NASB — Genesis 24 — KJV

A Bride for Isaac

1 Now aAbraham° was old°, advanced° in age°; and the LORD° had bblessed° Abraham° in every° way°. 2 Abraham° said° to his servant°, the oldest° of his household°, who had° acharge° of all° that he owned, “bPlease° place° your hand° under° my thigh°, 3 and I will make you swear° by the LORD°, athe God° of heaven° and the God° of earth°, that you bshall not take° a wife° for my son° from the daughters° of cthe Canaanites°, among° whom° I live°, 4 but you will go° to amy country° and to my relatives°, and take° a wife° for my son° Isaac°.” 5 The servant° said° to him, “Suppose° the woman° is not willing° to follow°° me to this° land°; should I take° your son° back° to the land° from where°° you came°?” 6 Then Abraham° said° to him, “aBeware° that you do not take° my son° back° there°! 7 aThe LORD°, the God° of heaven°, who° took° me from my father’s° house° and from the land° of my birth°, and who° spoke° to me and who° swore° to me, saying°, ‘bTo your Idescendants° I will give° this° land°,’ He will send° cHis angel° before° you, and you will take° a wife° for my son° from there°. 8 But if° the woman° is not willing° to follow°° you, then you will abe free° from this° my oath°; bonly° do not take° my son° back° there°.” 9 So the servant° aplaced° his hand° under° the thigh° of Abraham° his master°, and swore° to him concerning° this° matter°.
