Genesis 24:15

Rebekah Here described as the daughter of Bethuel, as in Genesis 24:24; Genesis 24:47; cf. Genesis 22:20-24; Genesis 25:20; Genesis 28:2. The absence, however, of any mention of Bethuel except in Genesis 24:50, and the mention of Rebekah's mother and her brother Laban as the representatives of the house (Genesis 24:28; Genesis 24:55), have led to the conjecture, that Bethuel was dead, and that his name in Genesis 24:50 is due to a gloss or a textual error.

her pitcher upon her shoulder Cf. Genesis 21:14; Exodus 12:34; Joshua 4:5. Everything turned upon the girl having a pitcher: hence the mention of this detail.
