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 Avraham was old, and well stricken in age. The LORD had blessed Avraham in all things.

2 Avraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please put your hand under my thigh.

3 I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the eretz, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Kana`anim, among whom I live.

4 But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Yitzchak."

5 The servant said to him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?"
