Genesis 24:20,
What a test!
The caravan was made up of 10 camels.
According to The New Encyclopædia Britannica, an extremely thirsty camel can drink ‘25 gallons [95 L] of water in 10 minutes.’ It may be that Abraham’s camels were not that thirsty, but Rebekah undoubtedly knew the animal’s capacity for water. Certainly, it would take a very kind, unselfish, hard working woman to volunteer to fetch water for ten tired camels belonging to a stranger.
10 camels times 25 gallons equals ____ .
Rebekah was a SUPER WOMEN.
Kid.

| Interesting! I love little "Bible trivia" things like that.

Have you (or anyone) read Orson Scott Card's Women of Genisis series? Rebekah is the subject of one. I really enjoyed reading them getting a day to day feel for their lives (even if it was fictional).
