“Tell the man that he has plenty of workers, he has his own servants.” They were looking at her with scorn, contempt. We learn Chumash, we don’t realize how it looked to somebody else. It was actually ֹלו זו בוָי זֹו ב. They scorned her. But she was deaf to all that. She ran back and forth, back and forth, pouring water like mad.
Now it states that Eliezer was standing mishtaeh – he was astonished; to go all out despite the fact that she was despised by the onlookers?! When he saw that, he saw she fitted in with his master’s house; a house where people were wild over serving Hashem. And not only wild about it, but willing to ignore what others might think or say.
That’s how Rivkah became the mother of the Jewish people. That’s exactly what the Torah tells us without any embellishments. She was scorned by her friends for her queer behavior, but Hakadosh Baruch Hu said, “If you’re the type of person who is willing to go all out, to serve Hashem even over the top without concern for the scorn of others, then you’re going to be chosen forever.”
