Genesis 24:50-53

24:50

Laban <03837> [Laban.]

These seem both to be brothers, of whom Laban was the eldest and chief: the opinion of Josephus appears to be very correct, that Bethuel, the father, had been dead some time.

<01697> [The thing.]

<03201> [we.]


24:51

Rebekah <07259> [Rebekah.]

decided <01696> [hath.]


24:52

bowed <07812> [worshipped.]


24:53

jewelry <03627> [jewels. Heb. vessels.]

The original word denotes vessels, utensils, instruments, furniture, or dress; and these presented by Abraham's servant might have been of various kinds.

brother <0251> [brother.]

No mention is made of her father.

valuable <04030> [precious.]

This term, rendered "precious things," as may be seen in the parallel texts, is used to express exquisite fruits or delicacies, and precious plants or flowers: but here it may mean gifts in general, though rather of an inferior kind to those mentioned above.
