2 Abraham said to his oldest servant, who was in charge of everything he owned, “Put your hand under my leg.
3 Make a promise to me before the Lord, the God of heaven and earth. Don’t get a wife for my son from the Canaanite girls who live around here.
4 Instead, go back to my country, to the land of my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac.”

6 Abraham said to him, “No! Don’t take my son back there.
