Genesis 24:2-12
2And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto his servantH5650, the elderH2205 of his houseH1004, that ruledH4910 over all that he had, PutH7760, I pray thee, thy handH3027 under my thighH3409: 3and I will make thee swearH7650 by Jehovah, the GodH430 of heavenH8064 and the GodH430 of the earthH776, that thou wilt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 of the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669, among whom I dwellH3427: 4but thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindredH4138, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 IsaacH3327. 5And the servantH5650 saidH559 unto him, Peradventure the womanH802 will not be willingH14 to follow me unto this landH776: must I needs bringH3318 thy sonH1121 again unto the landH776 from whence thou camest? 6And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto him, Beware thou that thou bringH7725 not my sonH1121 thither again. 7Jehovah, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, who tookH3947 me from my father’sH1 houseH1004, and from the landH776 of my nativity, and who spake unto me, and who sware unto me, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 this landH776; he will sendH7971 his angelH4397 before thee, and thou shalt takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 from thence. 8And if the womanH802 be not willingH14 to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oathH7621; onlyH7535 thou shalt not bringH7725 my sonH1121 thither again. 9And the servantH5650 putH7760 his handH3027 under the thighH3409 of AbrahamH85 his masterH113, and sware to him concerning this matterH1697.
10And the servantH5650 tookH3947 tenH6235 camelsH1581, of the camelsH1581 of his masterH113, and departed, having all goodly things of his master’sH113 in his handH3027: and he aroseH6965, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the cityH5892 of NahorH5152. 11And he made the camelsH1581 to kneel down without the cityH5892 by the wellH875 of waterH4325 at the timeH6256 of eveningH6153, the timeH6256 that women goH3318 out to drawH7579 waterH4325. 12And he saidH559, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, send me, I pray thee, good speed this dayH3117, and show kindness unto my masterH113 AbrahamH85.
