Genesis 24:26

24 So she said to him, ^a“I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.”

25 Moreover she said to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge.”

26 Then the man ^abowed down his head and worshiped the Lord.

27 And he said, ^a“Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken ^bHis mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the Lord ^cled me to the house of my master’s brethren.”

28 So the young woman ran and told her mother’s household these things.

Genesis 24:26

Bowed down his head, and worshipped - Two acts of adoration are mentioned here;

1.Bowing the head, yikkod ; and

2.Prostration upon the earth, vaiyishtaehu .

The bowing of the head was to Rebekah, to return her thanks for her kind invitation. The prostration was to Jehovah, in gratitude for the success with which he had favored him.
