Genesis 24:53

Jewels of silver, and jewels of gold - The word keley , which we here translate jewels signifies properly vessels or instruments; and those presented by Eliezer might have been of various kinds. What he had given before, Genesis 24:22, was in token of respect, what he gave now appears to have been in the way of dowry.

Precious things - migdanoth . This word is used to express exquisite fruits or delicacies, Deuteronomy 33:13-16; precious plants or flowers, Song of Songs 4:16; Song of Songs 7:13. But it may mean gifts in general, though rather of an inferior kind to those mentioned above.
