“And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.”
She said: drink, my lord, and quickly lowered her jar to her hands and gave him a drink. The response is immediate and generous — she lowers the jar herself, offers the water to a stranger, and calls him my lord with the respect appropriate to a formal encounter. The speed of her response — quickly — mirrors Abraham's quickness in Genesis 18:6-7. The application: the character of Rebekah is displayed in the first action: immediate, generous, respectful. The answer to the servant's prayer is arriving in real time.
