Genesis 24:2-9
2So AbrahamH85 instructedH559H413 the chiefH2205 servantH5650 of his householdH1004, who managedH4910 all he ownedH3605, “PlaceH7760H4994 your handH3027 underH8478 my thighH3409, 3and I will have you swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064 and the GodH430 of earthH776, thatH834 you will notH3808 takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 from the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669 amongH7130 whomH834 IH595 am dwellingH3427, 4butH3588 will goH1980 toH413 my countryH776 andH413 my kindredH4138 to takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 IsaacH3327.”
5The servantH5650 askedH559 himH413, “What ifH194 the womanH802 is unwillingH3808H14 to follow meH1980H310 toH413 thisH2063 landH776? Shall I then take your son backH7725H1121 toH413 the landH776 fromH8033 whichH834 you cameH3318?”
6AbrahamH85 repliedH559H413, “Make sureH8104 that you do notH6435 take my sonH1121 backH7725 thereH8033. 7The LORDH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, whoH834 brought meH3947 from my father’sH1 houseH1004 and my nativeH4138 landH776, whoH834 spokeH1696 to me andH834 promised me on oathH7650, sayingH559, ‘To your offspringH2233 I will giveH5414 thisH2063 landH776’—HeH1931 will sendH7971 His angelH4397 before youH6440 so that you can takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 from thereH8033. 8And ifH518 the womanH802 is unwillingH3808H14 to followH1980 youH310, then you are releasedH5352 from thisH2063 oath of mineH7621. OnlyH7535 do notH3808 takeH7725 my sonH1121 back thereH8033.”
9So the servantH5650 placedH7760 his handH3027 underH8478 the thighH3409 of his masterH113 AbrahamH85 and swore an oathH7650 to him concerningH5921 thisH2088 matterH1697.
