What does Genesis 24:20 mean?

Rebekah's urgency here reveals something beautiful about her character. When Abraham's servant asked for a drink, she didn't just help him, but went far beyond what he requested, drawing water repeatedly until all ten camels were satisfied, an exhausting task. Her quick, enthusiastic response without complaint or negotiation shows a generosity of spirit that catches the servant's attention, and he begins to realize she might be exactly who God has led him to find. In that moment, Rebekah's actions speak louder than words about the kind of person she is.
