Genesis 24:28

26 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.”

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

29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he rushed out to the man at the spring.

30 As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard Rebekah’s words, “The man said this to me,” he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.
