Abraham's servant, tasked with finding a wife for Isaac, meets Rebekah at a well. His question about her family and the availability of lodging reflects the customs of the time, where hospitality was a vital part of life. Travelers often depended on the generosity of others for shelter and sustenance. This inquiry is not just about practical needs but also serves as a test of character and hospitality, which were highly valued virtues. The servant's journey is guided by prayer and faith, and Rebekah's response is pivotal, as it fulfills the conditions he set in his heart for identifying the right woman for Isaac. Her willingness to offer hospitality is a sign of her kindness and suitability, aligning with God's plan. This story highlights the themes of divine guidance, the importance of family ties, and the role of hospitality in building relationships and fulfilling God's promises.
Then he asked, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?"
