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 And the servant ran to meet her. And he said, "Please, let me drink a little of the water from your jar."
18 And she said, "Drink, my lord." And she quickly lowered her jar in her hand and gave him a drink.
19 When she finished giving him a drink she said, "I will also draw water for your camels until they finish drinking."
20 And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water. And she drew water for all his camels.
21 And the man [was] gazing at her silently to know [if] Yahweh had made his journey successful or not.
