And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
She said, Drink, my lord; for his retinue showed him to be a person of more than ordinary quality.

And she said, drink, my lord,…. Signifying at once that he was welcome to drink what he would, giving him a very honourable title, observing that he had a pretty large retinue with him of men and camels; so that she took him for some considerable personage:
and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand; from off her shoulder, and let it rest upon her hand or arm:
and gave him drink; let him drink what he would of it.

‘And she said, “Drink, sir.” And she hastily let down her pitcher on her hand and gave him a drink. And when she had finished giving him a drink she said, “I will also draw for your camels until they have had enough to drink.” And she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.’
The well is clearly a large, deep hole in the ground with steps leading down to the spring. It is also clear that there was a trough by the well for the feeding of animals, and without hesitation Rebekah fulfils the steward’s requirements in accordance with the covenant he had made with Yahweh. Ten camels would take a lot of satisfying which is a testimony to the goodness of her heart. However she was also no doubt impressed with his rich appearance.
