MEDITATION

Genesis 24:22-25

22 So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold,
23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge?”
24 So she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.”
25 Moreover she said to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge.”

沉思

《创世记 24：22-25》
22 骆驼喝足了，那人就拿一个金环，重半舍客勒，两个金镯，重十舍客勒，给了那女子，
23 说：“请告诉我，你是谁的女儿？你父亲家里有我们住宿的地方没有？”
24 女子说：“我是密迦与拿鹤之子彼土利的女儿。”

25 又说：“我们家里足有粮草，也有住宿的地方。”

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 总管家送给利百加的礼物

a. 为十只口渴的骆驼抽水的工作得到承认
b. 他送了她一份意义重大的礼物

2. 客气的问题

a. 她清楚地告知自己的身份
i. 她的父亲是彼土利、密迦的儿子
