Poured Out
Inspired by Genesis 24:1-67
By Lauren Wright Pittman

“I struggle with this narrative because it highlights Rebekah’s lack of autonomy. Even still, she embodies radical and profound hospitality. Not only does she offer Abraham’s servant water, she extends hospitality to the camels. She pours herself out like water from the jar she carries on her shoulder. She provides, she nourishes, and she willingly goes where God calls her to go. The patriarchal nature of this passage is hard to digest, but she models for me a grace and strength within harmful societal structures. In this image I wanted to remain focused on Rebekah’s almost absurd hospitality. Her hair swirls and overflows like the water from her jar. Her act of hospitality brings Abraham’s servant to worship God. She is a strong leader, one that certainly becomes ‘thousands of myriads’ (Gen 24:60).”
