Above in Pasuk 22, the Torah wrote that he placed the ornaments on her even before asking her about her family. Why did Eliezer switch the order?
1.
Rashi: To avoid them pulling him up and asking him how he could place the ornaments before knowing who she was. 1
2.
Rashbam and Ramban: Refer to 24:22:2:2 and note.
3.
Ohr ha'Chayim: Had he admitted that he gave before asking, Besu'el could claim that this was a reward for serving him, 2 and the ornaments belonged to him (since a father receives his daughter's earnings). Therefore he said that he gave them to her for bridal ornaments after she answered him.
