What does Genesis 24:32 mean?

Abraham's servant has recently discovered Rebekah, who seems to be the answer to his prayer (Genesis 24:12–19). That request was for God to show him the exact woman he ought to bring home as a wife for Abraham's son, Isaac (Genesis 24: 3–4).

After being warmly invited to stay at their household by Laban, Rebekah's brother, Abraham's servant arrives with his company of camels and servants. The passage provides some historical perspective on what that would look like. The camels would be unharnessed and provided food. All of the men are given the opportunity to wash their feet, which would have been quite filthy from a journey across the open country.

Though mere servants of a wealthy master, all of the men and animals in the company are treated properly, with respect and hospitality.
