Genesis 24:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Therefore Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, which had the rule over all that he had, (A)[a]Put now thine hand under my thigh,
3 And I will make thee [b]swear by the Lord God of the heaven, and God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I dwell:
4 But thou shalt go unto my [c]country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
