15 E aconteceu que antes que ele acabasse de falar, eis que Rebeca, que havia nascido a Betuel, filho de Milca, mulher de Naor irmão de Abraão, a qual saía com seu cântaro sobre seu ombro.

16 E a moça era de muito belo aspecto, virgem, à que homem não havia conhecido; a qual desceu à fonte, e encheu seu cântaro, e se voltava.

17 Então o criado correu até ela, e disse: Rogo-te que me dês a beber um pouco de água de teu cântaro.

18 E ela respondeu: Bebe, meu senhor; e apressou-se a baixar seu cântaro sobre sua mão, e lhe deu a beber.

19 E quando acabou de dar-lhe de beber, disse: Também para teus camelos tirarei água, até que acabem de beber.
