Genesis 24:1-5 ▼

1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

2 Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his house, who had charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh

3 and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live,

4 but will go to my country and to my kindred and get a wife for my son Isaac.”

5 The servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land; must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
