Genesis 24:64 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:64

And Rebekah lifted up her eyes
And looked about: and when she saw Isaac;
whom she suspected him to be, and therefore inquired of the servant, who told her who he was: she lighted off the camel;
or "fell" F23 from it, not accidentally, or through surprise, but willingly, and in honour to Isaac, as was customary; for had she sat on her camel when she met him, it would not have seemed respectful enough to him; though Jarchi thinks she did not get off, but only bowed herself upon the camel, when she came near him.

Genesis 24:64 In-Context

62 Izak nu kwam, van daar men komt tot den put Lachai-Roi; en hij woonde in het zuiderland.
63 En Izak was uitgegaan om te bidden in het veld, tegen het naken van den avond; en hij hief zijn ogen op en zag toe, en ziet, de kemelen kwamen!
64 Rebekka hief ook haar ogen op, en zij zag Izak; en zij viel van den kemel af.
65 En zij zeide tot den knecht: Wie is die man, die ons in het veld tegemoet wandelt? En de knecht zeide: Dat is mijn heer! Toen nam zij den sluier, en bedekte zich.
66 En de knecht vertelde aan Izak al de zaken, die hij gedaan had.
