The Importance of Hospitality

The narrative emphasizes the significance of hospitality through Rebecca's actions. When approached by the servant of Abraham at the well, she offers not only water for him but also eagerly draws water for his camels, demonstrating her kindness and willingness to help a stranger. This act of going the extra mile illustrates the values of generosity and hospitality that were highly regarded in that culture. Her readiness to provide for both the servant and his camels is portrayed as a key factor in identifying her as the chosen bride for Isaac.
