Genesis 24:21-23
Modern English Version
21 The man, gazing at her, remained silent, trying to discern whether the Lord had made his journey a success or not.
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold nose ring of half a shekel weight[a] and two bracelets for her wrists of ten shekels weight[b] in gold, 23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge?”
