In context

7The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me from my father’s house and my native land, 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 take a wife for my son from there.

8And if the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”

9So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.

10Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed with all manner of good things from his master in hand. And he set out for Nahor’s hometown in Aram-naharaim.

11As evening approached, he made the camels kneel down near the well outside the town at the time when the women went out to draw water.
