“And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.”
Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, who was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor. The answer arrives before the prayer is complete. Isaiah 65:24 promises that before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear. The narrator confirms Rebekah's identity before the servant knows it — she is exactly the right person, from exactly the right family. The application: God's provision for a specific request can arrive before the request is fully articulated. The answer is already on the way.
