According to the book of Genesis, the helper made the camels stop outside the city at a well because it was the time when women came to get water. This was a good place to wait and meet someone who could help him with his task.

Genesis 24:11: And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, [even] the time that women go out to draw [water]. [that...: Heb. that women who draw water go forth]

Contradiction with Genesis 24:22

This verse contradicts Genesis 24:11 by introducing the act of giving gifts after meeting Rebekah, whereas Genesis 24:11 involves waiting by the well, focusing on timing and approach rather than action and exchange.

Contradiction with John 4:7-9

It contrasts with Genesis 24:11, where the servant seeks to provide for his camels, while in John 4:7-9, Jesus asks the woman for a drink, showing reverse roles and different social interactions.

John 4:7-9: There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

Contradiction with Exodus 2:16-17

These verses present a contradiction by depicting Moses actively helping daughters of the priest without seeking a wife, unlike the servant in Genesis 24:11 who waits to find a wife for Isaac.
