Genesis 24:57 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:57

And they said, we will call the damsel
Who perhaps through modesty had withdrawn herself to her own apartment, while the man and her friends were discoursing on this subject: and inquire at her mouth;
what she says to it, whether willing to go directly or not; the matter in question was referred to her, and left to her decision.
