GLANCING THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES

(KJV,)  GENESIS 24:37-43

Isaac and Rebekah

(37)  And 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.
(38)  But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
(39)  And I said unto my master,  Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
(40)  And 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.
(41)  Then 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.
(42)  And 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;
(43)  Behold,  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;


QUIZ OF THE DAY:

Why did the servant of Abraham stand by the well of water, until the LORD answered his prayer?
