And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in? And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord. And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.
In these verses, we see the servant of Abraham asking for lodging at the house of Rebekah’s family. Rebekah graciously offers to accommodate him and his companions. The servant then praises God for leading him to Rebekah’s family, recognizing God’s hand in orchestrating this encounter. Overall, these verses highlight the importance of hospitality, trust in God’s guidance, and acknowledging God’s blessings in our lives. This passage serves as a reminder to trust in God’s providence and to show kindness to others in our interactions.
