south.
Gen. 12:9• 9And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south. (Gen. 12:9)
• In all these events Isaac had taken no active part, nor had he left the land of Canaan. All was left in the hands of the servant. Nevertheless, Isaac was far from indifferent to the mission of the servant and the coming of the bride. At evening Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi to meet the bride. The significant meaning of the well is said to be “the well of Him that liveth and seeth.” If this is so, it would suggest the undoubted truth that all through our wilderness journey we are under the eye of One who lives and sees. As the Apostle says, “He is able also to save them to the uttermost...seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them” (Heb. 7:25). (“The Call of Rebekah: Genesis 24:1-27” by H. Smith)
