¹⁰ The servant took ten of Abraham’s camels and left, carrying with him many ·different kinds of beautiful gifts [^Lgoods of his master]. He went to ·northwestern Mesopotamia [^LAram-Naharaim; ^Ca region near the Habor and Euphrates rivers, about a month’s journey away] to ·Nahor’s city [or the city of Nahor]. ¹¹ In the evening, when the women come out to get water [^Cmost ancient towns had a single source of water for the community], he made the camels kneel down at the well outside the city.
