“And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.”
After she had given him a drink, she said: I will draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink. Ten thirsty camels require enormous effort — potentially drawing hundreds of gallons of water. Rebekah offers this without being asked, without calculation, as the natural extension of the hospitality she has begun. Ruth 2:11 records Boaz acknowledging Ruth's kindness to her mother-in-law — the same generous service to those in need. The application: the generosity that offers more than was asked — without calculation or resentment — is the generosity that the servant's prayer was seeking. Rebekah is the answer.
