kjv@Genesis:24:7@ The [Lord][God] of [Heaven], which took me from my father's [House], and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his [Angel] before thee, and thou shalt take a [Wife] unto my [Son] from thence.

kjv@Genesis:24:10@ And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to [Mesopotamia], unto the [City] of [Nahor].
kjv@Genesis:24:14@ And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy [Pitcher], I pray thee, that I may [Drink]; and she shall say, [Drink], and I will give thy camels [Drink] also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant [Isaac]; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
kjv@Genesis:24:22@ And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the [Man] took a [Golden] earring of half a [Shekel] weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of [Gold];

kjv@Genesis:24:32@ And the [Man] came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave [Straw] and provender for the camels, and [Water] to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
kjv@Genesis:24:33@ And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told [Mine] errand. And he said, Speak [On].

kjv@Genesis:24:63@ And [Isaac] went out to meditate in the [Field] at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were [Coming].
kjv@Genesis:24:65@ For she had said unto the servant, What [Man] is this that walketh in the [Field] to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
The angel had prepared the servants way to prosper at this task. The blood line was to remain pure. I take it (way) to mean that he prepared Rebekah and her family's heart. The servant put a test before the angel so that he would know when he found the right woman. I have known people to put other tests out in their own prayers and dealings; I think that we need to be careful. Remember that Isaac was to become the continuation of the covenant with Abraham, this wife was to birth a great many seeds of the covenant. There is a righteousness there that may not be there if we place a similar test on which job shall we take or what city. Often our tests favor preconceived notions of what we would most like the answer to be and the situations leading to them born out of our dissatisfaction or restlessness. I am not saying that tests such as these are not good in certain cases, I am saying one must truly search out their intentions and honesty before making demands upon the righteous will of God.
