Genesis 24:15
"And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And it came to pass, before he had done speaking,.... In his heart, Gen 24:45 ; for his prayer was mental; while the last words were dropping from him, that very moment,

as the Targum of Jonathan; so soon were his prayers heard and answered, Isa 65:24 , that behold Rebekah came out; out of Haran, the city of Nahor: who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; a daughter of Bethuel, which Bethuel was the eighth and last son of Milcah, and who was the daughter of Haran and the wife of Nahor, both brothers to Abraham: this is the genealogy of Rebekah, and for the sake of her is the account of Nahor's family given, Gen 22:20 , with her pitcher upon her shoulder; to fetch water from the well for the use of the family; which, though the daughter of a wealthy person, she did not disdain to do; an instance of diligence and humility this.
