Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 24:10-28

Abraham's servant now begins to make a figure in this story; and, though he is not named, yet much is here recorded to his honour, and for an example to all servants, who shall be honoured if, by faithfully serving God and their masters, they adorn the doctrine of Christ (compare Prov. 27:18; Titus 2:10); for there is no respect of persons with God, Col. 3:24, 25. A good servant that makes conscience of the duty of his place, and does it in the fear of God, though he make not a figure in the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 24:29-53

We have here the making up of the marriage between Isaac and Rebekah. It is related very largely and particularly, even to the minute circumstances, which, we should think, might have been spared, while other things of great moment and mystery (as the story of Melchizedek) are related in few words. Thus God conceals that which is curious from the wise and prudent, reveals to babes that which is common and level to their capacity (Matt. 11:25), and rules and saves the world by the foolishness... read more

And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking ,.... Having had enough to abate their thirst and satisfy them, by means of Rebekah's drawing water for them: that the man took a golden earring ; out of his pocket, or out of a box or parcel that was upon the camels; it is in the margin of our Bibles, "a jewel for the forehead"; or, as some render it, a "nose jewel" F25 נזם "imponeret naso ejus monile aureum", Junius & Tremellius. ; and so in Genesis 24:47 , "an earring... read more

And said ,.... After he had given her the earring and the bracelets, he put the following question, according to Jarchi, and so our version seems to intimate the same; but, as it is related in Genesis 24:47 ; the question was put before those were given, therefore some render the words, "and he had said", or, "and after he had said" F6 ויאמר "et dixerat", Drusius; "postquam dixisset", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. , namely, what follows; though, as Schmidt observes, the matter... read more

And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah ,.... Which Milcah was the daughter of Haran, Abraham's elder brother, and, as thought by many, sister to Sarah, Abraham's wife, see Genesis 11:29 , which she bare unto Nahor ; Abraham's brother; so that her father was Nahor's son, not by his concubine Reumah, but by his lawful wife Milcah, which sets Rebekah's descent in a true light, see Genesis 22:20 ; whether she told her own name is not certain, it may be,... read more

She said moreover unto him ,.... In answer to the second question: we have both straw and provender enough ; for the camels, straw for their litter, and provender for their food, as hay, barley, &c.; and room to lodge in ; for him and his men; this she could venture to say, and invite him to come and take up his quarters in her father's house, without going home to relate the question put to her, and to have leave to give the invitation, knowing full well the generosity,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 24:26

And the man bowed down his head ,.... To show what a deep sense he had of the divine goodness, and in humble acknowledgment of the favours he had received in being thus providentially directed: and worshipped the Lord ; gave thanks unto him, that he had thus far prospered him, hoping and believing that things were in good forwardness, according to his master's mind and will. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 24:27

And he said, blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham ,.... See Gill on Genesis 24:12 , who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and truth ; or hath not withdrawn his mercy, grace and goodness, truth and faithfulness; for his loving kindness he does not take away from his people, nor suffer his faithfulness to fail; his mercy and grace in making kind and gracious promises continue, and his truth in performing them sooner or later appear, and both in this case; as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 24:28

And the damsel ran ,.... Having invited him to come and lodge at her father's house, that he might not be brought in abruptly, she ran before to acquaint the family of what had passed: and told them of her mother's house these things ; she did not go to her father to inform him of it; some think he was dead, as Josephus F7 Antiqu. l. 1. c. 16. sect. 2. , but the contrary appears from Genesis 24:50 ; rather the reason was, because her mother had an house, a tent, or an apartment... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 24:29

And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban ,.... Perhaps he was her only brother, or however the elder brother, the principal in the family, her father Bethuel being old: and Laban ran out : out of his house, and out of the city of Haran: unto the man unto the well ; this was after Rebekah had got home, and had related to the family whom she had met with at the well, and what had passed between them, as follows: read more
