Genesis 24:1-5 ▼

1 Now Abraham was old, advanced in age; and Yahweh had blessed Abraham in every way.

2 And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who ruled over all that he owned, “Please place your hand under my thigh,

3 and I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live,

4 but you will go to my land and to my kin, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

5 And the servant said to him, “Suppose the woman is not willing to follow me to this land; should I indeed take your son back to the land from where you came?”
