22 (A)Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. 23 (B)And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 (C)knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; (D)for[a] you serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and (E)there is no partiality.

Christian Graces; Final Greetings

Masters,(F) give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

35 The Lord (A)has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys. 36 And Sarah my master’s wife (B)bore a son to my master when she was old; and (C)to him he has given all that he has. 37 Now my master (D)made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell; 38 (E)but you shall go to my father’s house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.’ 39 (F)And I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.’ 40 (G)But he said to me, ‘The Lord, (H)before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and [a]prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father’s house. 41 (I)You will be clear from this oath when you arrive among my family; for if they will not give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.’

42 “And this day I came to the well and said, (J)‘O Lord God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go, 43 (K)behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,” 44 and she says to me, “Drink, and I will draw for your camels also,”—let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.’

45 (L)“But before I had finished (M)speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’ 46 And she made haste and let her pitcher down from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also.’ So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink also. 47 Then I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists. 48 (N)And I bowed my head and worshiped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to (O)take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son. 49 Now if you will (P)deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.”

So Abraham said (A)to the oldest servant of his house, who (B)ruled over all that he had, “Please, (C)put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you (D)swear[a] by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that (E)you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; (F)but you shall go (G)to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?”

But Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not take my son back there. The Lord God of heaven, who (H)took me from my father’s house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, (I)‘To your [b]descendants I give this land,’ (J)He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then (K)you will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there.” So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

10 Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, (L)for all his master’s goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to (M)the city of Nahor. 11 And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time (N)when women go out to draw water. 12 Then he (O)said, “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please (P)give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13 Behold, here (Q)I stand by the well of water, and (R)the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. 14 Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And (S)by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
