וָאֶשְׁאַ֣ל אֹתָ֗הּ וָאֹמַר֮ בַּת־מִ֣י אַתְּ֒ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר בַּת־בְּתוּאֵל֙ בֶּן־נָח֔וֹר אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָֽלְדָה־לּ֖וֹ מִלְכָּ֑ה וָאָשִׂ֤ם הַנֶּ֙זֶם֙ עַל־אַפָּ֔הּ וְהַצְּמִידִ֖ים עַל־יָדֶֽיהָ׃
Lalu aku bertanya kepadanya, ‘Anak siapakah engkau?’ Jawabnya, ‘Aku anak perempuan Betuel, putra Nahor, yang dilahirkan Milka baginya.’ Kemudian aku mengenakan cincin hidung itu pada hidungnya dan gelang-gelang itu pada tangannya.
Rashi
ואשאל...ואשם AND I ASKED HER ... AND I PUT THE RING —He changed the order of proceedings for in fact he had first given the presents and afterwards questioned her. But he did this in order that they should not catch him by his own words and say, "How could you give her anything when you did not yet know who she was!"
Or HaChaim
ואשאל אותה…ואשים הנזם על אפה. "I asked her….and put the ring on her nose." He changed the sequence of events in his report so that Laban and his father in their craftiness should not be able to claim these trinkets as belonging to Bethuel since Rebeccah had obtained them as reward for services rendered. If, however, Rebeccah had obtained the jewelry only after she had identified herself as the daughter of Bethuel, it was clear that they were meant to effect the betrothal between her and Isaac, her father not being able to claim them as belonging to him.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“I inquired of her, whose daughter are you … and I put the ring on her nose” [24:47]. Eliezer told everything that he did on that day. Also, how he traveled for three hours and came from Hebron. This was a seventeen-day journey, as the verse says, “I came today” [24:42]. This means, I left today and today I came to the well.58Rashi, Genesis, 24:42. I asked Rebecca, whose daughter are you? Later, I gave her the presents.
