In context

1By now Abraham was old and well along in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.

2So Abraham instructed the chief servant of his household, who managed all he owned, “Place your hand under my thigh,

3And 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,

4But will go to my country and my kindred to take a wife for my son Isaac.”

5The 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?”
