VBM The Oath Taken by Avraham's Servant By Harav Yaakov Medan

I. The Oath And Avraham was old, advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed Avraham in all things. And Avraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, that ruled over all that he had: “Put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh. And I will make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell. But you shall go unto my country, and to my native land, and take a wife for my son, even for Yitzchak.”
