An exceeding comely maid, and a most beautiful virgin, and not
known to man: and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher,
and was coming back.
24:17. And the servant ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water
to drink of thy pitcher.
24:18. And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the
pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink.
24:19. And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels
also, till they all drink.
24:20. And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the
well to draw water; and having drawn, she gave to all the camels.
24:21. But he musing, beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether
the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
24:22. And after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden
earrings, weighing two sicles; and as many bracelets, of ten sicles
weight.
24:23. And he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there
any place in thy father's house to lodge?
24:24. And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of
Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
24:25. And she said, moreover, to him: We have good store of both straw
and hay, and a large place to lodge in.
