# General Information:

Abraham's servant continues speaking to Rebekah's family.

# speaking in my heart

To pray silently in one's mind is spoken of as if he were speaking in his heart. The word "heart" refers to his thoughts and his mind. Alternate translation: "praying" or "praying quietly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# behold, Rebekah came

"suddenly Rebekah came" or "I was surprised because I saw Rebekah coming"

# pitcher

This is a medium-size jar made of clay used for holding and pouring liquids. See how you translated this in [Genesis 24:14](../24/14.md).

# she went down to the spring

The phrase "went down" is used because the spring was somewhere lower than where the servant was standing.

# spring

opening in the ground from which fresh water comes
