Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

In context
1 By now Abraham was old and well along in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.
2 So Abraham instructed the chief servant of his household, who managed all he owned, “Place your hand under my thigh,
3 and I will have you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am dwelling,
4 but will go to my country and my kindred to take a wife for my son Isaac.”
5 The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
