Genesis 24:5–11

⁵And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I, then, bring thy son again in any case to the land from which thou hast removed? ⁶And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son thither again. ⁷Jehovah the God of the heavens, who took me out of my father’s house, and out of the land of my nativity, and who has spoken to me, and who has sworn to me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land—he will send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife for my son thence. ⁸And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be quit of this my oath: only, bring not my son thither again. ⁹And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore unto him concerning that matter.

¹⁰And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; now all the treasure of his master was under his hand; and he arose and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor. ¹¹And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, when the women came out to draw water.
