Genesis 24:59

Genesis 24:59. Her nurse— Whose name (we learn, ch. Genesis 35:8.) was Deborah. She was the principal female attendant upon Rebekah, but not the only one, see Gen 24:61 as Eliezer was the principal, but not the only servant from Abraham; Abraham's servant and his men. Nurses, in ancient times, were generally the attendants upon young ladies, and frequently their great favourites. This Deborah, as she is mentioned again, was most probably a woman of much worth and esteem in the family.
