Genesis 24:6-11 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. And Aḇraham said to him, “Beware lest you take my son back there!

7. “יהוה, Elohim of the heavens, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my relatives, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your seed I give this land,’ He sends His messenger before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

8. “And if the woman refuses to follow you, then you shall be released from this oath; only, do not take my son back there.”

9. Then the servant put his hand under the thigh of Aḇraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

10. And the servant took ten of his master’s camels and left, for all his master’s good gifts were in his hand. And he arose and went to Aram Naharayim, to the city of Naḥor.

11. And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a fountain of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water.
