Genesis 24:5–11

⁵And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow^b me to this land—must I then return your son to the land from whence you came?” ⁶Abraham said to him, “You must take care^c that you do not return my son there. ⁷Yahweh, the God of heaven who took me from the house of my father and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘to your offspring I will give this land,’ he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. ⁸And if the woman is not willing to follow^d you, then you shall be released from this oath of mine—only you must not return my son there.” ⁹Then the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and he swore to him concerning this matter. ¹⁰And the servant took ten camels from his master’s camels, and he went with all kinds of his master’s good things in his hand. And he arose and went to Aram-Naharaim, to the city of Nahor. ¹¹And he made the camels kneel outside the city at the well of water, at the time of evening, toward the time the women went out to draw water.
