"He kept observing her closely," the text goes on, "and remained silent so as to know if the Lord had made his journey successful or not." What is the meaning of "kept observing her closely"? He kept studying the maiden's very words, her gaze, her walk…”

19And she said, I will also draw water for thy camels, till they shall all have drunk.
20And she hastened, and emptied the waterpot into the trough, and ran to the well to draw again, and drew water for all the camels.
— Genesis 24:21 —
22And it came to pass when all the camels ceased drinking, that the man took golden earrings, each of a drachma weight, and he put two bracelets on her hands, their weight was ten pieces of gold.
23And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with thy father.
