/// Before Abraham’s man, Eliezer,
met Rebecca he planned to appraise her.
He had come to the well
where his master’s kin dwell,
and he focused on her like a laser.
/// Eliezer had been tasked to find
a young woman, hard-working and kind.
If she passed every test
and exceeded the rest,
she, with Isaac, in wedlock would bind.
/// ‘Becca offered him water to drink.
All his camels, too, quick as a wink.
Eliezer then knew
she’s the bride-to-be who,
with the Matriarchs would be in synch.
/// So by slaking this traveler’s thirst,
young Rebecca was soon reimbursed
with a golden nose-ring
and the promise he’d bring
her to Canaan to be Isaac’s first.
