Genesis 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.

Genesis 24:18 In-Context

16 puella decora nimis virgoque pulcherrima et incognita viro descenderat autem ad fontem et impleverat hydriam ac revertebatur

17 occurritque ei servus et ait pauxillum mihi ad sorbendum praebe aquae de hydria tua

18 quae respondit bibe domine mi celeriterque deposuit hydriam super ulnam suam et dedit ei potum

19 cumque ille bibisset adiecit quin et camelis tuis hauriam aquam donec cuncti bibant

20 effundensque hydriam in canalibus recurrit ad puteum ut hauriret aquam et haustam omnibus camelis dedit
