Genesis 24:3 in Context — Genesis 24
1 Abraham était vieux, avancé en âge; et l’Éternel avait béni Abraham en toute chose.
2 Abraham dit à son serviteur, le plus ancien de sa maison, l’intendant de tous ses biens: Mets, je te prie, ta main sous ma cuisse;
3 et je te ferai jurer par l’Éternel, le Dieu du ciel et le Dieu de la terre, de ne pas prendre pour mon fils une femme parmi les filles des Cananéens au milieu desquels j’habite,
4 mais d’aller dans mon pays et dans ma patrie prendre une femme pour mon fils Isaac.
5 Le serviteur lui répondit: Peut-être la femme ne voudra-t-elle pas me suivre dans ce pays-ci; devrai-je mener ton fils dans le pays d’où tu es sorti?
