⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
This verse shows Rebekah going above and beyond what was asked, offering to water not just the servant but all his camels too.
📚 Historical Context
This takes place when Abraham's servant was searching for 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 labor-intensive work, as a single camel could drink 20-30 gallons after a long journey, and the servant had ten camels.
