Gênesis 24:54 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:54

And they did eat and drink, he, and the men that [were] with
him
Every thing being settled with respect to the affair he came about, he then sat down at table, and ate of the provisions set before him; he and the men that came along with him; and refreshed themselves: and tarried all night;
lodged there all night; and they rose up in the morning;
the servant and his men: and he said, send me away to my master;
either to Abraham, who was waiting to hear what success his servant would have; or to Isaac, who also was solicitous about the matter: the sense is, that he desired leave to go away, and begged he might not be detained any longer, having now done the business he came about; still showing himself a diligent faithful servant, heartily and sincerely attached to his master's interest, and not consulting his own ease and pleasure, which might have been indulged by staying longer in a family, where he would have been entertained in a sumptuous manner.

Gênesis 24:54 In-Context

52 Quando o servo de Abraão ouviu as palavras deles, prostrou-se em terra diante do Senhor:
53 e tirou o servo jóias de prata, e jóias de ouro, e vestidos, e deu-os a Rebeca; também deu coisas preciosas a seu irmão e a sua mãe.
54 Então comeram e beberam, ele e os homens que com ele estavam, e passaram a noite. Quando se levantaram de manhã, disse o servo: Deixai-me ir a meu senhor.
55 Disseram o irmão e a mãe da donzela: Fique ela conosco alguns dias, pelo menos dez dias; e depois irá.
56 Ele, porém, lhes respondeu: Não me detenhas, visto que o Senhor me tem prosperado o caminho; deixai-me partir, para que eu volte a meu senhor.
