Definition: And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

Explanation: Okay, let’s break down this verse! It’s a really beautiful and touching moment from Genesis 24. Here's what it means in simpler terms: The Basic Story: God told Jacob (later Abraham) to bring his son Isaac to Egypt. Jacob was worried about Isaac because he was still young and needed to be cared for. So, he sent his servant, Rebekah, to find him. What happened next? Rebekah saw Isaac for the first time. She was immediately captivated by his beauty and kind face! She lifted her eyes up – it’s a metaphor for being filled with awe and admiration – and she shone (literally, brightly) – she lit up like a lantern! Why did she do that? She was so impressed by Isaac's appearance that she felt a strong desire to bring him home. She wanted to take him back to her family in Shechem, which was near her own land. So, it’s a story about: Love and admiration: Rebekah was deeply drawn to Isaac. A desire for connection: She wasn't just looking at him; she was wanting to be close to him. Showing affection: Her bright expression is a way of expressing her love and care for him. It’s a reminder of God’s love and the power of human emotion. --- Do you want me to explain any part of this verse in more detail, or perhaps talk about its significance within the larger story of Genesis? For example, we could explore: The symbolism behind "lighting off the camel" (it represents a journey and bringing Isaac home). How this moment shows God's care for his family.
