Genesi 24:54 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:54

And they did eat and drink, he, and the men that [were] with
him
Every thing being settled with respect to the affair he came about, he then sat down at table, and ate of the provisions set before him; he and the men that came along with him; and refreshed themselves: and tarried all night;
lodged there all night; and they rose up in the morning;
the servant and his men: and he said, send me away to my master;
either to Abraham, who was waiting to hear what success his servant would have; or to Isaac, who also was solicitous about the matter: the sense is, that he desired leave to go away, and begged he might not be detained any longer, having now done the business he came about; still showing himself a diligent faithful servant, heartily and sincerely attached to his master's interest, and not consulting his own ease and pleasure, which might have been indulged by staying longer in a family, where he would have been entertained in a sumptuous manner.

Genesi 24:54 In-Context

52 E quando il servitore di Abrahamo ebbe udite le lor parole, s’inchinò a terra, e adorò il Signore.

53 Poi quel servitore trasse fuori vasellamenti d’argento e d’oro, e vestimenti; e li diede a Rebecca; ed al fratello, ed alla madre di essa donò cose preziose.

54 E poi mangiarono e bevvero, egli, e gli uomini ch’erano con lui, ed albergarono quivi quella notte; e la mattina seguente, essendosi levati, egli disse: Rimandatemi al mio signore.

55 E il fratello e la madre di Rebecca dissero: Rimanga la fanciulla con noi alcuni giorni, almeno dieci; poi tu te ne andrai.

56 Ed egli disse loro: Non mi ritardate, poichè il Signore ha fatto prosperare il mio viaggio: datemi commiato, acciocchè io me ne vada al mio signore.
