Genesis 24:51 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:51

Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee
Not only was present, but she was delivered to him, or his request was granted: take [her], and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife;
not that they meant he should go away directly with her; for they afterwards solicit her stay with them some time; but they agreed that he should bare her and conduct her to Isaac, to be taken by him for his wife: as the Lord hath spoken;
for so they understood the token given to the servant to know her by, as the determination of God.
