What does Genesis 24:44 mean?

Abraham's servant is in the middle of describing to Rebekah and her family what he prayed when he arrived at the spring outside their city earlier that day. He had asked his master's God to allow him to know the woman appointed to marry Abraham's son, Isaac, by her response to his request for a drink of water (Genesis 24:12–14).

Now he reveals what response he had asked God to use as a sign to him that he had found the woman. She would offer to draw water for his camels, as well, without being asked (Genesis 24:15–19).

Rebekah would now have understood clearly where the servant's story was headed. Her father and brother likely began to understand, as well. The servant is in the process of asking Rebekah to come back to Canaan with him, so that she can marry Abraham's son, Isaac.
