Let the young woman to whom I shall say, 'Please let down your jar that I may drink,' and who shall say, 'Drink, and I will water your camels'—let her be the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I shall know that you have shown steadfast love to my master."Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water jar on her shoulder.The young woman was very attractive in appearance, a maiden whom no man had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.Then the servant ran to meet her and said, "Please give me a little water to drink from your jar."She said, "Drink, my lord." And she quickly let down her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink.When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking."So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water, and she drew for all his camels.The man gazed at her in silence to learn whether the Lord had prospered his journey or not.When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half shekel, and two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels,and said, "Please tell me whose daughter you are. Is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?"She said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."She added, "We have plenty of both straw and fodder, and room to spend the night."The man bowed his head and worshiped the Lordand said, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his steadfast love and his faithfulness toward my master. As for me, the Lord has led me in the way to the house of my master's kinsmen."Then the young woman ran and told her mother's household about these things.Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban. Laban ran out toward the man, to the spring.

Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites, and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites, of all who went in at the gate of his city,"No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the sight of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead."Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land.And he said to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, "But if you will, hear me: I give the price of the field. Accept it from me, that I may bury my dead there."Ephron answered Abraham,"My lord, listen to me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between you and me? Bury your dead."Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weights current among the merchants.So the field of Ephron in Machpelah, which was to the east of Mamre, the field with the cave that was in it and all the trees that were in the field, throughout its whole area, was made overto Abraham as a possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who went in at the gate of his city.After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah east of Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan. Sarah lived 127 years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.And Sarah died at Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.And Abraham rose up from before his dead and said to the Hittites,"I am a sojourner and foreigner among you; give me property among you for a burying place, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."The Hittites answered Abraham,"Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb to hinder you from burying your dead."Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land.And he said to them, "If you are willing that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me and entreat for me Ephron the son of Zohar,that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he owns; it is at the end of his field. For the full price let him give it to me in your presence as property for a burying place."

Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me."And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.So Abraham called the name of that place, "The Lord will provide"; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided."And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heavenand said, "By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies,and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham lived at Beersheba.When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
