Genesis 24:20-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
20 She hurried and emptied her water jar into the trough, ran to the well again to draw more water, and drew water for all his camels.
21 The man remained silent and watched her carefully to find out whether the Lord had made his journey successful or not. 22 Then, when the camels were finished drinking, the man took a gold nose ring that weighed half a shekel and two gold bracelets that weighed ten shekels[a] for her wrists.
