Genesis 24:2-12
2And AbrahamH85 saidH559 to his servantH5650, the eldest of his houseH1004, who ruledH4910 over all that he had, PutH7760 thy handH3027, I pray thee, under my thighH3409,
3and I will make thee swearH7650 by Jehovah, the 1GodH430 of the heavensH8064 and the 2GodH430 of the earthH776, that thou takeH3947 not a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 of the daughtersH1323 of the CanaanitesH3669, among whom I am dwellingH3427;
4but thou shalt go to my landH776 and to my kindredH4138, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 IsaacH3327.
5And the servantH5650 saidH559 to him, PerhapsH194 the womanH802 will not be willingH14 to follow me to this landH776: must I, then, bringH3318 thy sonH1121 again in any case to the landH776 from which thou hast removed?
6And AbrahamH85 saidH559 to him, Beware that thou bringH7725 not my sonH1121 thither again.
7Jehovah the 3GodH430 of the heavensH8064, who tookH3947 me out of my father's houseH1004, and out of the landH776 of my nativity, and who has spokenH1696 to me, and who has swornH7650 to me, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 this landH776 — he will sendH7971 his angelH4397 before thee, that thou mayest takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 thence.
8And if the womanH802 be not willingH14 to follow thee, then thou shalt be quit of this my oathH7621: onlyH7535, bringH7725 not my sonH1121 thither again.
9And the servantH5650 putH7760 his handH3027 under the thighH3409 of AbrahamH85 his masterH113, and sworeH7650 unto him concerning that matterH1697.
10And the servantH5650 tookH3947 tenH6235 camelsH1581 of the camelsH1581 of his masterH113, and departed; now all the treasure of his masterH113 was under his handH3027; and he aroseH6965 and went to Aram-naharaim, to the cityH5892 of NahorH5152.
11And he made the camelsH1581 kneel down outside the cityH5892 by a wellH875 of waterH4325, at the timeH6256 of the eveningH6153, when the women cameH3318 out to drawH7579 [waterH4325].
12And he saidH559, Jehovah, 4GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, meet me, I pray thee, [with thy blessing] this dayH3117, and deal kindly with my masterH113 AbrahamH85.
