⁸ And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.

⁹ And the servant put his hand under Abraham's leg, and gave him his oath about this thing.

¹⁰ And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.
