48 Puis je me suis incliné et prosterné devant l’Éternel, et j’ai béni l’Éternel, le Dieu de mon seigneur Abraham, qui m’a conduit fidèlement, afin que je prisse la fille du frère de mon seigneur pour son fils.

49 Maintenant, si vous voulez user de bienveillance et de fidélité envers mon seigneur, déclarez-le-moi; sinon, déclarez-le-moi, et je me tournerai à droite ou à gauche.
