(KJV.) GENESIS 24:44-50
(44) And 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.
(45) And 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.
(46) And 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.
(47) And 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.
(48) And 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.
(49) And 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.
(50) Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Point to Ponder:
Why did Laban and Bethuel answer and said, If the thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good?
