13
I am standing here at the spring where the daughters of the men of the town are coming out to draw water.
Genesis 24:13 In-Context
11
He had the camels kneel down near the well outside the town; it was toward evening, the time the women go out to draw water.
12
Then he prayed, “LORD, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13
See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.
14
May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too’—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”
15
Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milkah, who was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.
