Y SEÑOR ha bendecido mucho á mi amo, y él se ha engrandecido:  y le ha dado ovejas y vacas, plata y oro, siervos y siervas, camellos y asnos.

Tze'enah Ure'enah

“The Lord has greatly blessed my master, and has become rich: He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, and slaves” [24:35]. Eliezer behaved like a matchmaker and praised his master, how he had much cattle, silver, gold and slaves.

Tze'enah Ure'enah

Toldot Yizhak writes. Eliezer praised his master, Abraham, since the people thought, if Isaac is a fine young man and Abraham had his fortune, why did he have to send so far from his land to take a wife for his son? He could certainly have found a wife at home. The explanation is that this is why Eliezer had to speak so long. He said: my master Abraham is still very rich. Do not think that he has become impoverished. Isaac is a fine young man and not an evildoer or an idler. He was born through a miracle when Sarah was ninety years old. You can well understand that the Holy One will send a good son. Therefore, do not be afraid. Isaac is good and pious. That is why Eliezer said, “the Lord has greatly blessed my master” [24:35]. That is, do not think that the goods and camels that I am showing you belong to strangers. It is customary that often one takes money, silver and gold and displays it for the sake of a match. Therefore, he said: my master Abraham was blessed by God with this wealth and had no need to borrow. Rather, I have been sent to you because my master did not want to take a wife for his son from the daughters of the Canaanites. My master made me swear that I should not take a daughter of the Canaanites, but from his family.54Toldot Yizhak, Genesis, 24:35–37.
