Meanwhile, the man watched her silently The phrase begins with "Meanwhile," indicating a pause or a moment of observation amidst ongoing events. The "man" here refers to Abraham's servant, traditionally understood to be Eliezer. His "watching" is not merely passive but is filled with anticipation and discernment. The Hebrew root for "watched" (שָׁאָה, sha'ah) implies a deep, attentive gaze, suggesting that Eliezer is carefully considering the unfolding of God's providence. His "silently" watching reflects a posture of humility and patience, virtues highly esteemed in the biblical narrative. This silence can be seen as a form of prayerful waiting, a moment of inner reflection and trust in God's timing. to see whether or not the LORD had made his journey a success Parallel Commentaries ...
