1. By now Abraham was old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.
2. So Abraham said to the senior servant of his household who was in charge of all that he owned, “Take a solemn oath.
3. I want you to swear by the Lord God of heaven and earth that you will not get my son a wife from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I’m living.
4. Instead, you will go to the land of my relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.”
5. The servant asked him, “What if the woman doesn’t want to come back to this land with me? Should I take your son all the way back to the land you came from?”
6. “Make sure that you do not take my son back there,” Abraham said to him.
