Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

Behold, I am standing by the fountain of water. And the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

Behold I stand nigh the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will come out to draw water.

Behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water:

Behold, I stand near the fountain of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will go forth to draw water.

Ecce, ego sto juxta fontem aquae, et filiae virorum civitatis egrediuntur ad hauriendam aquam.

Behold, I stand here by the well of water,.... Wishing, hoping, and expecting that something would turn out that would direct and instruct what further to do, and that would lead on to the business he came about:
and the daughters of the men of the city came out to draw water; which was the usual custom in those parts about that time. So Homer speaks (w) of meeting a girl before the city drawing or fetching water. And this was a principal reason why Abraham's servant stopped at the well, not only to refresh himself, his men, and his cattle, but in hopes he should meet with the damsel there he was come for; or at least should hear of her, or meet with some one or another that would direct him to her; or something would fall out there that would be a means in Providence of bringing about what he was sent to do.
