Genesis 24:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:15

And it came to pass, before he had done speaking
In his heart, ( Genesis 24:45 ) ; for his prayer was mental; while the last words were dropping from him, that very moment, as the Targum of Jonathan; so soon were his prayers heard and answered, ( Isaiah 65:24 ) ; that behold Rebekah came out;
out of Haran, the city of Nahor: who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's
brother;
a daughter of Bethuel, which Bethuel was the eighth and last son of Milcah, and who was the daughter of Haran and the wife of Nahor, both brothers to Abraham: this is the genealogy of Rebekah, and for the sake of her is the account of Nahor's family given, ( Genesis 22:20-24 ) : with her pitcher upon her shoulder;
to fetch water from the well for the use of the family; which, though the daughter of a wealthy person, she did not disdain to do; an instance of diligence and humility this.

Genesis 24:15 In-Context

13 I will stand here by the spring while the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.

14 When I say to a young woman, ‘Hand me your water jar so I can drink,' and she says to me, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels water too,' may she be the one you've selected for your servant Isaac. In this way I will know that you've been loyal to my master."

15 Even before he finished speaking, Rebekah—daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother—was coming out with a water jar on her shoulder.

16 The young woman was very beautiful, old enough to be married, and hadn't known a man intimately. She went down to the spring, filled her water jar, and came back up.

17 The servant ran to meet her and said, "Give me a little sip of water from your jar."
