5 The servant said to him, "What if the woman doesn’t agree to come back with me to this land? Shouldn’t I take your son back to the land you left?"
6 Abraham said to him, "Be sure you don’t take my son back there.
7 The Lord, God of heaven—who took me from my father’s household and from my family’s land, who spoke with me and who gave me his word, saying, ‘I will give this land to your descendants’—he will send his messenger in front of you, and you will find a wife for my son there.
8 If the woman won’t agree to come back with you, you will be free from this obligation to me. Only don’t take my son back there."
9 So the servant put his hand under his master Abraham’s thigh and gave him his word about this mission.
10 The servant took ten of his master’s camels and all of his master’s best provisions, set out, and traveled to Nahor’s city in Aram-naharaim.
11 He had the camels kneel down outside the city at the well in the evening, when women come out to draw water.
