Genesis 24:42

And I came this day unto the well ,.... Hither he was come at length by several days' journey; not on the same day he came from Abraham, as the Jewish writers say F14 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 95. 1. Bereshit Rabba, sect. 59. fol. 52. 2. Jarchi in loc. , by means of a miracle:

and said, O Lord God of my master Abraham ; being come to the well, he prayed as follows:

if now thou do prosper the way which I go ; his meaning is, that if it was the pleasure of God that he should succeed in what he was come about, that he would let him know it by a token; and in Genesis 24:42 he relates the token he desired, which was granted him, and his success, as before recorded, from Genesis 24:21 .
