Rebekah

Rebekah's encounter with Abraham's servant at the well demonstrates her character of kindness, hospitality, and willingness to serve others. Her choice to marry Isaac and journey to a foreign land shows her faith and obedience to God's plan.

Overview

When Abraham's servant was sent to find a wife for Isaac, he encountered Rebekah at a well in Mesopotamia. Her gracious act of drawing water not only for the servant but also for his camels revealed her generous spirit and caught the servant's attention as a sign from the Lord. Rebekah's family quickly recognized God's hand in the meeting and consented to her marriage to Isaac.

Key Scriptures

"Before he had finished speaking, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milkah, who was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor." (Genesis 24:15, NIV)

"The servant hurried to meet her and said, 'Please give me a little water from your jar.' 'Drink, my lord,' she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink." (Genesis 24:17-18, NIV)

Application
