📚 Historical Context
In Genesis 24, Abraham's servant is on a mission to find a wife for Isaac from his family in Mesopotamia, following Abraham's instructions to avoid local Canaanite women. The servant prays for a sign from God, and Rebekah's quick act of drawing water for him and his camels fulfills that sign, highlighting the cultural expectation of hospitality in ancient nomadic societies where providing for travelers was essential for survival and social harmony.
