Genesis 24:1-9:
Parshat Bereshit (Genesis) Chapter 24
1 Abraham was old. He continued to deeply internalize his experiences. God had blessed Abraham with everything.
2 He said to his servant Eliezer, the elder member of his household who was in charge of all that he owned: “Place your hand under my ‘thigh’ [i.e., reproductive organ],
3 and I will bind you by an oath to God, God of heaven and God of the earth. Do not take a wife for my son from among the daughters of the Canaanites in whose midst I live.
Genesis 24:4-9:
:4 Instead, you must go to my former land, to Charan, the place where my family still lives, and take a wife from among them for my son, Isaac.”
:5 The servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not wish to follow me to this land. Should I take your son back to the land from which you departed?”
:6 Abraham said to him, “Be most careful not to take my son back there.
:7 God, the God of heaven, who took me away from my father’s house in Charan, and from the land of my family, Ur of the Chaldeans, spoke concerning me—and even swore to me—saying,
‘To your offspring will I give this land,’ will send His angel ahead of you to orchestrate events to your advantage.
With His help, you will take a wife for my son from there.
:8 But, despite all this, if the woman does not wish to follow you back here, you will be absolved of this oath of mine. In any event, do not return my son to there.”
:9 So the servant placed his hand under the “thigh” of Abraham, his master, and swore to him regarding this.
