Hello dear Amigos!
I am Jessy Rose🌹
I am so glad for your constant support, and I am very happy to share another beautiful character from the Bible even this week without fail.
Who is this very beautiful woman?
What is her speciality?
What is her character?
Is she beautiful only in appearance?
GENESIS 24:16
The woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again.
This very beautiful woman has a very good personality and good character.
Who is this beautiful woman?
She is the daughter of Bethuel son of Milkah, who was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor. And her name is 'Rebekah'.
She has an extraordinary family history.
Why because,
Abraham is the 'Father of Faith'.
His brother Nahor, meaning 'Snorting'.
The wife of Nahor is Milkah, meaning 'Queen'.
Son of Nahor & Milkah is Bethuel, meaning 'Filiation of God'.
Daughter of Bethuel is Rebekah, meaning 'To tie firmly', 'Noose', 'To bind'.
Now let's see the characteristics of Rebekah,
1. A young woman
2. A very beautiful woman
3. A virgin
4. No man had ever slept with her
5. She kept her jar on her shoulder
6. She went down to the spring
7. Filled her jar with water
8. Came up again with a jar full of water
9. She gave water to a servant who asked her to pour little water from her jar
10. She drew water for camels too, until they have had enough to drink.
A typical camel can drink 200 litres (53 gallons) of water in three minutes
This servant got 10 camels then imagine how much water she might have drawn from well.
These days people think to give a glass of water but she has drawn water for all camels.
She is beautiful in and out.
For her hard work, she received a gold nose ring weighing a beka, two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels as gifts.
Not just that when the servant asked if there was a room for us to spend the night at your father's house.
She replied, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, as well as room for you to spend the night."
The young woman ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
Her father's name is Bethuel which means 'Filiation of God' we already discussed earlier. She was brought up by the divine qualities of God.
In God's presence, there is plenty of straw and fodder and a place to stay.
We find true peace only with God.
Rebekah has so many good qualities. Her work is always vigorous.
The meaning of her name is 'To tie firmly', 'Noose', 'To bind' which we learned earlier right?
She was grown in God's presence by binding up the world to sin and sin to the father of sin, Satan.
She has shown a place to stay in God's presence.
Even Jesus told, I go and prepare a place for you (JOHN 14:2)
The Son of Man has no place to lay his head.
Jesus Christ has no place on this earth, but he went to prepare a place for us.
By the way, who is this servant we're speaking about?
Where did he come from?
Why did he come?
He is a servant for 'Father of Faith - Abraham'.
He came in search of a virgin to marry Issac son of Abraham.
We already learned that meaning of Issac is 'Laugh'.
Abraham made his servant swear an oath. In God's presence when this servant was praying then this young Rebekah has come.
Seeing Rebekah, her personality, her good characteristics, he decided that she is the perfect wife for his Master's son. He settled the marriage proposal. And started his journey back to his master's place.
Rebekah's family members asked this servant to let her remain with them for ten days.
But he denied that he had to return back to his master.
When they asked Rebekah that will she go with this man?
She replied, 'I will go'.
In the evening when Issac was meditating in the field, Rebekah looked up and saw Issac and she took her veil and covered herself.
The veil represents humbleness.
Rebekah was blessed by her family members, “Our sister, may you increase
