¹⁰ Then the servant left, taking with him ten of his master’s camels^(A) loaded with all kinds of good things^(B) from his master. He set out for Aram Naharaim^[a](C) and made his way to the town of Nahor.^{(D) 11} He had the camels kneel down near the well^(E) outside the town; it was toward evening, the time the women go out to draw water.^(F)

¹² Then he prayed, “Lord, God of my master Abraham,^(G) make me successful^(H) today, and show kindness^(I) to my master Abraham. ¹³ See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.^{(J) 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,^(K) and I’ll water your camels too’^(L)—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac.^(M) By this I will know^(N) that you have shown kindness to my master.”
