24:10 那仆人从他主人的骆驼里取了十匹骆驼，并带些他主人各样的财物，起身往美索不达米亚去，到了拿鹤的城。
24:11 天将晚，众女子出来打水的时候，他便叫骆驼跪在城外的水井那里。
24:12 他说：“耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的 神啊，求你施恩给我主人亚伯拉罕，使我今日遇见好机会。
24:13 我现今站在井旁，城内居民的女子们正出来打水。
24:14 我向哪一个女子说：‘请你拿下水瓶来，给我水喝。’她若说：‘请喝，我也给你的骆驼喝。’愿那女子就作你所预定给你仆人以撒的妻。这样，我便知道你施恩给我主人了。”
24:15 话还没有说完，不料，利百加肩头上扛著水瓶出来。利百加是彼土利所生的，彼土利是亚伯拉罕兄弟拿鹤妻子密迦的儿子。
24:16 那女子容貌极其俊美，还是处女，也未曾有人亲近她。她下到井旁，打满了瓶，又上来。
24:17 仆人跑上前去迎著她说：“求你将瓶里的水给我一点喝。”
24:18 女子说：“我主请喝。”就急忙拿下瓶来，托在手上给他喝。
24:19 女子给他喝了，就说：“我再为你的骆驼打水，叫骆驼也喝足。”
24:20 她就急忙把瓶里的水倒在槽里，又跑到井旁打水，就为所有的骆驼打上水来。
24:21 那人定睛看她，一句话也不说，要晓得耶和华赐他通达的道路没有。
24:22 骆驼喝足了，那人就拿一个金环，重半舍客勒，两个金镯，重十舍客勒，给了那女子，
24:23 说：“请告诉我，你是谁的女儿？你父亲家里有我们住宿的地方没有？”
24:24 女子说：“我是密迦与拿鹤之子彼土利的女儿。”
24:25 又说：“我们家里足有粮草，也有住宿的地方。”
24:26 那人就低头向耶和华下拜，
24:27 说：“耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的 神是应当称颂的，因他不断地以慈爱诚实待我主人。至于我，耶和华在路上引领我，直走到我主人的兄弟家里。”

圣经灵修版 :
井旁遇见良人……
24:11 井是全村的主要水源，通常是在城外的大路旁边。人们常要走一公里左右的路到井那里打水回家。农夫和牧人从附近的田间打水给他们的牲畜喝。井边是一个认识新朋友和跟旧朋友闲谈的好地方，利百加每日两次到井边打水。
成为别人学习信心的榜样，亚伯拉罕做到了，我有没有这样的目标？
24:12 亚伯拉罕的老仆人求神引领他完成这极其重要的任务。他一定从主人身上学到很多信心的功课，并且认识神。你的亲友和同事从你身上认识神多少？我们要像亚伯拉罕一样建立信心的榜样；也要像他的老仆人一样，凡事都寻求神的引导。
亚伯拉罕的仆人向神求明确的凭证对不对呢？
24:14 他所求的凭证跟一般情形稍有不同。按当时接待客旅的习惯，井旁的妇人会打水给行路疲乏的人喝，而不是他们的牲畜。亚伯拉罕的仆人只是求神指示他，使他遇到愿意服事人的、甚至超越平常惯例的女子。愿意打水给骆驼喝，是愿意服事人的表现。他知道正直的重要，他不求神使他遇见富有、漂亮的女子，因为他知道内心正直才是最主要的条件，所以求神这样帮助他完成任务。
娶妻求淑妇──我著重的是人的外观，还是内心的美丽？
24:15-16 利百加样貌美丽，但是老仆人注重的是她的内在美。我们看重外表，常花时间和金钱来修饰，我们又花了多少功夫来建立内在美呢？忍耐、慈爱、喜乐能使我们真正讨人喜爱。
利百加遇人有需要即帮忙；当别人有需要时，我是视而不见，还是……
24:18-21 利百加愿意立刻打水给老仆人和他的骆驼喝，清楚显明她乐意服事人。打水的瓶子又大又重，而走了一个星期路程的骆驼，需饮大量的水──每头可饮九百多公升。老仆人看到利百加取水饮骆驼，就知道她是尽心工作的人。你有没有服事人的精神？当有人向我们求助，或我们看到别人有需要时，我们要尽力而为。
亚伯拉罕的仆人懂得立即感恩，而我却……
24:26-27 亚伯拉罕的仆人知道神垂听了他的祷告，就立刻感谢神的美善和引导。只要我们像那老仆人一样合神使用，神也必使用我们、引领我们，而我们第一个反应也该是赞美和感谢神拣选我们，在我们身上动工，并透过我们工作。

丹尼斯·莫克『系统查经』
仆人的顺服（24：10－27）
9. 于是仆人踏上了600多公里的征途，前往亚伯拉罕先前所居
之地，兄弟拿鹤现在的居所，巴旦亚兰的哈兰城，去为以撒
寻找新娘（24：10；参见22：20－24）。有意思的是亚伯
拉罕没有到其他的亲戚（比如罗得）那里挑选新娘。
10. 将到那城时，仆人设计了一个在主前求的印证，求神指定那
女子！（24：11－14）。
“我向那一个女子说：‘请你拿下水瓶来，给我水喝。’
她若说：‘请喝，我也给你的骆驼喝。’愿那女子就
作你所预定给你仆人以撒的妻。这样，我便知道你施
恩给我主人了。”（24：14）
注意老仆人的祷告不光是为作成此事，而且是让神“施恩
（hesed）给我主人亚伯拉罕”（24：12）。Hesed意为“守
约的爱”，因此老仆人实际求神所作的是：显明神信守他对
亚伯拉罕的应许！
11. 利百加恰是第一个出现在井边的女子，她也是最佳人选（24：
15－16）。不仅如此，她一丝不差地印证了老仆人设计的试
验（24：13－20），包括为骆驼打水，因为她有一颗乐意服
侍的心。
12. 这时老仆人的反应只能说是惊叹不已（24：21）。他立即奉
送了礼物，并询问她的家世（24：22－24）。
当利百加热情相邀时（24：25），老仆人就赞美神的带
领。
“那人就低头向耶和华下拜，说：‘耶和华我主人亚伯
拉罕的神是应当称颂的，因他不断的以慈爱诚实待我
主人。至于我，耶和华在路上引领我，直走到我主人
的兄弟家里。’”（24：26－27）
真的，这老仆人实在是亲眼看见了神之手的带领！
