God sovereignly worked behind the scenes to accomplish his will through the circumstances of those acting responsibly in faith. 24:10-27 The servant obeyed his master’s instructions and trusted God to lead him to the right woman. 24:10 Aram-naharaim (“Aram of the two rivers”) was also called Paddan-aram (“the field of Aram,” cp. 25:20). It was a two-week journey in each direction, so the servant had ten . . . camels for provisions and gifts (24:22, 53).
