"And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And they sent away Rebekah their sister,.... Not in a pet or angry humour, but with good will; they agreed she should go, and took their leave in a very
honourable and affectionate manner. This is to be understood of her brother Laban, and of other brethren and sisters she might have; though by the connection of the words with the preceding, they seem to design her brother and mother, who spoke last; and probably all her relations are meant, who call her their sister, because so nearly related to them: and her nurse: who had been her nurse in former times, as Aben Ezra observes, in her infancy, for whom she had a particular affection, as is often the case; her name was Deborah, as appears from Gen 35:8 , and Abraham's servant, and his men; who were dismissed in an handsome manner by the family.
