1. Now Abraham was old and of many days. And the Lord had blessed him in all things.
2. 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,
3. 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.
4. But that you will proceed to my land and kindred, and from there take a wife for my son Isaac."
