1 Abraham was now very old, and the Lord had blessed him in everything he did.
2 He said to his oldest servant, who was in charge of all that he had, “Place your hand between my thighs and make a vow.
3 I want you to make a vow in the name of the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not choose a wife for my son from the people here in Canaan.
4 You must go back to the country where I was born and get a wife for my son Isaac from among my relatives.”
5 But the servant asked, “What if the young woman will not leave home to come with me to this land? Shall I send your son back to the land you came from?”
