15 Before he had finished speaking, there was Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, coming out with her water jar on her shoulder.(A) 16 The young woman was very fair to look upon, a virgin, whom no man had known. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up.(B) 17 Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me sip a little water from your jar.” 18 “Drink, my lord,” she said and quickly lowered her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink.(C) 19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”(D) 20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels. 21 The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey successful.(E)
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold nose ring weighing a half shekel and two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels(F) 23 and said, “Tell me whose daughter you are. Is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?” 24 She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”(G)

She was the daughter of Bethuel(C) son of Milkah,(D) who was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.(E) 16 The woman was very beautiful,(F) a virgin;(G) no man had ever slept with her.

17 The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.”(H)
18 “Drink,(I) my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink.
19 After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels(J) too,(K) until they have had enough to drink.” 20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels.(L) 21 Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey successful.(M)
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring(N) weighing a beka[a] and two gold bracelets(O) weighing ten shekels.[b] 23 Then he asked, “Whose daughter are you?(P) Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?(Q)”
