1 Abraham was now old and well advanced in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way. 2 He said to the chief [a] 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."
- Abraham told his servant to go back to his homeland and find a wife for his son Isaac.
- Abraham does not want Isaac's marriage to draw him away from the God that he loves, he does not want any woman to cause Isaac to love God any less.
- If you love someone, you may end up loving the things that this person loves even though they may not be lovable.
- Find a wife or a husband from your 'homeland' - to the group of people who has genuine relationship with God.
