PrayerGuidance and decisions

13 Se, jeg står her ved kilden, og døtrene til byens folk kommer ut for å hente vann.

14 La det skje at den unge kvinnen som jeg sier til: 'Vennligst la meg få drikke litt vann fra krukken din,' og som svarer: 'Drikk, og jeg vil også vanne kamelene dine'—la henne være den du har utvalgt for din tjener Isak. Ved dette skal jeg vite at du har vist godhet mot min herre."

Før han var ferdig med å be, kom Rebekka ut med sin krukke på skulderen. Hun var datter av Betuel, sønn av Milka, Abrahams bror Nahors kone.

16 Den unge kvinnen var meget vakker, en jomfru; ingen mann hadde ligget med henne. Hun gikk ned til kilden, fylte sin krukke og kom opp igjen.

17 Tjeneren skyndte seg bort til henne og sa: "Vennligst gi meg litt vann fra krukken din."

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
