1. Abraham lived to be a very old man. The Lord blessed him and everything he did.
2. Abraham’s oldest servant was in charge of everything he owned. Abraham called that servant to him and said, “Put your hand under my leg.
3. Now I want you to make a promise to me. Promise to me before the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not allow my son to marry a girl from Canaan. We live among these people, but don’t let him marry a Canaanite girl.
4. Go back to my country, to my own people, to find a wife for my son Isaac. Bring her here to him.”
5. The servant said to him, “Maybe this woman will not want to come back with me to this land. If that happens, should I take your son with me to your homeland?”
