, and I said H559 to her, ‘Please H4994 let H8248 me drink H8248.’

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:46 - “She quickly H4116 lowered H3381 her jar H3537 from her shoulder, and said H559, ‘Drink H8354, and I will water H8248 your camels H1581 also H1571’; so I drank H8354, and she watered H8248 the camels H1581 also H1571.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:47 - “Then I asked H7592 her, and said H559, ‘Whose H4310 daughter H1323 are you?’ And she said H559, ‘The daughter H1323 of Bethuel H1328, Nahor’s H5152 son H1121, whom H834 Milcah H4435 bore H3205 to him’; and I put H7760 the ring H5141 on her nose H639, and the bracelets H6781 on her [fn]wrists H3027.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:48 - “And I bowed H6915 low H6915 and worshiped H2331 the LORD H3068, and blessed H1288 the LORD H3068, the God H430 of my master H113 Abraham H85, who H834 had guided H5148 me in the right H571 way H1870 to take H3947 the daughter H1323 of my master’s H113 brother H251 for his son H1121.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:50 -

Then Laban H3837 and Bethuel H1328 replied H6030, “The matter H1697 has come H3318 from the LORD H3068; so we cannot H3201 H3808 speak H1696 to you bad H7451 or H176 good H2896.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:52 -

When H834 Abraham’s H85 servant H5650 heard H8085 their words H1697, he bowed H2331 himself to the ground H776 [fn]before the LORD H3068.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:54 - Then he and the men H376 who H834 were with him ate H398 and drank H8354 and spent H3885 the H3885 night H3885. When they got H6965 up H6965 in the morning H1242, he said H559, “Send H7971 me away H7971 to my master H113.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:55 - But her brother H251 and her mother H517 said H559, “Let the young H5291 woman H5291 stay H3427 with us a few days H3117, say H176 ten H6218; afterward H310 she may go H1980.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:56 - However, he said H559 to them, “Do not delay H309 me, since the LORD H3068 has prospered H6743 my way H1870. Send H7971 me away H7971 so that I may go H1980 to my master H113.”

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:59 - So they sent H7971 away H7971 their sister H269 Rebekah H7259 and her nurse H3243 with Abraham’s H85 servant H5650 and his men H376.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:60 - And they blessed H1288 Rebekah H7259 and said H559 to her,

And may your [fn]descendants H2233 possess H3423

The gate H8179 of those who hate H8130 them.”

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:61 -

Then Rebekah H7259 got H6965 up H6965 with her female H5291 attendants H5291, and they mounted H7392 the camels H1581 and followed H1980 H310 the man H376. So the servant H5650 took H3947 Rebekah H7259 and departed H1980.
