Abraham's servant was tasked with finding a wife for Isaac from Abraham's family. The servant took 10 camels and gifts and traveled to Aram-naharaim, where Rebekah approached the well as the women were drawing water. When the servant asked for a drink, Rebekah offered to water his camels as well. After she did so, the servant gifted her bracelets and a nose ring, and asked whose daughter she was. Rebekah said she was the daughter of Bethuel and there was room at their house to spend the night. The servant then praised God for leading him to his master's relatives.

2. 2
 Gen 24:1 Now Abraham had grown old, was
well advanced in age, and the LORD had
 blessed Abraham in every way.
 Gen 24:2 So Abraham instructed his servant,
who was the oldest member of his household
and in charge of everything he owned, "Make
this solemn oath to me
 Gen 24:3 as a promise to the LORD, the God
of heaven and earth, that you won't acquire a
wife for my son from the Canaanite women
among whom I'm living.

3. 3
 Gen 24:4 Instead, you are to go to my
country and to my family and acquire a
wife for my son Isaac."
 Gen 24:5 "What if the woman doesn't
want to come back with me to this
land?" the servant asked. "Shouldn't I
have
 your son go to the land from which you
came?"
 Gen 24:6 "Make sure not to take my
 son there," Abraham replied.

4. 4
 Gen 24:7 The LORD God of heaven, who
brought me from my father's house and
 from my family's land, who spoke to me
 and promised me 'I will give this land to
 your descendants,' will send his angel
 ahead of you, and you are to acquire a
 wife for my son from there.
 Gen 24:8 If the woman isn't willing to
 follow you, then you'll be free from this
 oath to me. Just don't take my son back
 there!"

5. 5
 Gen 24:9 So the servant made a solemn oath
to his master Abraham regarding this matter.
 Gen 24:10 Then Abraham's servant took ten
camels from his master's herd of camels and
left on his journey with all kinds of gifts from
his master's inventory. Eventually, he traveled
as far as Aram-naharaim, Nahor's home town.
 Gen 24:11 As evening approached, he had
 the camels kneel outside the town at the
 water well, right about the time when women
 customarily went out to draw water.

6. 6
 Gen 24:12 That's when he prayed, "LORD
 God of my master Abraham, help me to
 succeed today. Please show your gracious love to
my master Abraham.
 Gen 24:13 I've stationed myself here by the
 spring as the women of the town come to
 draw water.
 Gen 24:14 May it be that the young woman
 to whom I ask, 'Please, lower your jug so that I may
drink,' responds, 'Have a drink, and I'll water your
camels as well.' May she be the
 one whom you have chosen for your servant
 Isaac. This is how I'll know that you have
 shown your gracious love to my master."

7. 7
 Gen 24:15 Before he had finished speaking,
 Rebekah appeared. She was a daughter of
 Milcah's son Bethuel. (Milcah was the wife
of
 Abraham's brother Nahor.) She approached
the
 well, carrying a jug on her shoulder.
 Gen 24:16 The woman was very beautiful,
 young, and had not had intimate relations
with a man. Going down to the spring, she
filled her

8. 8
 Gen 24:18 "Drink, sir!" she replied as she
 quickly lowered her jug on her arm to offer
 him a drink.
 Gen 24:19 When she had finished giving
 him a drink, she also said, "I'll also draw
 water for your camels until they've
 had enough to drink."
 Gen 24:20 She quickly emptied her jug into t
he trough and ran to the well to draw again u
ntil she had drawn enough water for all ten of
the servant's camels.

9. 9
 Gen 24:21 The man stared at her in
 silence, waiting to see whether or not
 the LORD had made his journey successful.
 Gen 24:22 When the camels had
 finished drinking, the man took out a
 gold nose ring weighing a half shekel
 and two bracelets for her wrists, weighing 10
shekels and presented them to her.
 Gen 24:23 He asked her, "Whose daughter
are you? Please tell me, is there room in
 your father's house for us to spend the
night?"

10. 10
 Gen 24:24 "I am the daughter of
 Bethuel," she answered. He's the son of
Milcah and Nahor.
 Gen 24:25 Yes," she continued, "we
 have plenty of straw and feed, as well
 as a place to spend the night."
 Gen 24:26 At this, the man bowed
 down and worshipped the LORD.

11.  Gen 24:27 "Blessed be the LORD
God of my master Abraham, who
hasn't held back his gracious love
and faithfulness from my master!
The LORD has led me
 to the house of my master's
relatives!"

 Mat 5:38 "You have heard that it was said,
 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'
 Mat 5:39 But I tell you not to resist an evildoer.
 On the contrary, whoever slaps you on the right
 cheek, turn the other to him as well.
 Mat 5:40 If anyone wants to sue you and take
 your shirt, let him have your coat as well.
 Mat 5:41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile,
go two with him.
 Mat 5:42 Give to the person who asks you for
something, and do not turn away from the person

14. 14
 Mat 5:43 "You have heard that it was
 said, 'You must love your neighbor' and
hate your enemy.
 Mat 5:44 But I say to you, love your
 enemies, and pray for those who
persecute you,

15.  Mat 5:45 so that you will become
 children of your Father in heaven,
 because he makes his sun rise on
both
 evil and good people, and he lets
rain fall on the righteous and the
unrighteous.

 Mat 5:46 If you love those who
 love you, what reward will you have?
Even the tax collectors do the same,
don't they?
 Mat 5:47 And if you greet only your

 you're doing, is it? Even the gentiles
do the same, don't they?
 Mat 5:48 So be perfect, as your
 heavenly Father is perfect."
