1 By that time Abraham was very old. The Lord had blessed him in every way.
2 The best servant in his house was in charge of everything he had. Abraham said to him, "Put your hand under my thigh.
3 The Lord is the God of heaven and the God of earth. I want you to make a promise with an oath in his name. "I'm living among the people of Canaan. But I want you to promise me that you won't get a wife for my son from their daughters.
4 Instead, promise me that you will go to my country and to my own relatives. Get a wife for my son Isaac from there."
