1 By now Abraham (father of many) was old and well along in years, and the LORD {YHWH} had blessed him in every way. 2 So Abraham (father of many) instructed the chief servant of his household, who managed all he owned, “Place your hand under my thigh, 3 and I will have you swear by the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites (merchants) among whom I am dwelling, 4 but will go to my country and my kindred to take a wife for my son Isaac (he laughs).” Genesis 24:1-4, Berean Annotated Bible.
