1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in days, and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. 2 And Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his household, who was in charge over all that he had, |Please put your hand under my thigh, 3 and I will make you swear by the God of heaven and earth, that you must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living, 4 but you must go to my country and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac.| 5 And the servant asked him, |What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I then bring your son back to the land from which you came?| Genesis 24:1-5, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
