Gen 24:47 | CPDV | STEP | And I questioned her, saying, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she responded, ‘I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ And so, I hung the earrings on her, to adorn her face, and I put the bracelets on her hands.

Genesis 24:47

47 And I questioned her, saying, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she responded, ‘I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ And so, I hung the earrings on her, to adorn her face, and I put the bracelets on her hands. ^{▼▼24:47God gives us this same story twice, the second time in the servant’s recount of the events. Now both accounts are infallible Sacred Scripture, yet they differ somewhat in the wording of the quotations and in the words used to describe the events. This passage teaches us that quotations are not exact word-for-word recounts of what was said, but are a way of describing events and the attitudes of different persons.(Conte)}
