Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ² So Abraham said unto his servant, elder of his house, ruler of all that he had,––Place, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh; ³ that I may put thee on oath, by Yahweh God of the heavens, and God of the earth––That thou wilt not take a wife for my son, from among the daughters of the Canaanites, in the midst of whom, I, am dwelling: ⁴ but, unto my own land and unto my own kindred, wilt go,––So shalt thou take a wife, for my son––for Isaac. ⁵ And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman may not be willing to follow me into this land,––May I, take back, thy son, into the land from whence thou camest?
