“And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.”
Then the servant left, taking ten of his master's camels loaded with all kinds of good things from his master. He set out for Aram Naharaim and made his way to the town of Nahor. The ten loaded camels are a demonstration of Abraham's wealth — goods that will serve as gifts in the negotiation — and a visible sign of the covenant blessing. The specific destination — Aram Naharaim, Nahor's town — shows the servant knows exactly where he is going, guided by the family history. The application: preparation and direction are both present in the servant's departure. He goes with resources and a specific destination.
