창세기 24:22의 미드라쉬

There was an incident in which Rabbi Yehoshua was walking along the path.⁴⁹This was a path through a field that was created by people traversing it. A certain person found him walking along the path and said to him: ‘What are you doing?’ He said to him: ‘I am walking along the path.’ He said to him: ‘You have spoken well that you are walking along a path, for it was trodden by robbers like you.’ He went on from there and found a certain child sitting at a fork in the road. He said to him: ‘Which road is closer to the city?’ He said to him: ‘This one is close but far, and that one is far but close.’ Rabbi Yehoshua went on the one that was close but far. When he reached the city, he found gardens and orchards surrounding the wall. He returned to that child and said to him: ‘My son, is this road, in fact, closer to the city?’ He said to him: ‘You are a Sage of Israel! Did I not say to you that this one is close but far and that one is far but close?’ At that moment, Rabbi Yehoshua said: ‘Happy are you Israel that you are all wise, from your old to your young.’⁵⁰Rabbi Yehoshua admitted that he was bested by the man in the field and by the boy, and he praised the Jewish people for their great wisdom.
He went on from there and found a certain child with a covered vessel in his hand. He said to him: ‘What do you have in your hand, covered within this vessel?’ He said: ‘Had my mother wanted you to know what I have with me, she would have not told me to cover it.’ He went on from there and found a certain child and said to him: ‘What is the quality of the water of this city?’ He said to him: ‘Why do you care? The garlic and the onions are plentiful.’ When he entered the city, he found a girl standing and filling [her pitcher] from the spring. He said to her: ‘Give me water to drink.’ She said to him: ‘To you and to your donkey.’ After he drank and turned to go, he said to her: ‘My daughter, you have acted like Rebecca.’ She said to him: ‘I have acted like Rebecca, but you have not acted like Eliezer.’⁵¹After Rebecca drew water for the servant of Abraham (identified by the Sages as Eliezer), and for his camels, he gave her jewelry (Genesis 24:22).
It is taught: One leaves a portion from food cooked in a pot, but one does not leave a portion from food cooked in a stew pot.⁵²A similar statement in Eruvin 53 reads: “One does not leave a portion from the pot but one leaves a portion from the plate.” Rashi explains that the waiter was expected to serve all the food that was cooked, but participants at the meal were expected to leave over some of the food that was served. These leftovers would be eaten by the waiter. There was an incident where Rabbi Yehoshua was hosted by a widowed woman. The first day she brought him a cooked item and he ate it and did not leave a portion for her. The second day she brought him a cooked item and he ate it and did not leave a portion for her. On the third day, she oversalted a cooked dish of pounded grain. After Rabbi Yehoshua tasted it, he withdrew his hand from it. She said to him: ‘Rabbi, why did you withdraw your hand from this pounded grain?’ He said to her: ‘I already ate earlier in the day.’ She said to him: ‘If you ate earlier in the day, why did you not mimimize the bread, just as you minimized this pounded grain? Perhaps you left a portion. From the two cooked items that you ate, why did you not leave a portion like you did from this pounded grain?’ At that moment, Rabbi Yehoshua said: ‘In all my days, no person has ever gotten the best of me except for this widow, a young girl, and those children, to realize what is stated: “Great among the nations,” great in intellect.

..."And the servant ran towards her" (Genesis 24:17) - towards her good deeds. "And he said 'Please, let me sip a little water from your jar.'” - just one sip. "And the man stood gazing at her"(Genesis 24:21) - Rabbi Yochanan from Tzipporin said: blinking and looking at her. "He took" - Rav Huna in the name of Rabbi Yosef said: he had a precious stone with him, and it weighted a beka [beka = half a shekel or 6 grams]. "Two gold bands for her arms" (Genesis 24:22) - representing the two tablets. "Ten in weight" - representing the Ten Sayings. "He said: Whose daughter are you? Please tell me [nah li] (Genesis 24:24) - one single night [linah]. "She replied, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor... also room to spend a night.” (Genesis 24:25) - many nights. The man bowed, and prostrated to the LORD (Genesis 24:26) - from here [we learn] that we give thanks for good news. - “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld His steadfast faithfulness”- from your easing the way for me I knew. "From You setting me on the way to the house of the brothers of my master." (Genesis 24:27)
