- the servant:
- This seems to have been a kind of steward, who had the under- management of the estate. "And Abramª said,ª° Lordª GOD,ª what¹ wilt thou giveª° me, seeing I¹ goª° childless,ª and the stewardªª of my houseª [is] thisª Eliezerª of Damascus?ª" {Gen 15:2} + "And Abrahamª saidª° unto¹ his eldestª servantª of his house,ª that ruled¹ over²° all¹ that¹ he had, Put,ª° I pray thee,¹ thy handª under¹ my thigh:ª" {Gen 24:2} + "And Josephª foundª° graceª in his sight,ª and he servedª° him: and he made him overseerª° over¹ his house,ª and all¹ [that] he hadª he putª° into his hand.ª" {Gen 39:4} + "Soª when evenª was come,ª° the¹ lordª of the¹ vineyardª saith²° unto his²¹ steward,ª Callª° the¹ labourers,ª andª giveª° themª [their] hire,ª beginningª° fromª the¹ lastª untoª the¹ first.ª" {Mtt 20:8} + "Whoª thenª isª° a faithfulª andª wiseª servant,ª whomª hisª lordª hath made rulerª° overª his²¹ household,ª to giveª° themª meatª inª due season?ª" {Mtt 24:45}
