Genesis 24:56 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:56

And he said unto them, hinder me not
Do not detain me, let me set forward on my journey: seeing, the Lord hath prospered my way;
succeeded him in what he came about; and by his being succeeded so well, and so soon, it seemed to be the mind of the Lord that he should hasten his journey homeward: send me away, that I may go to my master;
and carry him the good news of his success, and attend his domestic affairs, over which he was set.

Genesis 24:56 In-Context

54 Then Abraham's servant and the men with him ate and drank, and spent the night there. When they got up in the morning, he said, "Let me go back to my master."

55 But Rebecca's brother and her mother said, "Let her stay with us a week or ten days, and then she may go."

56 But he said, "Don't make us stay. The Lord has made my journey a success; let me go back to my master."

57 They answered, "Let's call her and find out what she has to say."

58 So they called Rebecca and asked, "Do you want to go with this man?" "Yes," she answered.
