Gen 24:42-67 Chiastic Structure
The B pair: In 1B, the servant gave gifts to the bride. When we realize that the servant is a prophetic picture of the Holy Spirit, we understand that the gifts He has given to the Bride of Messiah, are her engagement gifts! When she accepts them and wears them, she is declaring she has accepted her Master’s Son as her Betrothed Husband, until the day she becomes His wife in deed as well as in name.
In 2B, the servant gave the gift of his bride to Isaac. That is how the pair relates. The Torah is teaching us, in other words, that the Promised Seed really does consider His Bride a precious gift from His Father’s hand. When we disparage ourselves or the assembly of believers, whether they are the church or the synagogue, we really are disparaging the honor of Almighty Elohiym, who only gives good gifts. *mind blown*

Theme of the parashah
The servant fulfills his oath to his master, and brings the Lord’s appointed bride for his master’s son
Finding Messiah in Torah
We have seen that Isaac, as the son of the promise, is an Old Testament type for Messiah, the Promised Seed. In Gen 24, Abraham (the Father) sends his servant (the Holy Spirit) to search for the bride (the Church) of Isaac (the Promised Seed, the Son). This event occurs after the “death and resurrection” of the Promised Seed in Gen 22. In the end, the Holy Spirit, I mean, the servant, brings the Bride to the Son, as the Son goes out to meet them.
