Gênesis 24:21 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:21

And the man wondering at her
At her affability and courteousness to a stranger; at her humility and condescension to take upon her such a service; at her readiness, diligence, and laboriousness in it; and the quick dispatch she made; and at her expressions and conduct being so exactly agreeable to the token he desired to have; and at the providence of God in bringing him to this place so seasonably; and at the damsel, that she should come just at this time, and every way answer his expectations and desires: held his peace, to wit;
or to know, to think and consider further with himself, whether,
or "if" the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not;
or if not; he was musing and saying within himself, surely God had made his journey prosperous; or if not, how was it that such strange surprising circumstances should occur? or what else must be done by him? or what methods must be taken for the future.

Gênesis 24:21 In-Context

19 E quando acabou de lhe dar de beber, disse: Tirarei também água para os teus camelos, até que acabem de beber.
20 Também com presteza despejou o seu cântaro no bebedouro e, correndo outra vez ao poço, tirou água para todos os camelos dele.
21 E o homem a contemplava atentamente, em silêncio, para saber se o Senhor havia tornado próspera a sua jornada, ou não.
22 Depois que os camelos acabaram de beber, tomou o homem um pendente de ouro, de meio siclo de peso, e duas pulseiras para as mãos dela, do peso de dez siclos de ouro;
23 e perguntou: De quem és filha? dize-mo, peço-te. Há lugar em casa de teu pai para nós pousarmos?
