📚 Historical Context

This is Abraham's servant speaking after successfully finding Rebekah at the well in Mesopotamia. Abraham had sent his most trusted servant on a mission to find a wife for Isaac from among Abraham's relatives, rather than from the local Canaanite people. The servant had prayed for a specific sign, and God answered by leading him directly to Rebekah, who was Abraham's great-niece.
