Commentary on Genesis 24:19

Theological / Devotional

Water for thy camels also. Rebekah, who had been asked only for a drink of water for a weary traveler, immediately manifested her kindly disposition. Her offer to draw water for the camels was voluntary and not a requirement of custom. It demonstrated a genuine desire to help those who were in need of assistance. It should not be forgotten, however, that her kindness was utilized in the providence of God as evidence that He had chosen her to be Isaac’s wife. Her offer could be the full answer to Eliezer’s prayer only if it came as a natural reflection of character.
