Genesis 24:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 24:7

5 And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?”

6 But Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not take my son back there.

7 The Lord God of heaven, who ^atook me from my father’s house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ^b‘To your descendants I give this land,’ ^cHe will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

8 And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then ^ayou will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there.”

9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

10 Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, ^afor all his master’s goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to ^bthe city of Nahor.
