15Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor.

“Now, the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin, no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher and came up.”

“and the servant ran to meet her and said, please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.”
“And the servant ran to meet her and he said, let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.”

18"Drink, my lord," she replied, and she quickly lowered her jar to her hands and gave him a drink.

“when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also until they have finished drinking.”
“when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also until they have finished drinking.”

“And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also until they have done drinking.”
“And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.”
20And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the well to draw water, until she had drawn water for all his camels.
“Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water and drew for all his camels.”
“So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the well to draw and she drew for all his camels.”

“"...And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran again into the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.".”
“And she hurried and emptied her pitcher into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water and drew for all his camels.”

“"...and the man, wondering at her, held his peace, to wit, whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.".”

24She replied, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milcah bore to Nahor."
“And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.”
“she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah's son, whom she bore to Nahor.”

25Then she added, "We have plenty of straw and feed, as well as a place for you to spend the night."
“moreover, she said to him, we have both straw and feed enough and room to lodge.”
“Moreover, she said to him, we have both straw and feed enough and room to lodge.”

27saying, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld His kindness and faithfulness from my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives."

30As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and heard Rebekah's words, "The man said this to me," he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.
“"...it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah, his sister saying, Thus spake the man unto me, that he came unto the man, and behold, he stood by the…”

31"Come, you who are blessed by the LORD," said Laban. "Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels."
“and he said, Come in, blessed of the Lord. Why do you stand outside, since I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?”
“And he said, "...Come in, thou blessed of the Lord, wherefore standest thou without? For I have prepared the house and room for the camels.".”
“And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the lord, wherefore standest thou without? For I have prepared the house and room for the camels.”

“And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the Lord, wherefore standest thou outside? For I have prepared the house and room for the camels.”
32So the man came to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and feed were brought to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of his companions.

42So when I came to the spring today, I prayed: O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if only You would make my journey a success!
“And this day I came to the well and I said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, if you will now prosper the way in which I go,”
“And I came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, If now thou do prosper my way which I go,”

“And I came this day unto the well, and said, O lord God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way, I go.”
43Here I am, standing beside this spring. Now if a maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, 'Please let me drink a little water from your jar,'
“behold, I stand by the well of water and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water and I say to her, Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink.”
“behold, I am standing by the spring and may it be that the maiden who comes out to draw and to whom I say, please let me drink a little water from your jar.”

“Behold, I stand by the well of water, and it shall come to pass that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink.”
44and she replies, 'Drink, and I will draw water for your camels as well,' may she be the woman the LORD has appointed for my master's son.
“And she says to me, Drink, and I will draw for your camels also. Let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed for my master's son.”
“And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels. Let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master's son.”

“And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels. Let the same be the woman whom the lord hath appointed out for my master's son.”
45And before I had finished praying in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her jar on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
“But before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebecca coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder. And she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, Please let me drink.”
“Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebecca came out with her jar on her shoulder and went down to the spring and drew. And I said to her, please let me drink.”

“And before I done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebecca came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and she went down unto the well, and drew water. And I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.”
46She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I will water your camels as well.' So I drank, and she also watered the camels.
“And she made haste and let her pitcher down from her shoulder and said, Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also. So I drank and she gave the camels a drink also.”
“she quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, drink and I will water your camels also. So I drank and she watered the camels also.”

47Then I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' She replied, 'The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
“Then I asked her and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Melchah bore to him. So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrist.”

“And I asked her, and she said, Whose daughter art thou? She said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom milker bear unto him. And I put the earing upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.”
48Then I bowed down and worshiped the LORD; and I blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who led me on the right road to take the granddaughter of my master's brother for his son.
“And I bowed my head and I worshiped the Lord and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master's brothers for his son.”
