One day Abraham said to his oldest servant, the man in charge of his household,“ Take an oath by putting your hand under my thigh.Swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not allow my son to marry one of these local Canaanite women.Go instead to my homeland, to my relatives, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.”The servant asked,“ But what if I can’t find a young woman who is willing to travel so far from home? Should I then take Isaac there to live among your relatives in the land you came from?”

Those false teachers are so eager to win your favor, but their intentions are not good. They are trying to shut you off from me so that you will pay attention only to them.If someone is eager to do good things for you, that’s all right; but let them do it all the time, not just when I’m with you.Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I’m going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives.

The woman who had been Rebekah’s childhood nurse went along with her.They gave her this blessing as she parted:“ Our sister, may you become the mother of many millions! May your descendants be strong and conquer the cities of their enemies.”Then Rebekah and her servant girls mounted the camels and followed the man. So Abraham’s servant took Rebekah and went on his way.Meanwhile, Isaac, whose home was in the Negev, had returned from Beer lahai roi.One evening as he was walking and meditating in the fields, he looked up and saw the camels coming.When Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac, she quickly dismounted from her camel.“ Who is that man walking through the fields to meet us?” she asked the servant. And he replied,“ It is my master.” So Rebekah covered her face with her veil.Then the servant told Isaac everything he had done.And Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah’s tent, and she became his wife. He loved her deeply, and she was a special comfort to him after the death of his mother.

I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing.

And you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children.
