Genesis 24:22-28
English Standard Version
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half shekel,[a] and two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels, 23 and said, “Please 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, (A)“I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.” 25 She added, “We have plenty of both straw and fodder, and room to spend the night.” 26 (B)The man bowed his head and worshiped the Lord 27 and said, “Blessed be the Lord, (C)the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken (D)his steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master. As for me, the Lord (E)has led me in the way to the house of my master's kinsmen.” 28 Then the young woman ran and told her mother's household about these things.
