Read Genesis 24.1-67. In 24.1-67: Isaac secures a wife, Rebekah. In verse 2: Abraham's command to the servant to put your hand under my thigh, near his reproductive organs, was customary way of taking an intimate and solemn oath. In verse 10: Abramnaharaim and Nahor are part of Abraham's original home territory in Mesopotamia where he and his family lived before migrating to Canaan (11.31). Most of his extended family apparently remained there. In verses 12-14: The servant asks the Lord to guide the selection process for Isaac's wife. Rebekah fulfills the conditions perfectly (vv. 15-21). In verse 62: Isaac comes from Beer-lahai-rioi, the place where the Lord had guided and comforted Hagar (16.14). Comments or Questions..
