Bereshis 24:16 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:16

And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon
Of a good countenance and beautiful aspect: a virgin, neither had any man known her;
not only was reckoned a virgin, but was really one, pure and incorrupt: and she went down to the well and filled her pitcher, and came up;
by which it appears the well lay low, there was a descent unto it, and an ascent from it. Rebekah was very diligent and speedy in doing her work, she did not stay to look at strangers, or hold an idle conversation with other damsels that came thither on the same account; but, having filled her pitcher, was making the best of her way home.
