Genesis 24:5 in Context — Genesis 24
3 E te juramentarei pelo SENHOR, Deus dos céus e Deus da terra, que não tomarás mulher para meu filho das filhas dos cananeus, entre os quais eu habito;
4 Em vez disso irás à minha terra e à minha parentela, e tomarás mulher para meu filho Isaque.
5 E o criado lhe respondeu: Talvez a mulher não queira vir atrás de mim a esta terra; farei voltar, pois, teu filho à terra de onde saíste?
6 E Abraão lhe disse: Guarda-te que não faças voltar a meu filho ali.
7 O SENHOR, Deus dos céus, que me tomou da casa de meu pai e da terra de minha parentela, e me falou e me jurou, dizendo: À tua descendência darei esta terra; ele enviará seu anjo diante de ti, e tu tomarás dali mulher para meu filho.
