Genesis 24:34
“I am Abraham’s servant,” he replied.
BSB
ASV
And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
KJV
And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
But when he has the desired success, he worships God, not the angel. Whatever benefit we have by the ministration of angels, all the glory must be given to the Lord of the angels, Rev. xxii.
He was welcome before, but we may suppose him doubly welcome when he said, I am Abraham's servant. Abraham's name, no doubt, was well known among them and respected, and we might suppose them not altogether ignorant of his state, for Abraham knew theirs, ch. xxii.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
