God gave them guardian angels for their protection. 24:8. But if the woman will not follow thee, thou shalt not be bound by the oath: only bring not my son back thither again. 24:9. The servant, therefore, put his hand under the thigh of Abraham, his lord, and swore to him upon his word. 24:10. And he took ten camels of his master's herd, and departed, carrying something of all his goods with him, and he set forward and went on to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nachor. 24:11. And when he had made the camels lie down without the town, near a well of water, in the evening, at the time when women are wont to come out to draw water, he said: 24:12. O Lord, the God of my master, Abraham, meet me today, I beseech thee, and shew kindness to my master, Abraham. 24:13. Behold, I stand nigh the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will come out to draw water: 24:14.

And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water; and having drawn, she gave to all the camels. 24:21. But he musing, beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not. 24:22. And after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles; and as many bracelets, of ten sicles weight. 24:23.
