Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 54-67 - Abraham's servant, as one that chose his work before his pleasure, wa for hastening home. Lingering and loitering no way become a wise an good man who is faithful to his duty. As children ought not to marr without their parents' consent, so parents ought not to marry the without their own. Rebekah consented, not only to go, but to go a once. The goodness of Rebekah's character shows there was nothing wron in her answer, though it be not agreeable to modern customs among us We may hope that she had such an idea of the religion and godliness in the family she was to go to, as made her willing to forget her ow people and her father's house. Her friends dismiss her with suitabl attendants, and with hearty good wishes. They blessed Rebekah. When ou relations are entering into a new condition, we ought by prayer to commend them to the blessing and grace of God. Isaac was well employe when he met Rebekah. He went out to take the advantage of a silen evening, and a solitary place, for meditation and prayer; those divin exercises by which we converse with God and our own hearts. Holy soul love retirement; it will do us good to be often alone, if rightl employed; and we are never less alone than when alone. Observe what a affectionate son Isaac was: it was about three years since his mothe died, and yet he was not, till now, comforted. See also what a affectionate husband he was to his wife. Dutiful sons promise fair to be affectionate husbands; he that fills up his first station in lif with honour, is likely to do the same in those that follow __________________________________________________________________
