Rebekah, Maiden of the Spring

Rebekah is portrayed in a close, reverent portrait, her steady gaze framed by a simple head covering and pale garment. The composition focuses on the young woman named in Genesis 24:16, where Scripture describes her as a maiden of striking appearance who went down to the spring and filled her jar. Though the spring and water jar are not shown, her attentive expression evokes the moment before her encounter with Abraham’s servant, a meeting that would lead to her becoming the wife of Isaac and part of the covenant family of Israel. The image emphasizes dignity, purity, and readiness, reflecting the biblical theme of divine providence working through ordinary obedience. Suitable for teaching on Genesis, biblical women, marriage covenant, hospitality, and God’s guidance in family lineage.
