This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_24:25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
Ver. 25. She said moreover unto him, &c.] It ia well observed by an interpreter, {a} that in the narration of this story (which yet seemeth to be of light and trivial matters) the Spirit of God is very exact and large; whereas other things wherein great mysteries are infolded (as the history of Melchizedek, &c.), are set down in few words; that men might consider God’s wisdom and providence in things of least esteem among men. I add, that all may see what delight he takes in the meanest actions and speeches of his dearest children; when the great acts and exploits of Nimrod, Ninus, and other nobles of the world are not once mentioned, but lie shrouded in the sheet of oblivion or shame.
{a} Ainsworth.
