Berean Study Bible

Blessed be the LORD
The phrase begins with a declaration of praise. The Hebrew word for "blessed" is "barak," which means to kneel or to bless. This expression of worship acknowledges the LORD's sovereignty and goodness. In the context of the ancient Near East, blessing the LORD was a way to recognize His active role in the affairs of humanity, particularly in fulfilling His promises.

the God of my master Abraham
This phrase identifies the LORD as the specific deity worshiped by Abraham, distinguishing Him from the many gods of surrounding cultures. The Hebrew word for "God" here is "Elohim," a plural form that denotes majesty and power. By invoking the God of Abraham, the speaker aligns himself with the covenantal promises given to Abraham, emphasizing the continuity of God's faithfulness across generations.

who has not withheld His kindness and faithfulness
The terms "kindness" and "faithfulness" are translated from the Hebrew words "chesed" and "emet," respectively. "Chesed" refers to steadfast love or covenantal loyalty, while "emet" denotes truth or reliability. Together, they encapsulate the character of God as one who is unwaveringly loyal and true to His promises. This acknowledgment serves as a testament to God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His covenant with Abraham.

from my master
The term "master" refers to Abraham, highlighting the servant's role and his respect for Abraham's authority. In the cultural context of the time, a servant's loyalty and success were often seen as a reflection of the master's standing and relationship with God. This phrase underscores the servant's recognition of God's favor upon Abraham.

As for me, the LORD has led me
Here, the servant personalizes the experience, acknowledging divine guidance in his own journey. The Hebrew word for "led" is "nachah," which implies guidance with care and purpose. This reflects the belief that God is actively involved in the lives of His people, directing their paths according to His will.

on the journey
The word "journey" signifies more than just physical travel; it represents a divinely orchestrated mission. In the biblical narrative, journeys often symbolize spiritual growth and the unfolding of God's plan. This journey, in particular, is part of the larger narrative of God's promise to Abraham to make him a great nation.

to the house of my master’s relatives
This phrase indicates the successful completion of the servant's mission to find a wife for Isaac from among Abraham's kin. The reference to "relatives" ties back to God's promise to Abraham to bless his family line. It also highlights the importance of familial connections and the continuation of God's covenant through Abraham's descendants.
