Eliezer Gives Rivkah the Jewelry
Eliezer trusts that Hashem answered his prayer at the well and gives Rivkah the jewelry at once, then changes the order when telling Besuel and Lavan.
The rosh yeshiva used this same explanation to shed light on a Rashi in Chumash. Avraham Avinu charged Eliezer with a mission to find a wife for his son, Yitzchak. He directed Eliezer to find an eligible woman from Avraham’s own family. Eliezer davened to Hashem that the girl that accedes to his request for water and goes further and also gives his camels water be from the right family and otherwise appropriate for Yitzchak. As soon as he finished praying, Eliezer saw Rivkah approaching and asked her for water. She aced the test and gave him and his camels water.
Eliezer was astounded to see that Hashem had fulfilled his prayers so quickly. Rashi says that he trusted Hashem that Rivkah was indeed Yitzchak’s intended kallah and immediately gave her the jewelry designated for the chosen one. He did not even pause for a few seconds and ask her what family she was from. When he recounted these events to Besuel and Lavan, he made a slight change. He said that he first asked her what family she was from and only then gave her the jewelry upon hearing an appropriate response. He was afraid that if he told them the truth that he trusted Hashem and gave Rivkah the jewelry before even knowing who she was, they wouldn’t believe it and they would think he was a charlatan and refuse the marriage offer.
