01:023:016 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to
Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of
Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
01:023:017 And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was
before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the
trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about,
were made sure
01:023:018 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the
children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
01:023:019 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of
the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of
Canaan.
01:023:020 And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure
unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
01:024:001 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD
had blessed Abraham in all things.
01:024:002 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that
ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
01:024:003 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven,
and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son
of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
01:024:004 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and
take a wife unto my son Isaac.
01:024:005 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will
not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son
again unto the land from whence thou camest?
01:024:006 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not
my son thither again.
01:024:007 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.
01:024:008 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.
01:024:009 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his
master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
01:024:010 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master,
and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he
arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
01:024:011 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a
well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go
out to draw water.
01:024:012 And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee,
send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
01:024:013 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters
