Genesis 24:20-22
Common English Bible
20 She emptied her water jar quickly into the watering trough, ran to the well again to draw water, and drew water for all of the camels. 21 The man stood gazing at her, wondering silently if the Lord had made his trip successful or not.
22 As soon as the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold ring, weighing a half shekel,[a] and two gold bracelets for her arms, weighing ten shekels.
