Bible Verses About Servants

this will release you from your obligation under my oath. But if, when you come to my kinsmen, they refuse to give her to you, this too will release you from my oath.'

"So today, I came to the spring and said, 'ADONAI, God of my master Avraham, if you are causing my trip to succeed in its purpose,

then, here I am, standing by the spring. I will say to one of the girls coming out to draw water, "Let me have a sip of water from your jug."

If she answers, "Yes, drink; and I will water your camels as well," then let her be the woman you intend for my master's son.'

And even before I had finished speaking to my heart, there came Rivkah, going out with her jug on her shoulder; she went down to the spring and drew water. When I said to her, 'Please let me have a drink,'

she immediately lowered the jug from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I will water your camels as well.'So I drank, and she had the camels drink too.

"I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' and she answered, 'The daughter of B'tu'el son of Nachor, whom Milkah bore to him.'Then I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists,

bowed my head, prostrated myself before ADONAI and blessed ADONAI, God of my master Avraham, for having led me in the right way to obtain my master's brother's [grand]daughter for his son.

"So now if you people intend to show grace and truth to my master, tell me. But if not, tell me, so that I can turn elsewhere."

Lavan and B'tu'el replied, "Since this comes from ADONAI, we can't say anything to you either bad or good.

Rivkah is here in front of you; take her and go. Let her be your master's son's wife, as ADONAI has said."

When Avraham's servant heard what they said, he prostrated himself on the ground to ADONAI.

Then the servant brought out silver and gold jewelry, together with clothing, and gave them to Rivkah. He also gave valuable gifts to her brother and mother.

He and his men then ate and drank and stayed the night. In the morning they got up; and he said, "Send me off to my master."

Her brother and mother said, "Let the girl stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that, she will go."

He answered them, "Don't delay me, since ADONAI has made my trip successful, but let me go back to my master."

They said, "We will call the girl and see what she says."

They called Rivkah and asked her, "Will you go with this man?" and she replied, "I will."

So they sent their sister Rivkah away, with her nurse, Avraham's servant and his men.

They blessed Rivkah with these words: "Our sister, may you be the mother of millions, and may your descendants possess the cities of those who hate them."

Then Rivkah and her maids mounted the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rivkah and went on his way.

Meanwhile, Yitz'chak, one evening after coming along the road from Be'er-Lachai-Ro'i - he was living in the Negev -

went out walking in the field; and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching.

Rivkah too looked up; and when she saw Yitz'chak, she quickly dismounted the camel.

She said to the servant,"Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?"When the servant replied, "It's my master," she took her veil and covered herself.
