15 Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of (B)Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water jar on her shoulder. 16 The young woman (C)was very attractive in appearance, a maiden[b] whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.
