And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was in charge of all that he had: “Place your hand under my thigh,
so that I may make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
But that you will proceed to my land and kindred, and from there take a wife for my son Isaac.”
The servant responded, “If the woman is not willing to come with me into this land, must I lead your son back to the place from which you departed?”
And Abraham said: “Beware that you never lead my son back to that place.
The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land,’ himself will send his Angel before you, and you will take from there a wife for my son.
But if the woman is not willing to follow you, you will not be held by the oath. Only do not lead my son back to that place.”
