Génesis 24:18 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:18

And she said, drink, my lord
Signifying at once that he was welcome to drink what he would, giving him a very honourable title, observing that he had a pretty large retinue with him of men and camels; so that she took him for some considerable personage: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand;
from off her shoulder, and let it rest upon her hand or arm: and gave him drink;
let him drink what he would of it.

16 Y la moza era de muy hermoso aspecto, virgen, 谩 la que var贸n no hab铆a conocido; la cual descendi贸 谩 la fuente, y llen贸 su c谩ntaro, y se volv铆a.
17 Entonces el criado corri贸 hacia ella, y dijo: Ru茅gote que me des 谩 beber un poco de agua de tu c谩ntaro.
18 Y ella respondi贸: Bebe, se帽or m铆o: y di贸se prisa 谩 bajar su c谩ntaro sobre su mano, y le di贸 谩 beber.
19 Y cuando acab贸 de darle 谩 beber, dijo: Tambi茅n para tus camellos sacar茅 agua, hasta que acaben de beber.
