¹⁴ Let the young woman to whom I shall say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who shall say, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels’—let her be the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac. ^(A)By this^[a] I shall know that you have shown steadfast love to my master.”

¹⁶ The young woman ^(A)was very attractive in appearance, a maiden^[a] whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.

²¹ The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the Lord had prospered his journey or not.

³¹ He said, “Come in, ^(A)O blessed of the Lord. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”

⁴⁹ Now then, if you are going to ^(A)show steadfast love and faithfulness to my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.”

⁶³ And Isaac went out ^(A)to meditate in the field toward evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, there were camels coming.

⁶⁵ and said to the servant, “Who is that man, walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took her veil and covered herself.
