Gênesis 24:64 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:64

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes
And looked about: and when she saw Isaac;
whom she suspected him to be, and therefore inquired of the servant, who told her who he was: she lighted off the camel;
or "fell" F23 from it, not accidentally, or through surprise, but willingly, and in honour to Isaac, as was customary; for had she sat on her camel when she met him, it would not have seemed respectful enough to him; though Jarchi thinks she did not get off, but only bowed herself upon the camel, when she came near him.

62 Ora, Isaque tinha vindo do caminho de Beer-Laai-Rói; pois habitava na terra do Negebe.
63 Saíra Isaque ao campo � tarde, para meditar; e levantando os olhos, viu, e eis que vinham camelos.
64 Rebeca também levantou os olhos e, vendo a Isaque, saltou do camelo
65 e perguntou ao servo: Quem é aquele homem que vem pelo campo ao nosso encontro? respondeu o servo: É meu senhor. Então ela tomou o véu e se cobriu.
66 Depois o servo contou a Isaque tudo o que fizera.
