Origen of Alexandria

HOMILIES ON GENESIS 10.5 (253)

Rebekah followed the servant and comes to Isaac. The church followed the prophetic word, to be sure, and comes to Christ. Where does she find him? "Walking," the text says, "at the well of the oath." On no occasion is one withdrawn from wells; on no occasion does one stand apart from waters. Rebekah is found "at a well." Rebekah in turn finds Isaac "at a well." There she gazed upon his countenance for the first time. There "she dismounted from the camels."

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
