Genesis 24:2-9

Thomson(i) 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.
