So he said: I am Abraham's servant. The introduction is the most important identification he can make in this household: Abraham is known here, Abraham is Nahor's brother, and the name of Abraham will open every door the servant needs. The brevity of the introduction — just three words — is followed by an extended account that takes up most of the chapter. But the three words establish everything. The application: knowing whose servant you are is the foundation of your authority in any mission. The servant does not introduce himself by name but by his master.
