And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed; having all goodly things of his master’s in his hand; and he arose, and went to Aram-naharaim, unto the city of Nahor. 24.11. And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water. 24.12. And he said: ‘O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray Thee, good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham. 24.13. Behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water. 24.14. So let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say: Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also; let the same be she that Thou hast appointed for Thy servant, even for Isaac; and thereby shall I know that Thou hast shown kindness unto my master.’ 24.15. And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. 24.16. And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her; and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up. 24.17. And the servant ran to meet her, and said: ‘Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher.’ 24.18. And she said: ‘Drink, my lord’; and she hastened, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 24.19. And when she had done giving him drink, she said: ‘I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.’ 24.20. And she hastened, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels. 24.21. And the man looked stedfastly on her; holding his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not. 24.22. And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold; 24.23. and said: ‘Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?’ 24.24. And she said unto him: ‘I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore unto Nahor.’ 24.25. She said moreover unto him: ‘We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.’ 24.26. And the man bowed his head, and prostrated himself before the LORD. 24.27. And he said: ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master; as for me, the LORD hath led me in the way to the house of my master’s brethren.’ 24.28. And the damsel ran, and told her mother’s house according to these words. 24.29. And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban; and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the fountain. 24.30. And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying: ‘Thus spoke the man unto me, ‘that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the fountain. 24.31. And he said: ‘Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have cleared the house, and made room for the camels.’ 24.32. And the man came into the house, and he ungirded the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men that were with him. 24.33. And there was set food before him to eat; but he said: ‘I will not eat, until I have told mine errand.’ And he said: ‘Speak on.’ 24.34. And he said: ‘I am Abraham’s servant. 24.35. And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great; and He hath given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and men-servants and maid-servants, and camels and asses. 24.36. And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and unto him hath he given all that he hath. 24.37. And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell. 24.38. But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son. 24.39. And I said unto my master: Peradventure the woman will not follow me. 24.40. And he said unto me: The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house; 24.41. then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give her not to thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 24.42. And I came this day unto the fountain, and said: O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now Thou do prosper my way which I go: 24.43. behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and let it come to pass, that the maiden that cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say: Give me, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher to drink; 24.44. and she shall say to me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels; let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed for my master’s son. 24.45. And before I had done speaking to my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the fountain, and drew. And I said unto her: Let me drink, I pray thee. 24.46. And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said: Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. So I drank, and she made the camels drink also. 24.47. And I asked her, and said: Whose daughter art thou? And she said: The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore unto him. And I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands. 24.48. And I bowed my head, and prostrated myself before the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son. 24.49. And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.’ 24.50. Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said: ‘The thing proceedeth from the LORD; we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. 24.51. Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken.’ 24.52. And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth unto the LORD. 24.53. And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah; he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things. 24.54. And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said: ‘Send me away unto my master.’ 24.55. And her brother and her mother said: ‘Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.’ 24.56. And he said unto them: ‘Delay me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.’ 24.57. And they said: ‘We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.’ 24.58. And they called Rebekah, and said unto her: ‘Wilt thou go with this man?’ And she said: ‘I will go.’ 24.59. And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men. 24.60. And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her: ‘Our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them.’ 24.61. And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah, and went his way. 29.1. Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east. 29.2. And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it.—For out of that well they watered the flocks. And the stone upon the well’s mouth was great. 29.3. And thither were all the flocks gathered; and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back upon the well’s mouth in its place.— 29.4. And Jacob said unto them: ‘My brethren, whence are ye?’ And they said: ‘of Haran are we.’ 29.5. And he said unto them: ‘Know ye Laban the son of Nahor?’ And they said: ‘We know him.’ 29.6. And he said unto them: ‘Is it well with him?’ And they said: ‘It is well; and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.’ 29.7. And he said: ‘Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together; water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.’ 29.8. And they said: ‘We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.’ 29.9. While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she tended them. 29.10. And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 29.11. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 29.12. And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son; and she ran and told her father. 29.13. And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 29.14. And Laban said to him: ‘Surely thou art my bone and my flesh.’ And he abode with him the space of a month. 29.15. And Laban said unto Jacob: ‘Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?’ 29.16. Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 29.17. And Leah’s eyes were weak; but Rachel was of beautiful form and fair to look upon. 29.18. And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said: ‘I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.’ 29.19. And Laban said: ‘It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man; abide with me.’ 29.20. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. |

Just as arrow-shedding Artemis comes down from the mountains, from either Erymanthus or lofty Teugetus, and amuses herself with wild boars and swift deer, 7.20. in the guise of a young maiden woman holding a pitcher. She stood in front of him, and divine Odysseus asked her: “Child, won't you guide me to the house of the man Alcinous, who rules among these people? For I've come here a much-suffering stranger, 7.25. from afar, from a distant country. I therefore know none of the people who inhabit this city and farmland. Bright-eyed goddess Athena said back to him: “So then, father stranger, the house you bid me I'll show you, since he lives close by my noble father. 7.30. But go in total silence, and I'll lead the way, and neither look at nor question any person, for they do not gladly suffer stranger men nor hospitably welcome one who comes from elsewhere. With confidence in their swift fleet ships, 7.35. they traverse the great gulf, since the earth-shaker gave it to them. Their ships are fleet as feather or thought. So saying, Pallas Athena led quickly, and he followed in the footsteps of the goddess. The ship-famed Phaeacians did not notice him 7.40. going among them through their city, for fair-haired Athena, dread goddess, did not allow it, so she poured on him a marvelous mist, with dear thoughts in her heart. Odysseus marveled at the trim ships and the harbors, the assembly places of the heroes themselves, and the long 7.45. lofty walls, joined by palisades, a wonder to behold. But when he reached the house of the renowned king, bright-eyed Athena was the first of them to speak: “This, father stranger, is the house you bid me show you. You'll find Zeus-nurtured kings there 7.50. dining at dinner. Go in, and don't be at all frightened at heart, for the undaunted man turns out to be better in all actions, even if he comes from somewhere else. First, go find the mistress in the palace. Arete is the name she's named by, and she's from the same 7.55. ancestors who gave birth to king Alcinous. First earth-shaker Poseidon and Periboea, the best looking of women, gave birth to Nausithous. She was the youngest daughter of great-hearted Eurymedon, who once was king over the insolent Giants. 7.60. Though he lost his reckless people and perished himself, Poseidon mixed with her, and she bore a son, great-hearted Nausithous, who ruled over the Phaeacians. Nausithous fathered Rhexenor and Alcinous. Silverbow Apollo struck him down in his hall, newly married 7.65. and without a son, and he left only one child, Arete, whom Alcinous made his wife. And he valued her as no other woman on earth is valued, of all who now keep house under husbands. So she has been, and still is, honored above them, 7.70. in the heart of her dear children, Alcinous himself, and her people, who view her as a goddess and welcome her with speeches when she walks through the city. For she herself in no way lacks good sense, and she dissolves disputes for those, even men, to whom she's well disposed. 7.75. For if she, in her heart, thinks friendly thoughts for you, then there's hope for you, that you'll see your loved ones and reach your high-roofed house and fatherland.” So saying, bright-eyed Athena departed over the barren sea. She left lovely Scheria, |

All Israel have a portion in the world to come, for it says, “Your people, all of them righteous, shall possess the land for ever; They are the shoot that I planted, my handiwork in which I glory” (Isaiah 60:2. And these are the ones who have no portion in the world to come: He who maintains that resurrection is not a biblical doctrine, that the torah was not divinely revealed, and an epikoros. Rabbi Akiva says: “Even one who reads non-canonical books and one who whispers [a charm] over a wound and says, “I will not bring upon you any of the diseases which i brought upon the Egyptians: for I the lord am you healer” (Exodus 15:26). Abba Shaul says: “Also one who pronounces the divine name as it is spelled.” |

"... Said R’ Yirmiyah ben Elazar: In the hour when the Holy One created the first human, He created him [as] an androgyne/androginos, as it is said, “male and female He created them”. Said R’ Shmuel bar Nachmani: In the hour when the Holy One created the first human, He created [for] him a double-face/di-prosopon/ du-par’tsufin, and sawed him and made him backs, a back here and a back [t]here, as it is said, “Back/achor and before/qedem You formed me” [Ps 139:5]. They objected to him: But it says, “He took one of his ribs/ts’la`ot . . . ” [Gn 2:21]! He said to them: [It means] “[one] of his sides/sit’rohi”, just as you would say, “And for the side/tsela` of the Tabernacle/ mishkan” [Ex 26:20], which they translate [in Aramaic] “for the side/seter”. R’ Tanchuma in the name of R’ Banayah and R’ B’rakhyah in the name of R’ Elazar said: In the time that the Holy One created Adam Harishon, [as] a golem He created him and he was set up from [one] end of the world and unto its [other] end – that’s what is written: “Your eyes saw my golem” [Ps 139:16]. R’ Yehoshua bar Nechemyah and R’ Yehudah bar Simon in R’ Elazar’s name said: He created him filling the whole world. From where [do we know he extended] from the East to West? That it’s said: “Back/achor (i.e., after, the place of sunset) and before/East/qedem You formed/enclosed me /tsartani” [Ps 139:5]. From where [that he went] from North to South? That it’s said: “and from the edge of the heavens and until the edge of the heavens” [Dt 4:32]. And from where [that he filled] even the world’s hollow-space? That it’s said: “. . . and You laid Your palm upon me” [Ps 139:5]...", |
