Genesis 24:5 in Context — Genesis 24
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?
6 Abraham lui dit: Garde-toi d’y mener mon fils!
7 L’Éternel, le Dieu du ciel, qui m’a fait sortir de la maison de mon père et de ma patrie, qui m’a parlé et qui m’a juré, en disant: Je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité, lui-même enverra son ange devant toi; et c’est de là que tu prendras une femme pour mon fils.
