1. And Abraham was old and well stricken in age, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
2. And Abraham said unto his eldest slave of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh,
3. and I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of the heavens and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;
4. but thou shalt go unto my country and to my kindred and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
5. And the slave said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land, must I therefore bring thy son again unto the land from which thou didst come?
