Genesis 24:18 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:18

And she said, drink, my lord
Signifying at once that he was welcome to drink what he would, giving him a very honourable title, observing that he had a pretty large retinue with him of men and camels; so that she took him for some considerable personage: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand;
from off her shoulder, and let it rest upon her hand or arm: and gave him drink;
let him drink what he would of it.

Genesis 24:18 In-Context

16 She was very pretty, a virgin; she had never had sexual relations with a man. She went down to the spring and filled her jar, then came back up.

17 The servant ran to her and said, "Please give me a little water from your jar."

18 Rebekah said, "Drink, sir." She quickly lowered the jar from her shoulder and gave him a drink.

19 After he finished drinking, Rebekah said, "I will also pour some water for your camels."

20 So she quickly poured all the water from her jar into the drinking trough for the camels. Then she kept running to the well until she had given all the camels enough to drink.
