Genesis 24:19 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:19

And when she had done giving him drink
Whatever he pleased to have: she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have
done drinking;
she proposed to go back to the well, and did, and fill her pitcher, and repeat it as often as was necessary, until the camels had enough; and this now was the sign or token the servant had desired might be, by which he would know who was the person intended for the wife of his master's son; and this was granted him, which shows that it was not a rash and ill thing which he asked, but what was agreeable to the will of God, and to which he was directed by an impulse of his.

Genesis 24:19 In-Context

17 The servant ran to meet her and said, "Please give me a drink of water."
18 "Drink, sir," she said. She quickly lowered her jar to her hand and gave him a drink.
19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I'll also keep drawing water for your camels until they've had enough to drink."
20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the water trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels.
21 The man was silently watching her to see whether or not the LORD had made his trip successful.
