Gênesis 24:58 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:58

And they called Rebekah
Or ordered her to be called by one of the servants: and said unto her, wilt thou go with this man?
that is, directly; the question was not about her marriage of Isaac, that was agreed upon, and she had doubtless given her consent, and which she tacitly did by accepting of the presents, but about taking the journey immediately: and she said, I will go;
the note of Jarchi is,

``of myself, and even if you are not willing,''

which seems to make her answer rude, as well as resolute; but it must be interpreted consistent with her decent and modest behaviour, and as expressive of her agreeing to go with the man directly, having no manner of objection on her mind to it; but on the contrary found a strong inclination to it, and was determined on it; and perhaps was under a divine impulse, which strongly wrought upon her, and caused her to be so willing to leave her own people, and her father's house.

Gênesis 24:58 In-Context

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.

57 Disseram-lhe: chamaremos a donzela, e perguntaremos a ela mesma.

58 Chamaram, pois, a Rebeca, e lhe perguntaram: Irás tu com este homem; Respondeu ela: Irei.

59 Então despediram a Rebeca, sua irmã, e � sua ama e ao servo de Abraão e a seus homens;

60 e abençoaram a Rebeca, e disseram-lhe: Irmã nossa, sê tu a mãe de milhares de miríades, e possua a tua descendência a porta de seus aborrecedores!
