A Bride for Isaac

1 Now Abraham ^awas old, well advanced in age; and the Lord ^bhad blessed Abraham in all things.

2 So Abraham said ^ato the oldest servant of his house, who ^bruled over all that he had, “Please, ^cput your hand under my thigh,

3 and I will make you ^aswear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that ^byou will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;

4 ^abut you shall go ^bto my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
