1 Nowe Abraham was olde, and striken in yeeres, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. 2 Therefore Abraham saide vnto his eldest seruant of his house, which had the rule ouer all that he had, Put nowe thine hand vnder my thigh, 3 And I will make thee sweare by ye Lorde God of the heauen, and God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife vnto my sonne of the daughters of the Canaanites among who I dwel. 4 But thou shalt go vnto my countrey, and to my kinred, & take a wife vnto my sone Izhak. 5 And the seruant saide to him, What if the woman will not come with me to this land? Shall I bring thy sonne againe vnto the lande from whence thou camest? Genesis 24:1-5, Geneva Bible of 1587. Public domain.
