Scripture Focus

34And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

35And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

36And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

37And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:

38But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

39And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

40And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:

41Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

42And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

43Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

44And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.

45And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

46And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

47And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

48And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

49And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

Genesis 24:34-49

Biblical Context

A servant testifies to Abraham's oath and the sign God provides, confirming Rebekah as the chosen wife for Isaac. The story centers on faith, obedience, and divine guidance.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, Genesis 24:34-49 becomes a meditation on the state of consciousness you hold. The servant is not a man but a wearing of loyalty—your own fidelity to a higher idea, Abraham's seed representing your central purpose. Your oath is a fixed assumption you make with the I AM: 'I will find the right partner, the right path, by the guidance that is mine.' The LORD God of my master is the inner awareness you walk with daily; the angel is the quiet impulse that funds your steps, prospering the way. When the servant says he will be clear from the oath if the kin won't provide, he points to the drama of choice: any doubt dissolves the contract you have sworn to. The well stands for the present moment at which you irrigate your life with attention. Rebekah's appearance signals the inner confirmation that your state is ready to birth its outer form. The act of worship—blessing the LORD—shows gratitude from conviction. Keep faith with your oath, and the signs will align you with your true line of leadings.
