Genesis 24:6-8
Complete Jewish Bible
6 Avraham said to him, “See to it that you don’t bring my son back there. 7 Adonai, the God of heaven — who took me away from my father’s house and away from the land I was born in, who spoke to me and swore to me, ‘I will give this land to your descendants’ — he will send his angel ahead of you; and you are to bring a wife for my son from there. 8 But if the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are released from your obligation under my oath. Just don’t bring my son back there.”

6 “Make sure that you do not take my son back there,”(A) Abraham said. 7 “The Lord, the God of heaven,(B) who brought me out of my father’s household and my native land(C) and who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring[a](D) I will give this land’(E)—he will send his angel before you(F) so that you can get a wife for my son from there. 8 If the woman is unwilling to come back with you, then you will be released from this oath(G) of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”(H)
