2 And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his family and who was ruler over all that he had, Put thy hand under my thigh,
3 and let me cause thee to swear by the Lord the God of heaven and the God of earth, that thou wilt not take a wife for my son Isaak, of the daughters of the Chananites among whom I dwell;
4 but that thou wilt go to the land where I was born, and to my tribe and take thence a wife for my son Isaak.
5 And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to come with me to this land; shall I take back thy son to the land from which thou earnest?
6 Whereupon Abraham said to him, Beware that thou take not back my son thither.
7 The Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my nativity; who spoke to me, and who sware to me saying, "To thee I will give this land and to thy seed;" he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take thence a wife for my son.
8 But if the woman will not come with thee into this land, thou shalt be absolved from this my oath, save that thou must not take my son back thither.
9 Then the servant put his hand under his master Abraham's thigh, and swore to him respecting this matter.
10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master; and of all the goods of his master which were in his charge, and arose and went to Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
11 And he made his camels lie down without the city, by the well of water, in the evening, when the women come out to draw water;
12 and said, Lord the God of my master Abraham, prosper the way before me this day; and shew thy kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Behold I stand by this well of water and the daughters of the inhabitants of the city will come out to draw water.
14 Now let the virgin to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher that I may drink; and who shall say, Drink thou, and I will give water also to thy camels till they have all done drinking; let her be the woman whom thou hast provided for thy servant Isaak. And by this I shall know that thou hast dealt mercifully with my master Abraham.
