1
By now Avraham was old, advanced in years; and ADONAI had blessed Avraham in everything.
2
Avraham said to the servant who had served him the longest, who was in charge of all he owned, "Put your hand under my thigh;
3
because I want you to swear by ADONAI, God of heaven and God of the earth, that you will not choose a wife for my son from among the women of the Kena'ani, among whom I am living;
4
but that you will go to my homeland, to my kinsmen, to choose a wife for my son Yitz'chak."
5

6
Avraham said to him, "See to it that you don't bring my son back there.
