24:42 When I came to the spring today, I prayed, ‘O Lord, God of my master Abraham, if you have decided to make my journey successful, 1 may events unfold as follows: 2 24:43 Here I am, standing by the spring. 3 When 4 the young woman goes out to draw water, I’ll say, “Give me a little water to drink from your jug.”
24:44 Then she will reply to me, “Drink, and I’ll draw water for your camels too.” May that woman be the one whom the Lord has chosen for my master’s son.’
