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, can I have a sip of water from your jug?"
18 She said, "Certainly, drink!" And she held the jug so that he could drink.
19 When he had satisfied his thirst she said, "I'll get water for your camels, too, until they've drunk their fill."
20 She promptly emptied her jug into the trough and ran back to the well to fill it, and she kept at it until she had watered all the camels.
21 The man watched, silent. Was this God's answer? Had God made his trip a success or not?
