Genesis 24:18-19

24:18 “Drink, my lord,” she replied, and quickly lowering ¹  her jug to her hands, she gave him a drink. 24:19 When she had done so, ²  she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have drunk as much as they want.”

Genesis 24:22

24:22 After the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka ³  and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels ⁴  and gave them to her. ⁵ 

[24:18]  ¹ tn Heb “and she hurried and lowered.”

[24:19]  ² tn Heb “when she had finished giving him a drink.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:22]  ³ sn A beka weighed about 5-6 grams (0.2 ounce).

[24:22]  ⁴ sn A shekel weighed about 11.5 grams (0.4 ounce) although weights varied locally, so these bracelets weighed about 4 ounces (115 grams).

[24:22]  ⁵ tn The words “and gave them to her” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
