1 Chapter a Day’s take
5-17 It so happened that the words were barely out of his mouth when Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel whose mother was Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with a water jug on her shoulder. The girl was stunningly beautiful, a pure virgin. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came back up. The servant ran to meet her and said, “Please, can I have a sip of water from your jug?”
18-21 She said, “Certainly, drink!” And she held the jug so that he could drink. When he had satisfied his thirst she said, “I’ll get water for your camels, too, until they’ve drunk their fill.” She promptly emptied her jug into the trough and ran back to the well to fill it, and she kept at it until she had watered all the camels.
I looked up how much water a camel drinks. They drink 20-25 gallons in 10 minutes and if they drink their fill, it could be as much as 40 gallons. Abraham’s servant had ten camels so the least amount of water Rebekah would have put in the trough for the camels was 200 gallons.What an amazingly generous and servant-hearted young lady Rebekah was!
Because of her willingness to serve others, she ended up married to a very wealthy man and in the last of the chapter the Bible tells us that Isaac loved Rebekah. Letting God lead you to your spouse is the best plan!
