Abraham

And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy hand under my thigh,

And Abraham said: Beware thou never bring my son back again thither.

The servant, therefore, put his hand under the thigh of Abraham, his lord, and swore to him upon his word.

O Lord, the God of my master, Abraham, meet me today, I beseech thee, and shew kindness to my master, Abraham.

He had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder:

Saying: Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not taken away his mercy and truth from my master, and hath brought me the straight way into the house of my master's brother.

And he said: I am the servant of Abraham:

And I came today to the well of water, and said: O Lord God of my master, Abraham, if thou hast prospered my way, wherein I now walk,

And falling down, I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord God of my master, Abraham, who hath brought me the straight way to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.

Which when Abraham's servant heard, falling down to the ground, he adored the Lord.

So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his company.

And Abraham married another wife named Cetura:

And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac:

And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.

And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five years.

And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people.

Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.

And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.

These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara's servant, bore unto him:

These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:

And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestines, to Gerara.

And sojourn in it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfil the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.

Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.

Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father, Abraham, had digged, filling them up with earth:

And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father, Abraham, had digged, and which, after his death, the Philistines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names, by which his father before had called them.
