1599 Geneva Bible
14 [a]Grant therefore that the maid, to whom I say: Bow down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink: if she say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: may be she that thou hast ordained for thy servant Isaac: and thereby shall I know that thou hast showed mercy on my master.
15 ¶ And now yet he had left speaking, behold, [b]Rebekah came out, the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah the wife of Nahor Abraham’s brother, and her Pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 (And the maid was very fair to look upon, a virgin and unknown of man) and she [c]went down to the well, and filled her pitcher and came up.

New International Version
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,(A) and I’ll water your camels too’(B)—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac.(C) By this I will know(D) that you have shown kindness to my master.”
15 Before he had finished praying,(E) Rebekah(F) came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel(G) son of Milkah,(H) who was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.(I) 16 The woman was very beautiful,(J) a virgin;(K) no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again.
