Commentary on Genesis 24:21

Theological / Devotional

Wondering at her. Eliezer was so fascinated by Rebekah’s unaffected willingness to be of help that he allowed her to draw water for his ten camels without so much as offering assistance (see Genesis 29:10; Exodus 2:17). He was startled by the precision and dispatch with which Providence had answered his prayer for guidance. Momentarily he hesitated; could it be true? Thus the disciples wondered when Peter, after his release from prison by an angel, stood suddenly before them. Though engaged in prayer for his safety, it was difficult for them to accept the answer when it came (Acts 12:12-17).
