Genesis 24:2-9

2So Abraham said to the senior servant of his household who was in charge of all that he owned, “Take a solemn oath.

3I want you to swear by the Lord God of heaven and earth that you will not get my son a wife from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I’m living.

4Instead, you will go to the land of my relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.”

5The servant asked him, “What if the woman doesn’t want to come back to this land with me? Should I take your son all the way back to the land you came from?”

6“Make sure that you do not take my son back there,” Abraham said to him.

7“The Lord God of heaven took me from my father’s home and the land of my family. He spoke to me and swore this oath: ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ “God will send his angel ahead of you, and you will get my son a wife from there.

8If the woman doesn’t want to come back with you, then you’ll be free from this oath that you swear to me. But don’t take my son back there.”

9So the servant did as his master Abraham commanded and swore the oath to him concerning this.
