L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 24:1-67

ISAAC'S BRIDE FROM HIS FATHER'S FAMILY Only after Sarah has died does Isaac receive a wife. When Israel, after the death of the Lord Jesus, was set aside as the vessel of God's testimony in the world, then God the Father (typified by Abraham) sent the Spirit of God (symbolized by the servant) to obtain a wife for the Lord Jesus, of whom Isaac is a picture. Abraham required his servant to swear by the God of heaven and earth that he would not take a wife for Isaac from the Canaanites, but one... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 24:1-67

ISAAC ’S MARRIAGE , ABRAHAM ’S DEATH In Abraham’s time, communications between families separated by long distances were few and far between. But he seems to have gotten news from his brother’s home sometime after the birth of Isaac, as recorded at the close of chapter 22, linking that chapter to the one we are now considering. SELECTING THE BRIDE (Genesis 24:1-52 ) Notice the preparation made by Abraham for Isaac’s marriage (Genesis 24:1-9 ), the oath he administers to his servant, the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 24:1-67

Rebekah: Domestic Life Gen 24:66 Instead of looking at the beautiful chapter before us as showing only how a wife was chosen for Isaac, look at it as a story full of family interest, and bright with many points of general human feeling. Of course the choice of a wife for Isaac is the one great fact in the chapter; but, without making its importance secondary, we may gather lessons about common household life which will touch a very large circle of sympathy and action. The first figure is very... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 24:8-10

And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again. And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter. And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. Nahor was the same place as Haran. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 24:10-28

10-28 Abraham's servant devoutly acknowledged God. We have leave to be particular in recommending our affairs to the care of Divine providence. He proposes a sign, not that he intended to proceed no further, if not gratified in it; but it is a prayer that God would provide a good wife for his young master; and that was a good prayer. She should be simple, industrious, humble, cheerful, serviceable, and hospitable. Whatever may be the fashion, common sense, as well as piety, tells us, these are... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Genesis 24:7-34

Gen_24:7 Gen_25:34 . The opening verses of our chapter show us that Abraham remained true to the call of God, that had originally reached him; and that, not only for himself but for his children and household after him; thus justifying the Lord's estimate of him, as expressed in Gen_18:19 . Verse Gen_24:7 supplements this by showing the full confidence he had that the Lord would support this faithful adherence to His word. Twice in these verses does he speak of the Lord God of heaven. Heaven... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 24:10-14

The arrival at Haran and the prayer at the well v. 10. And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. As Abraham's chief steward, Eliezer had charge of all his master's goods; therefore, in order to represent him worthily, he not only started out with a caravan of some size, but he also took along various valuables in the form of costly presents for the... read more

Isaac’s marriage Genesis 24:1-671And Abraham was old, and well stricken [come in days] in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. 2And Abraham said unto his eldest servant1 of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: 3And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 24:10-27

Rebekah Meets Abraham’s Servant Genesis 24:10-27 As we enter upon a new day, or a fresh undertaking, it is always wise and right to ask for good-speed. Good-speed is God-speed. Praying times are not lost times. The reaper saves time when he stops to whet his scythe. Eliezer had learned a sincere respect for his master’s piety, and felt that his name was a sure talisman with God. How much more may we ask in the name of Jesus! John 14:13 . What a concentration of heaven-contrived circumstances... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 24:1-67

This chapter is complete in itself and is a perfect idyll. Abraham was well stricken in years. Sarah was dead. Isaac, the son of Abraham, was still unmarried. In the interest of the divine program Isaac must not marry a Canaanite nor go back to find a bride among the people who had been left behind. Thus Eliezer was sent to seek a bride among his own kindred. Of course, the story is Eastern, and gives the account of how the quest was undertaken and rewarded. In this story Laban appears and... read more
