Genesis 24:1-4 ▼

1 Now Abraham was old and of many days. And the Lord had blessed him in all things.

2 And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was in charge of all that he had: “Place your hand under my thigh,

3 so that I may make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.

4 But that you will proceed to my land and kindred, and from there take a wife for my son Isaac.”
