Gênesis 24:30

30 porquanto tinha visto o pendente, e as pulseiras sobre as mãos de sua irmã, e ouvido as palavras de sua irmã Rebeca, que dizia: Assim me falou aquele homem; e foi ter com o homem, que estava em pé junto aos camelos ao lado da fonte.

Gênesis 24:30 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:30

And it came to pass, when he saw the earring, and bracelets
upon his sister's hands
From whence he concluded that he was a rich and generous man she had met with, and might hope to receive a gift also upon giving him an invitation to his house; or however might judge he should be no loser by receiving him kindly and entertaining him generously; therefore it was that he made haste, and ran to him to bring him in; for that Laban was of a covetous disposition, appears from the whole story of him: and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, thus spake
the man unto me;
inquiring whose daughter she was, and whether there was any room in her father's house for him and those that were with him to lodge in: that he came unto the man;
made haste and ran till he came to him: and, behold, he stood by the camels at the wall;
he did not follow Rebekah, but kept still at the well, expecting somebody would come out of the house and give him an invitation into it, upon Rebekah's representation of him.

Gênesis 24:30 In-Context

28 A donzela correu, e relatou estas coisas aos da casa de sua mãe.
29 Ora, Rebeca tinha um irmão, cujo nome era Labão, o qual saiu correndo ao encontro daquele homem até a fonte;
30 porquanto tinha visto o pendente, e as pulseiras sobre as mãos de sua irmã, e ouvido as palavras de sua irmã Rebeca, que dizia: Assim me falou aquele homem; e foi ter com o homem, que estava em pé junto aos camelos ao lado da fonte.
31 E disse: Entra, bendito do Senhor; por que estás aqui fora? pois eu já preparei a casa, e lugar para os camelos.
32 Então veio o homem � casa, e desarreou os camelos; deram palha e forragem para os camelos e água para lavar os pés dele e dos homens que estavam com ele.
