Genesis 24:1-5

1. 1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

2. 2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

3. 3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

4. 4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

5. 5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
