And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time when women go out to draw water.
#genesis 24:11

Wells appear to have been a common courtship venue in Scripture, Ye Olde Watering Hole. Like the city gates, they were probably natural gathering places and the organic seeds of local markets. If you wanted to find information about a local resident or amenities, you would go to the city gates or the town well.

One Hebrew word for well is 'ayin', which also means 'eye'. In the story of Rebekah's betrothal in Genesis 24 there are two wells. Eliezer finds Rebekah at the "well/eye of water" and then brings her to Isaac at the "well of the One who sees".
