1. And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age. And Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.
2. And Abraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh.
3. And I will make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou wilt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell.
4. But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
