He said to the senior servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had,“ Put your hand under my thigh.

The best servant in his house was in charge of everything Abraham had. Abraham said to him,“ Put your hand under my thigh.

And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had charge of all that he had,“ Put your hand under my thigh,

Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his household who managed all he owned,“ Place your hand under my thigh,

Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household who was in charge of all that he owned,“ Please place your hand under my thigh,

So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had,“ Please, put your hand under my thigh,

And Abraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had,“ Please put your hand under my thigh.

As the time of his death drew near, Jacob called for his son Joseph and said to him,“ Please do me this favor. Put your hand under my thigh and swear that you will treat me with unfailing love by honoring this last request: Do not bury me in Egypt.

This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned.From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished.So Potiphar gave Joseph complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned. With Joseph there, he didn’t worry about a thing— except what kind of food to eat! Joseph was a very handsome and well built young man,

But Abram replied,“ O Sovereign Lord, what good are all your blessings when I don’t even have a son? Since you’ve given me no children, Eliezer of Damascus, a servant in my household, will inherit all my wealth.

Elders who do their work well should be respected and paid well, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching.

All the officials, the warriors, and the sons of King David pledged their loyalty to King Solomon.

So the servant took an oath by putting his hand under the thigh of his master, Abraham. He swore to follow Abraham’s instructions.Then he loaded ten of Abraham’s camels with all kinds of expensive gifts from his master, and he traveled to distant Aram naharaim. There he went to the town where Abraham’s brother Nahor had settled.

When his brothers were ready to leave, Joseph gave these instructions to his palace manager:“ Fill each of their sacks with as much grain as they can carry, and put each man’s money back into his sack.

But Joseph refused.“ Look,” he told her,“ my master trusts me with everything in his entire household.No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.”
