Key Reflection
In Genesis 24:12, Abraham’s servant waits for a sign from God as he seeks a wife for Isaac. The timing and location are significant; the camels kneel down at the well of water during evening hours, a time when women typically go out to draw water. This cultural detail underscores the servant's dependence on divine providence, as he adheres to local custom while waiting for God’s intervention.
