Cross-References
Abraham was now very old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.
Abraham said to him, "No! Don't take my son back there.
The Lord , the God of heaven, brought me from the home of my father and the land of my relatives. And he promised me, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.' The Lord will send his angel before you to help you get a wife for my son there.
The servant said, " Lord , God of my master Abraham, allow me to find a wife for his son today. Please show this kindness to my master Abraham.
Rebekah said, "Drink, sir." She quickly lowered the jar from her shoulder and gave him a drink.
So she quickly poured all the water from her jar into the drinking trough for the camels. Then she kept running to the well until she had given all the camels enough to drink.
But the servant said to them, "Do not make me wait, because the Lord has made my trip successful. Now let me go back to my master."
Thank the Lord because he is good. His love continues forever.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love and for the miracles he does for people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard,.... Which was done much about the same time that the olives were gathered, and both after wheat harvest, about the latter end of June, or beginning of July; for they were more forward in those hot countries:
thou shall not glean [it] afterwards; go over the vines a second time, to pick off every berry or bunch that escaped them at first gathering:
it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow; as the forgotten sheaf, and the olive berries left; these are all supposed to be poor persons, otherwise no doubt there were strangers, and fatherless persons, and widows, in good circumstances; who, as they needed not, so neither would give themselves the trouble, but think it beneath them to go into fields, oliveyards, and vineyards, to gather what was left by the owners. These laws were made in favour of the poor, that mercy and kindness might be showed to them, and that they might have a taste of all the fruits of the earth.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare the marginal references. The motive assigned for these various acts of consideration is one and the same Deuteronomy 24:18, Deuteronomy 24:22.
