Genesis 24:42-45

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴² ‘Today when I came to the spring, I prayed: Lord, God of my master Abraham, if only you will make my journey successful! ⁴³ I am standing here at a spring. Let the young woman^[a] who comes out to draw water, and I say to her, “Please let me drink a little water from your jug,” ⁴⁴ and who responds to me, “Drink, and I’ll draw water for your camels also” – let her be the woman the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.

⁴⁵ ‘Before I had finished praying silently,^(A) there was Rebekah coming with her jug on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, “Please let me have a drink.”
