Genesis 24:19-21
New English Translation
19 When she had done so,[a] she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have drunk as much as they want.” 20 She quickly emptied[b] her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw more water until she had drawn enough for all his camels. 21 Silently the man watched her with interest to determine[c] if the Lord had made his journey successful[d] or not.
