⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
This verse shows Rebekah going above and beyond in her kindness, working hard to provide water not just for Abraham's servant, but for all his camels too.
📚 Historical Context
This takes place when Abraham's servant was seeking a wife for Isaac and had prayed for a sign - that the right woman would offer water to both him and his camels. Watering camels was extremely hard work, as a thirsty camel can drink 20-30 gallons of water, and the servant had ten camels.
