Genesis 24:43
Behold! I stand at the well of water, and when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher,
behold, I am standing by the spring of water. Let the virgin who comes out to draw water, to whom I shall say, “Please give me a little water from your jar to drink,”
behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come forth to draw water, and it shall be that the damsel to whom I shall say, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher,

Feminine counterpart word to elem, young man, which is used in 1 Sam 17:56 and 20:22. The Hebrew root alam (#5956) means something kept out of sight, veiled, hidden, concealed. The masculine elem (#5958) would infer the same hidden man that Peter wrote about to the “women”: “…but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible of the meek and tranquil which is, in the face of the God, very costly.” 1 Peter 3:4 literal |
