24 She replied, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milcah bore to Nahor.”

25 Then she added, “We have plenty of straw and feed, as well as a place for you to spend the night.”

Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD,

27 saying, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld His kindness and faithfulness from my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”

28 The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
