Rebecca and Eliezer:
Rebecca receiving from Eliezer the gifts offered by Abraham. Abraham sends his servant Eliezer to find a companion for Isaac in distant Mesopotamia, among the members of his own relatives.
He swears that he will not bring a Canaanite woman back to Isaac.Upon his arrival in the city, Eliezer leads his ten camels to a well. "He had not yet finished speaking, and there came out Rebecca, who had been born to Bethuel, the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, and she had her jar on her shoulder." Prefiguring The Annunciation, the biblical subject is taken from Genesis (24, 15-20): charged by Abraham to find a wife for his son Isaac, Eliezer will recognize her when, having arrived near a well, Rebecca will give him something to drink.
