Genesis 24:57 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Call the damsel, and inquire As children ought not to marry without their parents' consent, so parents ought not to marry them without their own. Before the matter is resolved on, ask at the damsel's mouth; she is a party concerned, and therefore ought to be principally consulted.

Genesis 24:57

57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
