← Genesis 24:6	Genesis 24:7 (KJV)	Genesis 24:8 →
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.	The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.	And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
