ובה אדע. פירש"י שהוא לשון תחנה וגו'. ותימ' לה"ר משה דאמרינן בעלמא שלשה שאלו שלא כהוגן וחשיב אליעזר עבד אברהם ולפירש"י לא שאל שלא כהוגן: ובה אדע, “and through her (conduct) I will know, etc.” according to Rashi, this wording is a kind of plea by Eliezer. This presents an apparent conflict with a statement by Rabbi Sh’muel son of Nachmeni in the Talmud, tractate Taanit, folio 4, according to which the Bible names three people whose requests from G–d were considered as inappropriate, Eliezer’s request here being one of the three. When we examine Eliezer’s request, if a blind girl had performed the tasks he had requested as proof of her worthiness to become the wife of Yitzchok, he would have had to choose her. According to Rashi’s interpretation, there was nothing inappropriate in Eliezer’s request.
