LESSON 9 MAKE A DIFFERENCE 

 

Genesis 24: 12-24, 61-67

 

Genesis 24:12–24 (KJV 1900): 12 And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. 

13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. 

15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. 

16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. 

17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. 

18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 

19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking. 

20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. 21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not. 

22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold; 

23 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in? 

24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

 

Genesis 24:61–67 (KJV 1900): 61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way. 

62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country. 63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming. 

64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. 

65 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself. 

66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. 

67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
