| Genesis /Bereishit 24:10 | So the servant (Eliezer) took ten (10) [of Abraham’s] camels, and walked… to Nakhor. | וַיִּקַּח הָעֶבֶד עֲשָׂרָה גְמַלִּים מִגְּמַלֵּי אֲדֹנָיו וַיֵּלֶךְ… אֶל־עִיר נָחוֹר׃ |
| 24:11 | [They waited] by the well outside the city, towards evening, when the girls of the city would come to draw water. | וַיַּבְרֵךְ הַגְּמַלִּים מִחוּץ לָעִיר אֶל־בְּאֵר הַמָּיִם לְעֵת עֶרֶב לְעֵת צֵאת הַשֹּׁאֲבֹת׃ |
| *** | ||
| 24:15 | And Rebekah … came with her jug on her shoulder. | וַ … וְהִנֵּה רִבְקָה יֹצֵאת … וְכַדָּהּ עַל־שִׁכְמָהּ׃ |
| 24:16 | … She went … to the well, [and] filled her jug…. | וְ … וַתֵּרֶד הָעַיְנָה וַתְּמַלֵּא כַדָּהּ …׃ |
| 24:17 | The servant ran toward her and said, “Please, let me sip a little water from your jug.” | וַיָּרׇץ הָעֶבֶד לִקְרָאתָהּ וַיֹּאמֶר הַגְמִיאִינִי נָא מְעַט־מַיִם מִכַּדֵּךְ׃ |
| *** | ||
| 24:19 | After he finished drinking, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have had enough.” | וַתְּכַל לְהַשְׁקֹתוֹ וַתֹּאמֶר גַּם לִגְמַלֶּיךָ אֶשְׁאָב עַד אִם־כִּלּוּ לִשְׁתֹּת׃ |
| 24:30 | She quickly emptied her jug into the trough, and ran back and forth from the well, drawing water again and again until all the camels had drunk as much as they needed. | וַתְּמַהֵר וַתְּעַר כַּדָּהּ אֶל־הַשֹּׁקֶת וַתָּרׇץ עוֹד אֶל־הַבְּאֵר לִשְׁאֹב וַתִּשְׁאַב לְכׇל־גְּמַלָּיו׃ |
