 24:1 ¶ And Abraham 85 was olde 2204 z8804 [and] well stricken 935 z8804 in age: 3117 And the LORD 3068 had blessed 1288 z8765 x853 Abraham 85 in all things. x3605

 24:2 And Abraham 85 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 his eldest 2205 seruant 5650 of his house, 1004 that ruled x4910 ouer y4910 z8802 all x3605 that x834 he had, Put, 7760 z8798 I pray thee, x4994 thy hand 3027 vnder x8478 my thigh: 3409

 24:3 And I will make thee sweare 7650 z8686 by the LORD 3068 the God 430 of heauen, 8064 and the God 430 of the earth, 776 that x834 thou shalt not x3808 take 3947 z8799 a wife 802 vnto my sonne 1121 of the daughters 1323 x4480 of the Canaanites 3669 amongst 7130 whom x834 I x595 dwell. 3427 z8802

 24:4 But x3588 thou shalt go y3212 z8799 x1980 vnto x413 my countrey, 776 and to x413 my kinred, 4138 and take 3947 z8804 a wife 802 vnto my sonne 1121 Isaac. 3327

 24:5 And the seruant 5650 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 him, Peraduenture x194 the woman 802 will not x3808 bee willing 14 z8799 to follow y3212 z8800 x1980 x310 mee y310 vnto x413 this x2063 land: 776 must I needes bring 7725 z8687 x853 thy sonne 1121 againe, y7725 z8686 vnto x413 the land 776 from whence x834 x4480 x8033 thou camest? 3318 z8804

 24:6 And Abraham 85 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 him, Beware 8104 z8734 thou, that x6435 thou bring 7725 z0 not y6435 x853 my sonne 1121 thither x8033 againe. y7725 z8686

 24:7 ¶ The LORD 3068 God 430 of heauen 8064 which x834 tooke x3947 mee y3947 z8804 from my fathers y1 house, 1004 x4480 x1 and from the land 776 x4480 of my kindred, 4138 and which x834 spake 1696 z8765 vnto mee, and that x834 sware 7650 z8738 vnto me, saying, 559 z8800 Unto thy seed 2233 will I giue 5414 z8799 x853 this x2063 land, 776 he x1931 shall send 7971 z8799 his Angel 4397 before x6440 thee, y6440 and thou shalt take 3947 z8804 a wife 802 vnto my sonne 1121 from thence. x4480 x8033

 24:8 And if x518 the woman 802 wil not x3808 be willing 14 z8799 to follow y3212 z8800 x1980 x310 thee, y310 then thou shalt bee cleare 5352 z8738 from this my othe: 7621 x4480 x2063 onely x7535 bring 7725 z0 not x3808 x853 my sonne 1121 thither x8033 againe. y7725 z8686

 24:9 And the seruant 5650 put 7760 z8799 x853 his hand 3027 vnder x8478 the thigh 3409 of Abraham 85 his master, 113 and sware 7650 z8735 to him concerning 5921 that 2088 matter. 1697

 24:10 ¶ And the seruant 5650 tooke 3947 z8799 ten 6235 camels, 1581 of the camels 1581 x4480 of his master, 113 and departed, y3212 z8799 x1980 (for all x3605 the goods 2898 of his master 113 were in his hand) 3027 and he arose, 6965 z8799 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 to x413 Mesopotamia, 763 vnto x413 the citie 5892 of Nahor. 5152

 24:11 And he made y1288 z0 his camels 1581 to kneele downe 1288 z8686 without 2351 x4480 the citie, 5892 by 413 a well 875 of water, 4325 at the time 6256 of the euening, 6153 [euen] the time 6256 that women goe out 3318 z8800 to draw 7579 z8802 [water].

 24:12 And he said, 559 z8799 O LORD, 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham, 85 I pray thee x4994 send me y6440 good speed 7136 z8685 x6440 this day, 3117 and shew 6213 z8798 kindnesse 2617 vnto 5973 my master 113 Abraham. 85

 24:13 Behold, x2009 I x595 stand 5324 z8737 here by x5921 the well 5869 of water; 4325 and the daughters 1323 of the men y582 x376 of the Citie 5892 come out 3318 z8802 to draw 7579 z8800 water: 4325

 24:14 And let it come to passe, x1961 that the damsell 5291 to whom x834 I shall say, 559 z8799 x413 Let downe 5186 z8685 thy pitcher, 3537 I pray thee, x4994 that I may drinke, 8354 z8799 and she shall say, 559 z8804 Drinke, 8354 z8798 and I will giue y8248 z0 thy camels 1581 drinke 8248 z8686 also; x1571 let the same be shee that thou hast appointed 3198 z8689 for thy seruant 5650 Isaac: 3327 and thereby shall I know 3045 z8799 that x3588 thou hast shewed 6213 z8804 kindnesse 2617 vnto x5973 my master. 113

 24:15 ¶ And it came to passe x1961 before x2962 hee x1931 had done 3615 z8765 speaking, 1696 z8763 that behold, x2009 Rebekah 7259 came out, 3318 z8802 who 834 was borne 3205 z8795 to Bethuel, 1328 sonne 1121 of Milcah, 4435 the wife 802 of Nahor 5152 Abrahams 85 brother, 251 with her pitcher 3537 vpon x5921 her shoulder. 7926

 24:16 And the damsell 5291 was very 3966 faire 2896 to looke vpon, 4758 a virgine, 1330 neither x3808 had any man 376 knowen 3045 z8804 her; and shee went downe 3381 z8799 to the wel, 5869 and filled 4390 z8762 her pitcher, 3537 and came vp. 5927 z8799

 24:17 And the seruant 5650 ranne 7323 z8799 to meete x7125 her, y7125 z8800 and said, 559 z8799 Let mee (I pray thee) x4994 drinke 1572 z8685 a little 4592 water 4325 of thy pitcher. 3537 x4480

 24:18 And she said, 559 z8799 Drinke, 8354 z8798 my lord: 113 and she hasted, 4116 z8762 and let downe 3381 z8686 her pitcher 3537 vpon x5921 her hand, 3027 and gaue him drinke. 8248 z8686

 24:19 And when shee had done 3615 z8762 giuing him drinke, 8248 z8687 she said, 559 z8799 I will draw 7579 z8799 water for thy camels 1581 also, x1571 vntill x5704 x518 they haue done 3615 z8765 drinking. 8354 z8800

 24:20 And she hasted 4116 z8762 and emptied 6168 z8762 her pitcher 3537 into x413 the trough, 8268 and ranne 7323 z8799 againe x5750 vnto x413 the well 875 to draw 7579 z8800 [water], and drew 7579 z8799 for all x3605 his camels. 1581

 24:21 And the man 376 wondering 7583 z8693 at her, helde his peace, 2790 z8688 to wit, 3045 z8800 whether the LORD 3068 had made y6743 z0 his iourney 1870 prosperous, 6743 z8689 or 518 not. x3808

 24:22 And it came to passe x1961 as x834 the camels 1581 had done 3615 z8765 drinking, 8354 z8800 that the man 376 tooke 3947 z8799 a golden 2091 eare-ring, 5141 of halfe a shekel 1235 weight, 4948 & two 8147 bracelets 6781 for x5921 her handes, 3027 of ten 6235 [shekels] weight 4948 of gold, 2091

 24:23 And said, 559 z8799 Whose 4310 daughter 1323 art thou? 859 tell 5046 z8685 mee, I pray thee: x4994 is there 3426 roome 4725 in thy fathers 1 house 1004 for vs to lodge in? 3885 z8800

 24:24 And she said 559 z8799 vnto x413 him, I x595 am the daughter 1323 of Bethuel 1328 the sonne 1121 of Milcah, 4435 which x834 she bare 3205 z8804 vnto Nahor: 5152

 24:25 She said 559 z8799 moreouer vnto x413 him, We haue both 1571 straw 8401 & x1571 prouender 4554 ynough, 7227 and 1571 roome 4725 to lodge in. 3885 z8800

 24:26 And the man 376 bowed downe his head, 6915 z8799 and worshipped 7812 z8691 the LORD. 3068

 24:27 And hee saide, 559 z8799 Blessed 1288 z8803 [bee] the LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham, 85 who x834 hath not x3808 left destitute 5800 5973 z8804 x4480 my master 113 of his mercy, 2617 and his trueth: 571 I x595 being in the way, 1870 the LORD 3068 led x5148 me y5148 z8804 to the house 1004 of my masters 113 brethren. 251

 24:28 And the damsell 5291 ranne, 7323 z8799 and told 5046 z8686 [them of] her mothers 517 house, 1004 these x428 things. 1697

 24:29 ¶ And Rebekah 7259 had a brother, 251 and his name 8034 [was] Laban: 3837 and Laban 3837 ranne 7323 z8799 out 2351 vnto x413 the man, 376 vnto x413 the well. 5869

 24:30 And it came to passe x1961 when he saw 7200 z8800 x853 the eare-ring, 5141 and bracelets 6781 vpon x5921 his sisters 269 hands, 3027 and when hee heard 8085 z8800 x853 the wordes 1697 of Rebekah 7259 his sister, 269 saying, 559 z8800 Thus 3541 spake 1696 z8765 the man 376 vnto x413 me, that he came 935 z8799 vnto x413 the man; 376 and behold, x2009 hee stood 5975 z8802 by 5921 the camels, 1581 at x5921 the well. 5869

 24:31 And he said, 559 z8799 Come in, 935 z8798 thou blessed 1288 z8803 of the LORD, 3068 wherefore x4100 standest 5975 z8799 thou without? 2351 for I x595 haue prepared 6437 z8765 the house, 1004 and roome 4725 for the camels. 1581

 24:32 ¶ And the man 376 came 935 z8799 into the house: 1004 and he vngirded 6605 z8762 his camels, 1581 and gaue 5414 z8799 straw 8401 and prouender 4554 for the camels, 1581 and water 4325 to wash 7364 z8800 his feet, 7272 and the mens y582 x376 feet 7272 that x834 [were] with x854 him.

 24:33 And there was set 7760 z8714 z8675 y3455 z8799 [meat] before x6440 him y6440 to eate: 398 z8800 but he said, 559 z8799 I will not x3808 eate, 398 z8799 vntill x5704 x518 I haue tolde 1696 z8765 mine errand. 1697 And hee said, 559 z8799 Speake on. 1696 z8761

 24:34 And he said, 559 z8799 I x595 [am] Abrahams 85 seruant. 5650

 24:35 And the LORD 3068 hath blessed 1288 z8765 x853 my master 113 greatly, 3966 and hee is become great: 1431 z8799 and hee hath giuen 5414 z8799 him flocks, 6629 and heards, 1241 and siluer, 3701 and gold, 2091 and men seruants, 5650 and mayd seruants, 8198 and camels, 1581 and asses. 2543

 24:36 And Sarah 8283 my masters 113 wife 802 bare 3205 z8799 a sonne 1121 to my master 113 when 310 shee was old: 2209 and vnto him hath hee giuen 5414 z8799 x853 all x3605 that x834 he hath.

 24:37 And my master 113 made me sweare, 7650 z8686 saying, 559 z8800 Thou shalt not x3808 take 3947 z8799 a wife 802 to my sonne, 1121 of the daughters 1323 x4480 of the Canaanites, 3669 in whose x834 land 776 I x595 dwell: 3427 z8802

 24:38 But 518 x3808 thou shalt goe y3212 z8799 x1980 vnto x413 my fathers 1 house, 1004 and to x413 my kinred, 4940 and take 3947 z8804 a wife 802 vnto my sonne. 1121

 24:39 And I said 559 z8799 vnto x413 my master, 113 Peraduenture x194 the woman 802 will not x3808 followe 310 y3212 z8799 x1980 me.

 24:40 And hee saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 me, The LORD, 3068 before 6440 whom x834 I walke, 1980 z8694 will send 7971 z8799 his Angel 4397 with x854 thee, and prosper 6743 z8689 thy way: 1870 and thou shalt take 3947 z8804 a wife 802 for my sonne, 1121 of my kinred, 4940 x4480 and of my fathers y1 house. 1004 x4480 x1

 24:41 Then x227 shalt thou bee cleare 5352 z8735 from this my oath, 423 x4480 when x3588 thou commest 935 z8799 to x413 my kinred, 4940 and if x518 they giue 5414 z8799 not x3808 thee [one], thou shalt be x1961 cleare 5355 from my oath. 423 x4480

 24:42 And I came 935 z8799 this day 3117 vnto x413 the well, 5869 and said, 559 z8799 O LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham, 85 if x518 now x4994 thou doe 3426 prosper 6743 z8688 my way, 1870 which x834 x5921 I x595 goe: 1980 z8802

 24:43 Behold, x2009 I x595 stand 5324 z8737 by x5921 the well 5869 of water; 4325 and it shall come to passe, x1961 that when the virgine 5959 commeth foorth 3318 z8802 to draw 7579 z8800 [water], and I say 559 z8804 to x413 her, Giue me, y8248 z0 I pray thee, x4994 a litle 4592 water 4325 of thy pitcher 3537 x4480 to drinke; 8248 z8685

 24:44 And she say 559 z8804 to x413 me, Both x1571 drinke 8354 z8798 thou, x859 and I will also x1571 draw 7579 z8799 for thy camels: 1581 let the same x1931 be the woman, 802 who x834 the LORD 3068 hath appointed out 3198 z8689 for my masters 113 sonne. 1121

 24:45 And before x2962 I x589 had done 3615 z8762 speaking 1696 z8763 in x413 mine heart, 3820 behold, x2009 Rebekah 7259 came forth, 3318 z8802 with her pitcher 3537 on x5921 her shoulder; 7926 and she went downe 3381 z8799 vnto the well, 5869 and drew 7579 z8799 [water]: and I said 559 z8799 vnto x413 her, Let me drinke, 8248 z8685 I pray thee. x4994

 24:46 And she made haste, 4116 z8762 & let downe 3381 z8686 her pitcher 3537 from x4480 x5921 her [shoulder], and saide, 559 z8799 Drinke, 8354 z8798 and I will giue y8248 z0 thy camels 1581 drinke 8248 z8686 also: x1571 so I dranke, 8354 z8799 and she made y8248 z0 the camels 1581 drinke y8248 z8689 x8354 also. x1571

 24:47 And I asked 7592 z8799 her, and said, 559 z8799 Whose x4310 daughter 1323 art thou? x859 and she said, 559 z8799 The daughter 1323 of Bethuel, 1328 Nahors 5152 sonne, 1121 whom x834 Milcah 4435 bare 3205 z8804 vnto him: and I put 7760 z8799 the earering 5141 vpon x5921 her face, 639 and the bracelets 6781 vpon x5921 her hands. 3027

 24:48 And I bowed downe my head, 6915 z8799 and worshipped 7812 z8691 the LORD, 3068 and blessed 1288 z8762 x853 the LORD 3068 God 430 of my master 113 Abraham, 85 which x834 had led x5148 mee y5148 z8689 in the right 571 way 1870 to take 3947 z8800 x853 my masters 113 brothers 251 daughter 1323 vnto his sonne. 1121

 24:49 And now x6258 if x518 you wil 3426 deale 6213 z8802 kindly 2617 and truely 571 with x854 my master, 113 tell 5046 z8685 me: and if x518 not, x3808 tell 5046 z8685 me, that I may turne 6437 z8799 to x5921 the right hand, 3225 or 176 to x5921 the left. 8040

 24:50 Then Laban 3837 and Bethuel 1328 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 The thing 1697 proceedeth 3318 z8804 from the LORD: 3068 x4480 we cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 speake 1696 z8763 vnto x413 thee bad 7451 or 176 good. 2896

 24:51 Behold, x2009 Rebekah 7259 is before x6440 thee, y6440 take 3947 z8798 [her], and goe, y3212 z8798 x1980 and let her be x1961 thy masters 113 sonnes 1121 wife, 802 as x834 the LORD 3068 hath spoken. 1696 z8765

 24:52 And it came to passe, x1961 that when x834 Abrahams 85 seruant 5650 heard 8085 z8804 x853 their words, 1697 he worshipped 7812 z8691 the LORD, 3068 [bowing] himselfe to the earth. 776

 24:53 And the seruant 5650 brought foorth 3318 z8686 iewels 3627 of siluer, 3701 and iewels 3627 of gold, 2091 and raiment, 899 and gaue 5414 z8799 [them] to Rebekah: 7259 He gaue 5414 z8804 also to her brother, 251 and to her mother 517 precious things. 4030

 24:54 And they did eate 398 z8799 and drinke, 8354 z8799 he x1931 and the men y582 x376 that x834 were with x5973 him, and taried all night, 3885 z8799 and they rose vp 6965 z8799 in the morning, 1242 and he said, 559 z8799 Send me away 7971 z8761 vnto my master. 113

 24:55 And her brother 251 and her mother 517 said, 559 z8799 Let the damsell 5291 abide 3427 z8799 with x854 vs [a few] dayes, 3117 at the least 176 ten; 6218 after y310 that, x310 she shall goe. y3212 z8799 x1980

 24:56 And he said 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, Hinder x309 me y309 z8762 not, x408 seeing the LORD 3068 hath prospered 6743 z8689 my way: 1870 send me away, 7971 z8761 that I may goe y3212 z8799 x1980 to my master. 113

 24:57 And they said, 559 z8799 Wee will call 7121 z8799 the Damsell, 5291 and enquire 7592 z8799 at x853 her mouth. 6310

 24:58 And they called 7121 z8799 Rebekah, 7259 and said 559 z8799 vnto x413 her, Wilt thou go y3212 z8799 x1980 with x5973 this x2088 man? 376 and she said, 559 z8799 I will goe. y3212 z8799 x1980
