Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:19 - Now when she had finished H3615 giving H8248 him a drink, H8248 she said, H559 “I will draw H7579 also H1571 for your camels H1581 until H5704 H518 they have finished H3615 drinking.” H8354

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 Rebekah H7259 his sister, H269 saying, H559[fn]This H3541 is 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, 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.
