Genesis 24:12-22

New King James Version

¹² Then he ^(A)said, “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please ^(B)give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. ¹³ Behold, here ^(C)I stand by the well of water, and ^(D)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.

²² So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden ^(L)nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold,
