Genesis 24:20 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:20

And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough
The place out of which cattle drank water, being put there for that purpose, which was of wood or of stones made hollow; into this Rebekah poured out what was left in her pitcher after the servant had drank: and ran again to the well to draw [water];
and which must be repeated several times to have enough for all the camels, for it follows: and drew for all his camels;
and there were ten of them; and these, being thirsty after so long a journey, required a great deal of water to satisfy them; therefore Rebekah must take a vast deal of pains and labour to draw water for them all until they had enough.

Genesis 24:20 In-Context

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.
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a fifth of an ounce and two gold bracelets weighing four ounces.
