60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her: “Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands of ten thousands; And may your descendants possess the gates of those who hate them.”
61 Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.

沉思

《创世记 24：60-61》
60 他们就给利百加祝福说：“我们的妹子啊，愿你做千万人的母！愿你的后裔得着仇敌的城门！”

61 利百加和她的使女们起来，骑上骆驼，跟着那仆人，仆人就带着利百加走了。

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 给利百加的祝福

a. 这珍贵的祝福给心中带来极大的温暖
b. 这个给利百加的祝福不可被误解
i. 这个祝福不能从字面上理解
ii. 事实上，没人能做千万人的母亲
c. 那应该怎样理解这个祝福呢?
i. 利百加在生育方面将成果丰硕
ii. 这份祝福涉及到她所拥有的后裔
iii. 她的后裔将会强壮勇敢
iv. 他们会战胜所有仇敌

2. 与利百加一同上路的人

a. 她的乳母会陪伴着她
b. 她的使女也与她随行，并照顾她的需要
c. 她们会和总管家及跟从他的人一起走上旷野之旅回迦南去
亚伯拉罕交托给总管家的任务大大地蒙福。可说是极为成功。
