בראשית, פרק כ״ד, פסוק מ״ו

When recounting the events at the well to Rebekah’s family, Eliezer makes slight adjustments to his story compared to what actually took place. These subtle changes reflect his careful attention to the social dynamics of the room and the reality of the situation.

In his retelling of their conversation, Eliezer mentions that Rebekah offered him a drink, but he intentionally leaves out the fact that she originally addressed him as her lord. He omits this title out of basic politeness and respect for the family members listening to his account [רבנו בחיי].

Another adjustment appears in how he describes her offer to care for his animals. During their initial meeting, Rebekah promised only to draw water for the camels, since at that moment it was uncertain whether the animals would actually drink. However, as Eliezer tells the story to her family, the action has already been completed and the camels have fully quenched their thirst. Therefore, he adapts his account to reflect the final outcome, explaining that she provided drink for the animals rather than merely drawing the water for them [ביאור יש״ר].
