[132] ὥσπερ ὀϊστοὺς ἀφίησι. 39 Ῥεβέκκα δ’ οὐκέτι προκοπαῖς ἀλλὰ τελειότητι ποτίζουσα τὸν μαθητὴν εὑρίσκεται. πῶς δέ, αὐτὸς διδάξει ὁ νόμος. „ἡ γὰρ παρθένος“ φησίν „ἦν καλὴ τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα, παρθένος ἦν, ἀνὴρ οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτήν. καταβᾶσα δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν ἔπλησε τὴν
ὑδρίαν καὶ ἀνέβη. προσέδραμε δὲ ὁ παῖς εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῇ καὶ εἶπε· πότισόν με δὴ μικρὸν ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς ὑδρίας σου. ἡ δὲ εἶπε· πίε, κύριε. καὶ σπεύσασα καθεῖλε τὴν ὑδρίαν ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονα αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπότισεν ¹ αὐτόν, ἕως ἐπαύσατο πίνων· p. 251 M. καὶ εἶπε· καὶ ταῖς καμήλοις σου ὑδρεύσομαι, ἕως ἂν πᾶσαι πίωσι. καὶ σπεύσασα ἐξεκένωσε τὴν ὑδρίαν εἰς τὸ ποτιστήριον, καὶ δραμοῦσα ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ ὑδρεύσατο ταῖς καμήλοις“ (Gen. 24,16 — 20).

But Rebekkah is found to give her pupil drink no longer by improvement, but by perfection. How so the law will tell us: "For the damsel," says Moses, "was very beautiful to the sight, and was a maiden; no man had known her. And when she had gone down to the fountain, she filled her pitcher, and came up again; and the servant ran forward to meet her, and said, Give me now to drink a little water from thy pitcher. And she said, Drink, my lord. And she made haste, and took down the pitcher on her arm, and gave to him to drink until he ceased drinking, And said, and I will also give to thy camels to drink, until they have all drunk; and she made haste, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and running to the well, she drew water for the camels." ¹
