Genesis 24:3

A Wife for Isaac

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.”
