1 E Abraão era velho, e cheio de dias; e o SENHOR havia abençoado a Abraão em tudo.

2 E disse Abraão a um criado seu, o mais velho de sua casa, que era o que governava em tudo o que tinha: Põe agora tua mão debaixo de minha coxa,

4 Em vez disso irás à minha terra e à minha parentela, e tomarás mulher para meu filho Isaque.
