“And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.”
The servant continues: my master's wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age, and he has given him everything he owns. The birth of Isaac — the miraculous birth to the aged Sarah — is the next piece of the testimony. The son who carries the entire inheritance is the reason for this mission. The servant connects the miraculous birth (God's power) to the total inheritance (Abraham's provision) to establish why finding the right wife for Isaac matters so much. The application: the full story matters in persuasion. The servant does not merely announce a mission; he tells the whole story.
