And then Abraham buried Sara his wife in the double cave of
the field that lieth before Mamre, otherwise called Ebron in the
land of Canaan. And so both the field and the cave that is
therein, was made unto Abraham, a sure possession to bury in, of
the sons of Heth.
Chapter .xxiiij.
Abraham was old and stricken in days, and the LORD had blessed him
in all things. And he said unto his eldest servant of his house
which had the rule over all that he had: Put thy hand under my
thigh that I may make thee swear by the LORD that is God of heaven
and God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son,
of the daughters of the Cananites, among which I dwell. But shalt
go unto my country and to my kindred, and there take a wife unto
my son Isaac. Then said the servant unto him: what and if the
woman will not agree to come with me unto this land, shall I bring
thy son again unto the land which thou camest out of? And Abraham
said unto him: beware of that, that thou bring not my son thither.
The LORD God of heaven which took me from my father's house and
from the land where I was born, and which spake unto me and sware
unto me saying: unto thy seed will I give this land, he shall send
his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife unto my son
from thence.
