Primary Verses:
-
Genesis 24:2-8
-
"And Abraham said unto his
eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he
had, Put, I pray
thee, thy hand under my thigh: And I will make thee
swear by YHVH, the God of heaven, and
the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife
unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among
whom I dwell: But thou shalt go unto my country, and to
my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. And the
servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not
be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs
bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou
camest? And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that
thou bring not my son thither again. YHVH God of
heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from
the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and
that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give
this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou
shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
And if the woman will
not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear
from this my oath: only bring not my son
thither again."
