John Trapp Complete Commentary

Genesis 24:58

And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

Ver. 58. I will go.] Christ's Hephzibah is no less willing to go with him: he toucheth her heart, and maketh her so. Isa 56:6 He commanded his lovingkindness; Psa 42:8 q.d., Go, Mercy, and seize on them; go, Lovingkindness, and make them take you. Hence it is, that they are a freehearted people; Psa 110:3 they wait for his law; Isa 42:4 they love to be his people. Isa 56:6 The Macedonians were Aυθαιρεστοι volunteers; 2Co 8:3 they had their own free choice.
