24 Sie sprach zu ihm: Ich bin Bethuels Tochter, des Sohnes Milkas, den sie dem Nahor geboren hat.

3106. 'To go on her hands' means the power of the affection for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the hand' as power, dealt with in 878, 3091, and from the representation of 'Rebekah', to whom 'her' refers here, as the affection for truth, dealt with in 2865, 3077.

Genesis 24:14

Study

       

14 Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, 'Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,' and she will say, 'drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,'--let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
