[QUOTE="Iconodule, post: 10930646, member: 91417"]Abraham sent his servant to find a bride for his son Isaac. The servant asked God to give him a sign, when he asked the right young woman at the well for drink, she would also offer to draw water for his camels. (Obviously, a woman who was kind to animals would be a loving and virtuous wife.) It is a bit blurry in the photo. I assume those are camels just behind the well. Otherwise, the artist missed the whole point on how to identify the right maiden. Going to the work of drawing enough water for ten camels (Genesis 24:10) is the identifying factor. Genesis 24: 14-19 (Full story Genesis 24) [URL]https://latinvulgate.com/verse.aspx?t=0&b=1&c=24[/URL] "Now, therefore, the maid to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher that I may drink: and she shall answer, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let it be the same whom thou hast provided for thy servant Isaac: and by this, I shall understand that thou hast shewn kindness to my master. He had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder: An exceeding comely maid, and a most beautiful virgin, and not known to man: and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher, and was coming back. And the servant ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher. And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink. And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink. And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water; and having drawn, she gave to all the camels."[/QUOTE]
