6. Abraham said to him, “No! Don’t take my son back there.
7. The Lord, the God of heaven, brought me from the home of my father and the land of my relatives. And he promised me, “I will give this land to your descendants.’ The Lord will send his angel before you to help you get a wife for my son there.
8. If the girl won’t come back with you, you will be free from this promise. But you must not take my son back there.”
9. So the servant put his hand under his master’s leg and made a promise to Abraham about this.
10. The servant took ten of Abraham’s camels and left, carrying with him many different kinds of beautiful gifts. He went to Northwest Mesopotamia to Nahor’s city.
11. In the evening, when the women come out to get water, he made the camels kneel down at the well outside the city.
12. The servant said, “Lord, God of my master Abraham, allow me to find a wife for his son today. Please show this kindness to my master Abraham.
