Chasidut sur La Genèse 24:33
ויישם [וַיּוּשַׂ֤ם] לְפָנָיו֙ לֶאֱכֹ֔ל וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לֹ֣א אֹכַ֔ל עַ֥ד אִם־דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי דְּבָרָ֑י וַיֹּ֖אמֶר דַּבֵּֽר׃
On lui servit à manger; mais il dit: "Je ne mangerai point, que je n’aie dit ce que j’ai à dire." On lui répondit: "Parle."
Kedushat Levi
Genesis 24,33. “I will not eat until after I have said what I have come here to say.” Eliezer betrothed Rivkah in his capacity as Yitzchok’s representative. It is a rule that on the day of his wedding, the groom is not allowed to eat until after he has wed the bride. [Nowadays both groom and bride fast until after the ceremony. Ed.]
