Genesis 24:25

25 And there's plenty of room in our house for you to stay - and lots of straw and feed besides."

Genesis 24:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:25

She said moreover unto him
In answer to the second question: we have both straw and provender enough;
for the camels, straw for their litter, and provender for their food, as hay, barley and room to lodge in;
for him and his men; this she could venture to say, and invite him to come and take up his quarters in her father's house, without going home to relate the question put to her, and to have leave to give the invitation, knowing full well the generosity, liberality, and hospitable spirit of her father.

Genesis 24:25 In-Context

23 He asked her, "Tell me about your family? Whose daughter are you? Is there room in your father's house for us to stay the night?"
24 She said, "I'm the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah and Nahor.
25 And there's plenty of room in our house for you to stay - and lots of straw and feed besides."
26 At this the man bowed in worship before God
27 and prayed, "Blessed be God, God of my master Abraham: How generous and true you've been to my master; you've held nothing back. You led me right to the door of my master's brother!"
