servant of his household, the one ruling in all which to him: place, please,

heavens and of the earth, which not you shall take woman for my son from
daughters of the Canaanite, whom I dwelling in within of him. 4 that to my land
and kindred you shall go and take woman for my son, for Isaac. 5 and the
servant is saying to him: perhaps not the woman is willing to go after me to
the this land; to bring back, shall I bring back your son to the land, which
you went forth from there? 6 and Abraham is saying to him: beware to you, lest
you are bringing back my son there ward. 7 Yahweh, Elohim of the heavens, who
took me from house of my father and from land of my kindred; and who spoke to
me, and who swore to me, to say: to your seed I shall give the this land shall
send his messenger to your faces, and you take woman for my son from there. 8
and if not the woman is willing to go after you, and you are innocent from my,
this oath; but my son not you shall bring back there ward. 9 and the servant is

drink; her you find correct for your servant Isaac; and in her I shall know,
that you do kindness with my lord. 15 and he is becoming, ere he finished to
