Suddenly, before he had finished praying, there was Rebekah approaching the well with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel and the granddaughter of Milcah and Abraham’s brother Nahor. The young woman was strikingly beautiful, unmarried, and still a virgin. She walked down to the well, filled her jar, and came back up. Abraham’s servant hurried over to meet her and said, “Please, lower your jar and give me a little drink.” She responded, “Drink, my lord.” She then quickly lowered her jar to give him a drink. Then, after she had finished giving him a drink, she added, “I will also draw water for your camels until they have finished drinking.” She quickly emptied her jar into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw more water, until she had watered all the camels. Meanwhile, the servant stared at her, silently pondering whether YAHWEH had indeed made his journey successful.
