1. And Avraham was zaken (old), and well stricken in age; and Hashem berach (had blessed) Avraham in all things.
2. And Avraham said unto his eved zekan of his bais, hamoshel (that ruled) over all that he had, Put, now, thy yad under my thigh;
3. And I will make thee swear by Hashem Elohei HaShomayim and Elohei Ha'Aretz, that thou shalt not take an isha unto beni of the Banot HaKena'ani, among whom I dwell:
4. But thou shalt go unto my eretz, and to my moledet, and take an isha unto beni Yitzchak.
5. And the eved said unto him, What if the isha will not be willing to follow me unto HaAretz Hazot: must I needs bring binecha back unto ha'aretz from where thou camest?
6. And Avraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not beni to there!
