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.”  ‡
