19 After she had given him a drink, she said, "I'll get water for your camels too. I'll keep doing it until they finish drinking."

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 hurried to meet her. He said, "Please give me a little water from your jar."
18 "Have a drink, sir," she said. She quickly lowered the jar to her hands. And she gave him a drink.
19 After she had given him a drink, she said, "I'll get water for your camels too. I'll keep doing it until they finish drinking."
20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the stone tub. Then she ran back to the well to get more water. She got enough for all of his camels.
21 The man didn't say a word. He watched her closely. He wanted to learn whether the LORD had given him success on the journey he had made.
