A Character of Service
Commentators emphasize that Rebekah's actions reveal an exceptional character. She didn't just offer a drink; she "hasted" and "ran" to water ten camels, a task requiring immense effort. Matthew Henry notes that her actions displayed the ideal qualifications for a partner and mother: industriousness, humility, a serviceable spirit, and hospitality. Her character was demonstrated not in words, but in her cheerful and strenuous service to a stranger.
