3075. Verses 15-16 And so it was, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, the son of Milkah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; and her pitcher was on her shoulder. And the girl was very good looking, a virgin, and no man had known her. And she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher, and went up.

'And so it was, before he had finished speaking' means the realization of what he willed. 'That behold, Rebekah came out' means the affection for truth coming from matters of doctrine. 'Who was born to Bethuel, the son of Milkah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother' means the whole origin of that affection. 'And her pitcher was on her shoulder' means vessels that receive truth, and a total effort to uphold that truth. 'And the girl was very good looking' means the beauty of the affection for truth. 'A virgin, and no man had known her' means pure from everything false. 'And she went down to the spring' means Divine truth. 'And filled her pitcher' means vessels for receiving. 'And went up' means a raising up.

In the Bible, things that are lower down, or under, physically, generally represent things that are lower or more external spiritually. In some cases, the lower things have been separated and put away to protect the good, but in others, it can mean that a less exalted idea or good desire is supporting a more exalted one.
