Genesis 24:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 24
2
Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household who was in charge of all that he owned, 'Please place your hand under my thigh,
3
and I will make you swear by the
Lord
, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live;
4
but you will go to my country and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.'
5
The servant said to him, 'Suppose the woman is not willing to follow me to this land; should I take your son back to the land from where you came?'
6
Then Abraham said to him, 'Beware that you do not take my son back there!
7
The
Lord
, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and who swore to me, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give this land’—He will send His angel ahead of you, and you will take a wife for my son from there.
8
But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free of this oath of mine; only do not take my son back there.'
King James Version
Chapter 24
2
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3
And I will make thee swear by the
Lord
, the God of heaven, and the 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 country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
5
And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
6
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
7
The
Lord
God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
8
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
2
Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his household who managed all he owned, "Place your hand under my thigh,
3
and I will have you swear by the
Lord
, God of heaven and God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I live,
4
but will go to my land and my family to take a wife for my son Isaac."
5
The servant said to him, "Suppose the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Should I have your son go back to the land you came from?"
6
Abraham answered him, "Make sure that you don’t take my son back there.
7
The
Lord
, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from my native land, who spoke to me and swore to me, ‘I will give this land to your offspring’ —he will send his angel before you, and you can take a wife for my son from there.
8
If the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are free from this oath to me, but don’t let my son go back there."
New Living Translation
Chapter 24
2
One day Abraham said to his oldest servant, the man in charge of his household, 'Take an oath by putting your hand under my thigh.
3
Swear by the
Lord
, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not allow my son to marry one of these local Canaanite women.
4
Go instead to my homeland, to my relatives, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.'
5
The servant asked, 'But what if I can’t find a young woman who is willing to travel so far from home? Should I then take Isaac there to live among your relatives in the land you came from?'
6
No!' Abraham responded. 'Be careful never to take my son there.
7
For the
Lord
, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and my native land, solemnly promised to give this land to my descendants. He will send his angel ahead of you, and he will see to it that you find a wife there for my son.
8
If she is unwilling to come back with you, then you are free from this oath of mine. But under no circumstances are you to take my son there.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 24
2
And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had charge of all that he had, "Put your hand under my thigh,
3
that I may make you swear by the
Lord
, the God of heaven and God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell,
4
but will go to my country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac."
5
The servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?"
6
Abraham said to him, "See to it that you do not take my son back there.
7
The
Lord
, the God of heaven, who took me from my father 's house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me and swore to me, ‘To your offspring I will give this land,’ he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
8
But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine; only you must not take my son back there."
New International Version
Chapter 24
2
He said to the senior servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had, "Put your hand under my thigh.
3
I want you to swear by the
Lord
, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,
4
but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac."
5
The servant asked him, "What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the country you came from?"
6
"Make sure that you do not take my son back there," Abraham said.
7
"The
Lord
, the God of heaven, who brought me out of my father’s household and my native land and who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land’—he will send his angel before you so that you can get a wife for my son from there.
8
If the woman is unwilling to come back with you, then you will be released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there."
New King James Version
Chapter 24
2
So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please, put your hand under my thigh,
3
and I will make you swear by the
Lord
, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;
4
but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
5
And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?”
6
But Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not take my son back there.
7
The
Lord
God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land,’ He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
8
And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there.”
