"And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes,.... And looked about: and when she saw Isaac; whom she suspected him to be, and therefore inquired of the servant, who told her who
he was: she lighted off the camel; or "fell" (w) from it, not accidentally, or through surprise, but willingly, and in honour to Isaac, as was customary; for had she sat on her camel when she met him, it would not have seemed respectful enough to him; though Jarchi thinks she did not get off, but only bowed herself upon the camel, when she came near him. (w) "et cecidit", Montanus, Drusius.
