Wesley's Notes for Genesis 24:61
24:61 And her damsels - It seems then, when she went to the well for water, it was not because she had no servants at command, but because she took pleasure in the instances of humanity and industry.

9 years AgoDonna GeorgeI believe the veil is used when you are about to be married, as Rebekah knew she had met the man that would have been her husband. It is probably not to be used in all instances. I believe it is used correctly by the Christians? Because it was not said that she was wearing it before she met her husbandFlag

9 years AgoJosephLike Father like Son! Isaac must have learnt a lot from his father Abraham and he knew how to commune with God and spend quiet moments alone with God. Eliezar must have learnt from Abraham his master, how to worship, praise God and depend upon God in prayers while exercising faith. Our lives is like a book that people are reading daily. We must endeavour and strive to make sure it points all those around us to Jesus Christ.Flag

10 years AgoDavid Nwosu for verse 65The action òf Rebekah, was a form of symbolism. It teaches that a married woman should not shawn or shave her hair while her husband is alive except that she is mourning. Check 1Cor.11:3, 6,7 and 10. Note that the glory of the woman is her hair. (I am open to correction pl.)Flag

10 years AgoGeorge nwaneriGod is really wonderful, i actually gain alot from this passage. It is good to depend on the Lord before we enbark on anything or any journey, but today the youth of today do there own things in diferent way. They can marry anywhere wheather good or bad in the name of love, yet those love is not actually the true love but lust. The bible says there is something that look right to a man but the end is the way of dead.Flag
