Genesis 24:21-23
New King James Version
21 And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether (A)the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden (B)nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold, 23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father’s house for us [a]to lodge?”
