Context of Genesis 24:25

23The servant gave them to Rebekah and he asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there a room in your father's house for me and my men to sleep there tonight?’ 24Rebekah replied ‘I am the daughter of Bethuel. Nahor is his father, and Milcah is his mother. We have plenty of grass and food for the camels. And there is a room for you to stay with us for the night.’ 26Then the man turned his face towards the ground. He worshipped the Lord. 27He said, ‘I praise the Lord who is the God of my master, Abraham. He has been very kind to my master. He has done what he promised to do for him. The Lord has been kind to me too. He has led me here to the house of my master's family.’
