And I came this day unto the well, etc.] Hither he was come at length by several days’ journey; not on the same day he came from Abraham, as the Jewish writers say f1331, by means of a miracle: and said, O Lord God of my master Abraham; being come to the well, he prayed as follows: if now thou do prosper the way which I go; his meaning is, that if it was the pleasure of God that he should succeed in what he was come about, that he would let him know it by a token; and in (<012442>Genesis 24:42-48) he relates the token he desired, which was granted him, and his success, as before recorded, from (<012421>Genesis 24:21-27).
