Genesis 24:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Abraham said to him, “Let me make it very clear to you that you are not to take my son back there again. ⁷ The Lord, the God of heaven, took me away from my father’s house and from the land of my birth. He spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’^[a] The Lord will send his angel ahead of you, so you shall find a wife for my son from there. ⁸ If the woman is not willing to follow you, you will be released from this oath. But under no circumstances shall you take my son back there.”
