## Genesis 24:2 in Context (Verses 1–5 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/genesis/24/1) And Abraham was old, *and* well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/genesis/24/2) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/24/3) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/24/4) But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/genesis/24/5) 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?
