203 A Wife for Isaac

Genesis 24:1-67, TBC Book One, Chapter 17
A time of great mourning had now fallen upon Abraham, Isaac, and their entire household. At age 127, Sarah passed away. Isaac was now 37. He had been very close to both his mother and father. An emptiness pierced his soul as he sat alone and pictured her warm smile of approval.

Abraham often thought of how God had blessed him with his beautiful wife. Now he wanted that same joy for his son. So he called his most trusted servant.

“Put your hand under my thigh to take an oath. You must find a wife for Isaac. Swear that the woman you select will not be from the Canaanites, but from my own relatives.”

“What if she is not willing to come?” he asked. “Should I then take your son there?”

“No,” Abraham said, “you must not. The Lord will send his angel before you to guide you. . . .”
