Bible Question: How many maid servants accompanied Rebekah to the house of Abraham? Just her nurse (V59) or there were more (V61)? Or does V61 mean that those maids arose only to serve Rebekah mount onto the camel, but they did not go with Rebkah except the nurse?

Thanks for your help.

Bible Answer: Back in the day a servant could have servants under him. It doesn’t say Abraham’s servant was by himself. So it might be possible that the nurse had nurses under her and wherever she went her nurses under her went with her. It was understood as such. If you hire a business owner to do something like fix your car or remodel your home, those who are under him or in his employ also come with his services.
