And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. ²And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: ³And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: ⁴But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. (KJV)

Genesis 24:5-9
And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest? ⁶And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again. ⁷The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. ⁸And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again. ⁹And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter. (KJV)

Genesis 24:12-14
And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. ¹³Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: ¹⁴And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

Rebekah = Ribqah {Rib-kaw'}
= "ensnarer," found 30 times. Probably from an unused root meaning "to clog by tying up the fetlock." (a fetlock is the tufted cushion-like projection on the back side of the leg above the hoof of the horse and similar animals; the tuft of hair or the joint at this point). Remember that Rebekah was caring for the camels.

wondering = sha'ah {shaw-aw'}
= this verb occurs only here!
It is in the Hithpael (= to gaze) stem = (himself ) & the Participle mood = (an unbroken action in its continuity); From a root through the idea of whirling to giddiness;

very fair = m@'od {mah-ode'}
= exceedingly; greatly; in abundance(as to degree); & towb {tobe} = beautiful, pleasant(agreeable to the senses), valuable in estimation.

to look upon = mar'eh {mar-eh'}
=appearance; sight; vision; well favored.

virgin = b@thuwlah {beth-oo-law'}
= virgin; maid; maiden; imp. = a young (marriageable) maiden; In Isaiah 7:14:
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

= virgin; maid. (Isa. 7:14) (Hebrew)

virgin (Greek) = parthenos: (Mat. 1:23)
= a quotation of Isa. 7:14 in Greek.

virgin = parthenos {par-then'-os}
= virgin; a woman who has never had sexual intercourse with a man; (or) = a man who has never had intercourse with women. The LXX (Greek translation of the Hebrew O.T.) translates the Hebrew word, 'almah {al-maw'} in Isa. 7:14, to read "parthenos" in Matthew 1:22-23 which is a fulfilled prophecy of Isa. 7:14. There is NO instance where it can be proved that this Hebrew word designates a young woman who is not a virgin. (= pure; untouched)
In the Sumerian or Akkadian language, this condition of a woman is expressed in these terms = "who is not deflowered." In Gen. 24:16, The Holy Spirit makes clear what the meaning of this Hebrew word, "b@thuwlah" is when He says, "a virgin, neither had any man known her;"

Genesis 24:29-31
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well. ³⁰And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well. ³¹And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels. (KJV)

1. Rebekah & Laban are the children of Bethuel who was the son of Abraham's brother, Nahor. Therefore, they were the close kindred of Abraham.

Genesis 24:50-51
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. ⁵¹Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken. (KJV)

1. Abraham's servant worships Jehovah for His answered prayer, Each of us should do the same as The LORD answers our prayers! Remember the ten leper being healed. Only one returned to give thanks. (Luke 17:11-19)

⁵⁴And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master. (KJV)

2. a few = added by the translators, not in the Hebrew text.
        
3. at least = 'ow {o}
   = a short form of 'avvah {av-vaw'}
   = desire or pleasure & means "rather," implying that the latter choice is preferred.
        
4. ten = 'asowr {aw-sore'}
   = from 'eser {eh'-ser}
   = ten & ten with other numbers. It is defined here as a full year or ten months. It probably reads to let his Rebekah continue to dwell there at home for an extended period of time indicated by the use of "ten" (10 days, yea, ten months).
        
5. The servant is not willing to these terms; he is ready to get his responsibility done.

Genesis 24:56

And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself. ⁶⁶And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. ⁶⁷And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death. (KJV)

meditate = suwach {soo'-akh}
= muse, commune, speak, complain;
It is in the Qal Stem (a simple or casual action-active voice) & the Imperfect mood which expresses an action, process, or condition which is incomplete; it adds color & movement to it.
The TWOT states: "The basic meaning of this verb seems to be 'rehearse,' 'repent,' or 'go over a matter in one's mind.'
