By now Abraham was old, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.
2
So Abraham said to the senior servant of his household who was in charge of all that he owned, "Take a solemn oath.
3
I want you to swear by the LORD God of heaven and earth that you will not get my son a wife from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I'm living.
4
Instead, you will go to the land of my relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac."
5
The servant asked him, "What if the woman doesn't want to come back to this land with me? Should I take your son all the way back to the land you came from?"
6
"Make sure that you do not take my son back there," Abraham said to him.
