Genesis 24:21-23
Living Bible
21 The servant said no more, but watched her carefully to see if she would finish the job,[a] so that he would know whether she was the one. 22 Then at last, when the camels had finished drinking, he produced a quarter-ounce gold earring[b] and two five-ounce gold bracelets for her wrists.
23 “Whose daughter are you, miss?” he asked. “Would your father have any room to put us up for the night?”
