Genesis 24:6-14 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

6. And Abraham saith unto him, `Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause my son to turn back thither;

7. Jehovah, God of the heavens, who hath taken me from the house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who hath spoken to me, and who hath sworn to me, saying, To thy seed I give this land, He doth send His messenger before thee, andthou hast taken a wife for my son from thence;

8. and if the woman be not willing to come after thee, then thou hast been acquitted from this mine oath: only my son thou dost not cause to turn back thither.'

9. And the servant putteth his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and sweareth to him concerning this matter.

10. And the servant taketh ten camels of the camels of his lord and goeth, also of all the goods of his lord in his hand, and he riseth, and goeth unto Aram-Naharaim, unto the city of Nahor;

11. and he causeth the camels to kneel at the outside of the city, at the well of water, at even-time, at the time of the coming out of the women who draw water.

12. And he saith, `Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, cause to meet, I pray Thee, before me this day--(and do kindness with my lord Abraham;

13. lo, I am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;

14. and it hath been, the young person unto whom I say, Incline, I pray thee, thy pitcher, and I drink, and she hath said, Drink, and I water also thy camels) --her Thou hast decided for Thy servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that Thou hast done kindness with my lord.'
