Commentary

Commentary on Genesis 24:15

Theological / Devotional

Rebekah came. Not by accident but by providence, his prayer was answered before it had been completed. This was not the only occasion upon which God’s answer came so promptly (Daniel 9:23; Isaiah 65:24). He is always ready to hear a sincere prayer uttered in faith. The meaning of Rebekah’s name is obscure. Concerning her relationship, see on Genesis 22:23.

Her pitcher upon her shoulder. It is the habit among some Eastern peoples to carry water jars on their heads, but Palestinian and Syrian women do so upon their shoulders.
