Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 24:54-61

Rebekah is here taking leave of her father's house; and 1. Abraham's servant presses for a dismission. Though he and his company were very welcome, and very cheerful there, yet he said, Send me away (Gen. 24:54), and again, Gen. 24:56. He knew his master would expect him home with some impatience; he had business to do at home which wanted him, and therefore, as one that preferred his work before his pleasure, he was for hastening home. Note, Lingering and loitering no way become a wise and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 24:54

And they did eat and drink, he, and the men that were with him ,.... Every thing being settled with respect to the affair he came about, he then sat down at table, and ate of the provisions set before him; he and the men that came along with him; and refreshed themselves: and tarried all night ; lodged there all night: and they rose up in the morning ; the servant and his men: and he said, send me away to my master ; either to Abraham, who was waiting to hear what success his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 24:55

And her brother and her mother said ,.... Here her brother Laban is set before his mother, as above before his father, being the chief speaker and the principal manager of business: let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten ; which was but a reasonable request; and if no more time is intended, it is much the servant should object, and not readily agree to it; but in the margin it is, "a full year" or "ten months"; and so Onkelos and Jonathan, and other Jewish writers ... read more

And he said unto them, hinder me not ,.... Do not detain me, let me set forward on my journey: seeing, the Lord hath prospered my way ; succeeded him in what he came about; and by his being succeeded so well, and so soon, it seemed to be the mind of the Lord that he should hasten his journey homeward: send me away, that I may go to my master ; and carry him the good news of his success, and attend his domestic affairs, over which he was set. read more

And they did eat and drink - When Eliezer had got a favorable answer, then he and his servants sat down to meat; this he had refused to do till he had told his message, Genesis 24:33 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 24:55

Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten - The original is very abrupt and obscure, because we are not acquainted with the precise meaning of the form of speech which is here used; עשור או ימים yamim o asor Days or Ten, probably meaning a year or ten months, as the margin reads it, or a week or ten days. This latter is the most likely sense, as there would be no propriety after having given their consent that she should go, in detaining her for a year or ten months. In... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 24:54

Verse 54 54.And they rose up in the morning. On this point Moses insists the more particularly; partly, for the purpose of commending the faithful industry of the servant in fulfilling his master’s commands; partly, for that of teaching, that his mind was inflamed by the Spirit of God, for he is so ardent as to allow no truce to others, and no relaxation to himself. Thus, although he conducted himself as became an honest and prudent servant, it is still not to be doubted that the Lord impelled... read more

The unfolding of the Divine purpose. I. THE EXPANDED BLESSING . The first line of the web of sacred history stretches itself out to Mesopotamia. The aged patriarch, blessed of Jehovah in all things, is fading from our sight. We must look on a new generation and see the blessing expanded. II. THE DIVINE GUIDANCE . The angel shall be sent before Isaac, and he will overrule the events and wills which seem to stand in the way. The marriage of Isaac was a matter of most solemn... read more

A bride for the heir.-3. Eliezer and Laban, or proposals for the bride. I. THE HOSPITABLE BROTHER . 1. The eager invitation . "Come in, thou blessed of the Lord!" 2. The kindly reception . II. THE AGED WOOER . 1. Impatient . The nature of his mission urged him to dispatch, as knowing well that his master was old, that Isaac was needful of a bride, that coy maidens are soonest caught by fervent suitors, and that successful wooing brooks no delay. 2. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 24:53-54

And the servant brought forth jewels —literally, vessels (σκεύη, LXX .), the idea being that of things finished or completed; from כָּלָה , to finish (cf. Genesis 31:37 ; Genesis 45:20 )— of silver, and jewels (or vessels) of gold, and raiment ,—covering garments, e.g. the outer robes of Orientals ( Genesis 20:11 , Genesis 20:12 , Genesis 20:13 , Genesis 20:15 ; Genesis 41:42 ); especially precious ones ( 1 Kings 22:10 )— and gave them to Rebekah —as... read more
