What does Genesis 24:47 mean?

Abraham's servant now describes the final bit of information he learned from Rebekah during their encounter at the spring earlier that day. This in the information that fully convinced him God had led him straight to Rebekah as the woman meant to marry Isaac.

The servant had asked Rebekah who her father was. She answered with names the servant knew: Her father was Bethuel, the son of Nahor and Milcah. The servant could not have found any closer relatives to Abraham than these.

Interestingly, the servant describes giving Rebekah the gift of the nose ring and bracelets after asking who her father was (Genesis 24:22–24). Perhaps he simply mixed up the order or perhaps he felt that Rebekah's father and brother would feel the gifts would have been more appropriately given after knowing what family Rebekah was from. As in other instances, Scripture faithfully records the truth of what certain people said or did, without necessarily claiming those words are accurate.
