1 Abraham was old, and well stricken in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, 'Please put your hand under my thigh.
3 I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
4 But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.'
5 The servant said to him, 'What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?'
