Now
Abraham was
old,
advanced in
age; and the
LORD had
blessed Abraham in
every way.

Abraham said to his
servant, the
oldest of his
household, who
had charge of
all that he owned,
"Please place your

and I will make you
swear by the
LORD, the
God of
heaven and the
God of
earth, that you shall not
take a
wife for my
son from the
daughters of the
Canaanites,
among whom I
live,

The
servant said to him,
"Suppose the
woman is not
willing to
follow * me to
this land; should I
take your

land from
where * you
came?"
