shoulder,
and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels
drink also.

art
thou? And she said, The daughter of
Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the
bracelets upon her hands.

And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the L
ORD
, and blessed
the L
ORD
God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s
brother’s daughter unto his son.
49
And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell
me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
50

answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the L
ORD

Behold, Rebekah
is
before thee, take
her,
and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the
L
ORD
hath spoken.

and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave
them
to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her

were
with him, and
tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
55
And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us
a few
days, at the least ten;
after that she shall go.
56
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the L
ORD
hath prospered
my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57
And they said, We will call the damsel, and
enquire at her mouth.

art
our sister, be thou
the mother
of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

is
my
master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.

he had done.

Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan.
