Genesis 24:3-8

3and I will make you swearH7650 by the LordH3068, 1the GodH430 of heavenH8064 and the GodH430 of earthH776, that you 2shall not takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 from the daughtersH1323 of 3the CanaanitesH3669, amongH7130 whomH834 I liveH3427,

4but you will goH1980 to 4my countryH776 and to my relativesH4138, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 IsaacH3327.”

5The servantH5650 saidH559 to him, “SupposeH194 the womanH802 is not willingH14 to followH1980H310 me to thisH2088 landH776; should I takeH7725 your sonH1121 backH7725 to the landH776 from whereH834H8033 you cameH3318?”

6Then AbrahamH85 saidH559 to him, “5BewareH8104 that you do not takeH7725 my sonH1121 backH7725 thereH8033!

76The LordH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, whoH834 tookH3947 me from my father’sH1 houseH1004 and from the landH776 of my birthH4138, and whoH834 spokeH1696 to me and whoH834 sworeH7650 to me, sayingH559, ‘7To your 8descendantsH2233 I will giveH5414 thisH2088 landH776,’ He will sendH7971 9His angelH4397 beforeH6440 you, and you will takeH3947 a wifeH802 for my sonH1121 from thereH8033.

8But ifH518 the womanH802 is not willingH14 to followH1980H310 you, then you will 10be freeH5352 from thisH2088 my oathH7621; 11onlyH7534 do not takeH7725 my sonH1121 backH7725 thereH8033.”
