“And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.”
He begins the testimony: the LORD has blessed my master abundantly and he has become wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys. The testimony to Abraham's blessing is the servant's credential: he comes from a household that the LORD has visibly blessed. The material abundance is the evidence of the covenant blessing. The application: testifying to what God has done in the life of the one who sent you is the beginning of the argument for why the message should be received.
