Genesis 24:1 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:1

And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age
Being now one hundred and forty years of age, for as he was an hundred years old when Isaac was born, and Isaac was forty years of age when he married Rebekah, which was at this time, Abraham must be of the age mentioned, see ( Genesis 21:5 ) ( 25:20 ) ; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things;
with all kind of blessings, with temporal and spiritual blessings; the former seems chiefly designed here, because of what follows; God had blessed him, as Aben Ezra observes, with long life, and riches, and honour, and children, things desirable by men.

Genesis 24:1 In-Context

1 As the days went by and Abraham became older, the LORD blessed Abraham in every way.

2 Abraham said to the oldest servant of his household, who was in charge of everything he owned, "Put your hand under my thigh.

3 By the LORD, God of heaven and earth, give me your word that you won't choose a wife for my son from the Canaanite women among whom I live.

4 Go to my land and my family and find a wife for my son Isaac there."

5 The servant said to him, "What if the woman doesn't agree to come back with me to this land? Shouldn't I take your son back to the land you left?"
