Génesis 24:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:15

And it came to pass, before he had done speaking
In his heart, ( Genesis 24:45 ) ; for his prayer was mental; while the last words were dropping from him, that very moment, as the Targum of Jonathan; so soon were his prayers heard and answered, ( Isaiah 65:24 ) ; that behold Rebekah came out;
out of Haran, the city of Nahor: who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's
brother;
a daughter of Bethuel, which Bethuel was the eighth and last son of Milcah, and who was the daughter of Haran and the wife of Nahor, both brothers to Abraham: this is the genealogy of Rebekah, and for the sake of her is the account of Nahor's family given, ( Genesis 22:20-24 ) : with her pitcher upon her shoulder;
to fetch water from the well for the use of the family; which, though the daughter of a wealthy person, she did not disdain to do; an instance of diligence and humility this.

Génesis 24:15 In-Context

13 Aquí me encuentro junto a este manantial, y las jóvenes de la ciudad vienen a sacar agua.
14 Mi petición es la siguiente: yo le diré a una de ellas: “Por favor, deme de beber de su cántaro”; si ella dice: “Sí, beba usted, ¡y también daré de beber a sus camellos!”, que sea ella la que has elegido como esposa para Isaac. De esa forma sabré que has mostrado amor inagotable a mi amo».
15 Entonces, antes de terminar su oración, vio a una joven llamada Rebeca, que salía con su cántaro al hombro. Ella era hija de Betuel, quien era hijo de Nacor —hermano de Abraham— y de Milca, su esposa.
16 Rebeca era muy hermosa y tenía edad suficiente para estar casada, pero aún era virgen. Ella descendió hasta el manantial, llenó su cántaro y volvió a subir.
17 Entonces el siervo corrió hasta alcanzarla y le dijo:
—Por favor, deme de beber un poco de agua de su cántaro.
