Genesis 24:21-23
Common English Bible
21 The man stood gazing at her, wondering silently if the Lord had made his trip successful or not.
22 As soon as the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold ring, weighing a half shekel,[a] and two gold bracelets for her arms, weighing ten shekels. 23 He said, “Please tell me whose daughter you are. Is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”
