창세기 24:43의 Musar
הִנֵּ֛ה אָנֹכִ֥י נִצָּ֖ב עַל־עֵ֣ין הַמָּ֑יִם וְהָיָ֤ה הָֽעַלְמָה֙ הַיֹּצֵ֣את לִשְׁאֹ֔ב וְאָמַרְתִּ֣י אֵלֶ֔יהָ הַשְׁקִֽינִי־נָ֥א מְעַט־מַ֖יִם מִכַּדֵּֽךְ׃
내가 이 우물 곁에 섰다가 청년 여자가 물을 길러 오거든 내가 그에게 청하기를 너는 물 항아리의 물을 내게 조금 마시우라 하여
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
When Eliezer related the events at the well, he did not refer to Rebeccah as נערה, but as עלמה. We find that the Torah usually spells the word נער as if it were masculine, even where the Torah clearly refers to a נערה, a girl. The former spelling is an allusion to Mattaron who is called נער as we pointed out on page 147. Pardes Rimonim explains the meaning of נער in detail in the chapter dealing with כנוים.
