Genesis 24

Gen Z: Genesis 24

1Abraham was getting old, but God was totally blessing him with all the vibes.

2Abraham called up his main servant, the one who ran the whole show, and said, “Yo, put your hand under my thigh real quick.”

3“I need you to swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you won't snag a wife for my son from any of the Canaanite girls around here.”

4“You gotta head back to my homeland and find a wife for my son Isaac.”

5The servant was like, “What if she’s not down to come with me to this land? Should I bring your son back to where you came from?”

6Abraham was like, “Nah, don’t take my son back there, fam.”

7“The Lord God of heaven, who got me out of my dad's place and from my homies, promised me this land for my descendants; He’ll send His angel ahead of you, and you’ll find a wife for my son from there.”

8“If she’s not down to follow you, then you’re off the hook from this oath, but don’t bring my son back there.”

9The servant put his hand under Abraham's thigh and swore about this whole thing.

10The servant took ten camels from his master and dipped, 'cause he had all his master’s stuff with him; he straight up went to Mesopotamia, to Nahor's city.

11He made his camels kneel by the city well at evening vibes, when the ladies go to get water.

12He said, "Yo, Lord God of my master Abraham, I need some good luck today and show some love to my dude Abraham."

13Check it, I'm chilling by the well, and the city girls are coming out to grab water.

14Let’s see if the girl I ask to lower her pitcher says, "Drink," and also gives my camels some water; that’ll be the one you picked for Isaac, no cap.

15Right as he finished talking, Rebekah came out, daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s wife’s kid, with her pitcher on her shoulder.

16The girl was super cute, a total virgin, and she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came back up.

17The servant ran to her and said, "Can I sip a little water from your pitcher?"

18She replied, "Drink, my lord," and quickly let down her pitcher to give him some water.

19After she finished giving him a drink, she said, "I’ll get water for your camels too, until they’re all set."

20She moved fast, emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran back to the well to fetch water for all his camels.

21The dude was just vibing, wondering if God was making his trip a win or nah.

22After the camels had their fill, the dude pulled out a golden earring and two sick bracelets for her.

23He asked, “Yo, whose daughter are you? Is there a spot at your fam’s crib for us?”

24She replied, “I’m the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, who’s Nahor’s kid.”

25She added, “We got plenty of hay and food, plus space to crash.”

26The dude bowed his head and showed mad respect to the Lord.

27He was like, “Big ups to the Lord God of my boss Abraham, who’s always got his back with mercy and truth. I was on my way, and the Lord brought me to my boss’s fam.”

28The girl bounced back and told her fam about all this.

29Rebekah had a bro named Laban, and he came running out to the dude at the well.

30When Laban saw the earring and bracelets on his sis and heard her spill the tea about the dude, he rushed over to him, and there he was, chilling by the camels at the well.

31He was like, "Yo, come in, blessed one! Why you chillin' outside? I got the crib all set up and room for your camels, no cap."

32The dude stepped inside, took off the camels' gear, and hooked them up with some straw and food, plus water to wash his feet and his homies' feet.

33They had food ready for him, but he was like, "Nah, I ain't eating till I spill the tea." And they were like, "Bet, go ahead."

34He said, "I'm just Abraham's servant, vibing."

35"The Lord has blessed my boss big time; he's living large with flocks, herds, stacks of silver and gold, plus servants and camels, no cap."

36"And my boss’s wifey, Sarah, had a baby for him when she was old, and he’s given him everything he owns."

37"My boss made me swear, saying, 'Don't grab a wife for my son from the Canaanite girls around here.'"

38"You gotta head to my fam's place and find a wife for my son there."

39"I told my boss, 'What if the girl doesn’t wanna come with me?'"

40He said, "The Lord, who I roll with, will send his angel to guide you and make it lit; you’ll find a perfect wife for my son from my fam."

41You’ll be chill with my oath when you vibe with my fam; if they don’t hook you up, you’re good, no cap.

42So I pulled up to the well today and said, "Yo, God of my dude Abraham, bless my grind."

43I’m chilling by the water, and when the girl comes to fill her jar, I’ll ask her for a sip.

44If she’s like, “I got you, and I’ll fill up your camels too,” then that's the one God picked for my boss's son.

45Before I even finished that thought, Rebekah showed up with her jar; she hit the well and I was like, “Let me sip, please.”

46She rushed to help, lowered her jar, and said, “Drink up, and I’ll also give your camels some.” So I drank, and she filled the camels too.

47I asked her, “Whose daughter are you?” She said, “I’m Bethuel’s kid, Nahor’s son’s daughter.” I put the earring on her and the bracelets on her wrists.

48I bowed down, worshipped the Lord, and blessed the God of my dude Abraham for guiding me to find my boss's bro’s daughter.

49So if you’re gonna keep it real with my master, spill the tea; if not, let me know so I can bounce either way.

50Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “This is all from the Lord; we can’t say anything good or bad.”

51Yo, Rebekah is right here, scoop her up, and let her be your master’s son’s wifey, just like God said.

52When Abraham's servant heard that, he dropped to the ground, totally vibing with the Lord.

53The servant pulled out some bling—silver and gold, plus fresh fits—and blessed Rebekah, her bro, and her mom with dope gifts.

54They all chilled, ate, and drank, and after a lit night, he was like, "Aight, send me back to my boss."

55Her bro and mom were like, "Can she vibe with us for a bit, like at least ten days?"

56He replied, "Don’t hold me back, the Lord's got my back; let me go to my master."

57They were like, "Bet, let’s ask her what she wants."

58They called Rebekah and asked, "You down to roll with this dude?" She was like, "I’m down."

59So they sent Rebekah, her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his crew on their way.

60They blessed Rebekah, saying, "You’re our sister, go be the mom of a whole squad, and let your fam take over the haters’ gates."

61Rebekah and her squad hopped on camels and followed the dude; the servant took Rebekah and rolled out.

62Isaac was coming from the well Lahai–roi; he was chillin' in the south.

63Isaac went out to vibe in the field at sunset, lifted his eyes, and saw the camels rolling in.

64Rebekah saw Isaac and jumped off the camel, no cap.

65She asked the servant, "Who’s that dude walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "That’s my master." So, she put on a veil and covered up.

66The servant spilled all the tea to Isaac about what went down.

67Isaac took her into his mom Sarah’s tent, made Rebekah his wife, and he loved her; Isaac found peace after losing his mom.

KJV: Genesis 24

1And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

2And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

3And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

4But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

5And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

6And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

7The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

8And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.

9And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

10And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

11And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.

12And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

13Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

14And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

15And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

16And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

17And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

18And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

19And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

20And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

21And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.

22And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;

23And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?

24And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

25She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.

26And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord.

27And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.

28And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother’s house these things.

29And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

30And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

31And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

32And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet that were with him.

33And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.

34And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.

35And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

36And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

37And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:

38But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

39And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

40And he said unto me, The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:

41Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

42And I came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

43Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

44And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master’s son.

45And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

46And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

47And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

48And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son.

49And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

50Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the Lord: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

51Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the Lord hath spoken.

52And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth.

53And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

54And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.

55And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

56And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

57And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.

58And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

59And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.

60And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

61And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

62And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai–roi; for he dwelt in the south country.

63And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.

64And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

65For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.

66And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

67And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
