| 1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

| A. P. Lopuchin explains the way of the oath:
« Of the various explanations of its meaning, the one that sees in it the symbol of the oath on the sword, which is known to be worn at the hip, should be recognized as the most successful. The one who swore in this way seemed to be saying: if I break the oath, then let the sword strike me»

| As I understand it, the point of these lines is that if the oath is broken, then the children who came, or will come, from the father will take their revenge for the betrayal.

“thy hand under my thigh” is a peculiar form of oath (we find it again in Gen. 47:29). One of the possible explanation is that the one that sees in it the symbol of the oath on the sword, which is known to be worn at the hip.

| We see that he is looking for a woman who is not rich, beautiful, but with noble morals, and therefore sent a servant on such a long journey to find her. Abraham does this because of his concern for spiritual virtue and his aversion to the vices of the locals. The servant doubts: whether the woman will not want to go with him. But Abraham's faith in God's promises to him is so great, that he tells the servant without a shadow of doubt that God Himself will help him in this matter.
