1. Now Abraham was old; and advanced in age: and the Lord had blessed him in all things.
2. And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy hand under my thigh,
3. That I may make thee swear by the Lord the God of heaven and earth, that thou take not a wife for my son, of the daughters of the Chanaanites, among whom I dwell:
4. But that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence for my son Isaac.
5. The servant answered: If the woman will not come with me into this land, must I bring thy son back again to the place, from whence thou camest out?
6. And Abraham said: Beware thou never bring my son back again thither.
