And the Lord had ^qblessed Abraham in all things. 2 And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had charge of all that he had, “Put your ^rhand under my thigh, 3 that I may make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and God of the earth, ^sthat you will not take a wife for my son ^tfrom the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell, 4 but will go to ^umy country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
