Genesis 24:1-8

¹And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.

²And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put your hand under my thigh,

³and I will adjure you by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.

⁴But you shall go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and you shall take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.

⁵And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back your son to the land whence you came forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?

⁶And Abraam said to him, Take heed to yourself that you carry not my son back there.

⁷The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to you and to your seed, he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from thence.

⁸And if the woman should not be willing to come with you into this land, you shall be clear from my oath, only carry not my son there again.
