Génesis 24:13 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:13

Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water
Wishing, hoping, and expecting that something would turn out that would direct and instruct what further to do, and that would lead on to the business he came about: and the daughters of the men of the city came out to draw water;
which was the usual custom in those parts about that time. So Homer speaks


FOOTNOTES:

F23 of meeting a girl before the city (udreuoush) , drawing or fetching water. And this was a principal reason why Abraham's servant stopped at the well, not only to refresh himself, his men, and his cattle, but in hopes he should meet with the damsel there he was come for; or at least should hear of her, or meet with some one or another that would direct him to her; or something would fall out there that would be a means in Providence of bringing about what he was sent to do.
F23 Odyss. 10. ver. 109.

Génesis 24:13 In-Context

11 AllĂ­ hizo que los camellos se arrodillaran junto al pozo de agua que estaba en las afueras de la ciudad. CaĂ­a la tarde, que es cuando las mujeres salen a buscar agua.
12 Entonces comenzĂł a orar: «SEÑOR, Dios de mi amo Abraham, te ruego que hoy me vaya bien, y que demuestres el amor que le tienes a mi amo.
13 AquĂ­ me tienes, a la espera junto a la fuente, mientras las jĂłvenes de esta ciudad vienen a sacar agua.
14 Permite que la joven a quien le diga: “Por favor, baje usted su cĂĄntaro para que tome yo un poco de agua”, y que me conteste: “Tome usted, y ademĂĄs les darĂ© agua a sus camellos”, sea la que tĂș has elegido para tu siervo Isaac. AsĂ­ estarĂ© seguro de que tĂș has demostrado el amor que le tienes a mi amo».
15 AĂșn no habĂ­a terminado de orar cuando vio que se acercaba Rebeca, con su cĂĄntaro al hombro. Rebeca era hija de Betuel, que a su vez era hijo de Milca y Najor, el hermano de Abraham.
