Genesis 24:19When she had done giving him drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have done drinking."
The setting
The same well, moments later. The servant has drunk, but now Rebekah notices his 10 thirsty camels - each needing 20-30 gallons after a long desert journey...
The emotion here: breathless excitement at seeing the sign unfold perfectly
The original word
gāmal (גמל) — camel, but symbolically represents enormous, overwhelming need
Why it matters
One camel drinks 20-30 gallons after a journey - she's offering to haul 200-300 gallons
Read with care
What most readers miss in Genesis 24:19
This wasn't politeness - this was backbreaking labor she volunteered for
Common misconceptionPeople think she was just being polite, but she just volunteered for 2-3 hours of exhausting physical labor for a complete stranger - this was the servant's exact test for finding Isaac's wife.
