gen 24:42And I came this day unto the well,.... Hither he was come at length by several days' journey; not on the same day he came from Abraham, as the Jewish writers say (n), by means of a miracle:
and said, O Lord God of my master Abraham; being come to the well, he prayed as follows:
if now thou do prosper the way which I go; his meaning is, that if it was the pleasure of God that he should succeed in what he was come about, that he would let him know it by a token; and in Gen 24:42 he relates the token he desired, which was granted him, and his success, as before recorded, from Gen 24:21.
