DAY 17
GENESIS + PROVERB + MATTHEW + REVELATION
Matthew Chapter 17
17:1And after six days Yahshua taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
17:2And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
17:3And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Eliyah talking with him.
17:4Then answered Peter, and said unto Yahshua, Master, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Eliyah.
17:5While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
17:6And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
17:7And Yahshua came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
17:8And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Yahshua only.
17:9And as they came down from the mountain, Yahshua charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
17:10And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Eliyah must first come?
17:11And Yahshua answered and said unto them, Eliyah truly shall first come, and restore all things.
17:12But I say unto you, That Eliyah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
17:13Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
17:14And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
17:15Master, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
17:16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17:17Then Yahshua answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
17:18And Yahshua rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
17:19Then came the disciples to Yahshua apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
17:20And Yahshua said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
17:21Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
17:22And while they abode in Galilee, Yahshua said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
17:23And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
17:24And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
17:25He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Yahshua prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
17:26Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Yahshua saith unto him, Then are the children free.
17:27Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
17:1And after six days Yahshua taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
17:2And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

Revelation Chapter 17
17:1And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
17:2With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
17:3So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
17:5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
17:6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
17:7And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
17:8The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
17:9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
17:10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
17:11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
17:12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
17:13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
17:14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Sovereign of sovereigns, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
17:15And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
17:16And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17:17For Elohim hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Elohim shall be fulfilled.
17:18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
17:1And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
17:2With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
17:3So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
17:5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
17:6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
17:7And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
17:8The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
17:9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
17:10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
17:11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
17:12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
17:13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
17:14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Sovereign of sovereigns, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
17:15And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
17:16And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17:17For Elohim hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Elohim shall be fulfilled.
17:18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Proverb Chapter 17
17:1Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
17:2A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
17:3The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but Yahweh trieth the hearts.
17:4A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
17:5Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
17:6Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
17:7Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
17:8A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
17:9He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
17:10A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
17:11An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
17:12Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
17:13Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
17:14The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
17:15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to Yahweh.
17:16Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
17:17A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
17:18A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
17:19He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
17:20He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
17:21He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
17:22A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
17:23A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
17:24Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
17:25A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
17:26Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
17:27He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
17:28Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
17:1Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
17:2A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
17:3The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but Yahweh trieth the hearts.
17:4A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
17:5Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
17:6Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
17:7Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
17:8A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
17:9He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
17:10A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
17:11An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
17:12Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
17:13Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
17:14The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
17:15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to Yahweh.
17:16Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
17:17A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
17:18A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
17:19He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
17:20He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
17:21He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
17:22A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
17:23A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
17:24Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
17:25A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
17:26Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
17:27He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
17:28Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
Genesis Chapter 23 & 24
23:1And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
23:2And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
23:3And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
23:4I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
23:5And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
23:6Hear us, my sovereign: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
23:7And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
23:8And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
23:9That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
23:10And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
23:11Nay, my sovereign, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
23:12And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
23:13And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
23:14And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
23:15My sovereign, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
23:16And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
23:17And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
23:18Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
23:19And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
23:20And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
23:1And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
23:2And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
23:3And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
23:4I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
23:5And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
23:6Hear us, my sovereign: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
23:7And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
23:8And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
23:9That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
23:10And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
23:11Nay, my sovereign, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
23:12And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
23:13And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
23:14And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
23:15My sovereign, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
23:16And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
23:17And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
23:18Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
23:19And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
23:20And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
Genesis Chapter 24
24:1And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
24:2And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
24:3And I will make thee swear by Yahweh, the Elohim of heaven, and the Elohim of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
24:4But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
24:5And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
24:6And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
24:7Yahweh Elohim of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
24:8And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
24:9And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
24:10And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
24:11And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
24:12And he said, O Yahweh Elohim of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
24:13Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
24:14And 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.
24:15And 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.
24:16And 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.
24:17And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
24:18And she said, Drink, my sovereign: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
24:19And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
24:20And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
24:21And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.
24:22And 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;
24:23And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
24:24And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
24:25She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
24:26And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped Yahweh.
24:27And he said, Blessed be Yahweh Elohim of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, Yahweh led me to the house of my master's brethren.
24:28And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
24:29And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
24:30And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
24:31And he said, Come in, thou blessed of Yahweh; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
24:32And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
24:33And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
24:34And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
24:35And Yahweh hath blessed my master greatly; and he has become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and donkeys.
24:36And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
24:37And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
24:38But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
24:39And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
24:40And he said unto me, Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
24:41Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
24:42And I came this day unto the well, and said, O Yahweh Elohim of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
24:43Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
24:44And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom Yahweh hath appointed out for my master's son.
24:45And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
24:46And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
24:47And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
24:48And I bowed down my head, and worshipped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh Elohim of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
24:49And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
24:50Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from Yahweh: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
24:51Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as Yahweh hath spoken.
24:52And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped Yahweh, bowing himself to the earth.
24:53And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
24:54And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
24:55And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
24:56And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing Yahweh hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
24:57And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
24:58And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
24:59And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
24:60And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
24:61And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
24:62And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
24:63And 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.
24:64And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
24:65For 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.
24:66And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
24:67And 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.
24:1And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
24:2And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
24:3And I will make thee swear by Yahweh, the Elohim of heaven, and the Elohim of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
24:4But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
24:5And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
24:6And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
24:7Yahweh Elohim of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
24:8And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
24:9And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
24:10And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
24:11And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
24:12And he said, O Yahweh Elohim of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
24:13Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
24:14And 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.
24:15And 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.
24:16And 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.
24:17And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
24:18And she said, Drink, my sovereign: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
24:19And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
24:20And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
24:21And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.
24:22And 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;
24:23And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
24:24And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
24:25She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
24:26And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped Yahweh.
24:27And he said, Blessed be Yahweh Elohim of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, Yahweh led me to the house of my master's brethren.
24:28And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
24:29And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
24:30And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
24:31And he said, Come in, thou blessed of Yahweh; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
24:32And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
24:33And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
24:34And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
24:35And Yahweh hath blessed my master greatly; and he has become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and donkeys.
24:36And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
24:37And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
24:38But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
24:39And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
24:40And he said unto me, Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
24:41Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
24:42And I came this day unto the well, and said, O Yahweh Elohim of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

24:46And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
24:47And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
24:48And I bowed down my head, and worshipped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh Elohim of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
24:49And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
24:50Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from Yahweh: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
24:51Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as Yahweh hath spoken.
24:52And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped Yahweh, bowing himself to the earth.

24:57And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
24:58And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
24:59And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
24:60And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
24:61And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
24:62And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
