9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him these things.

10 And the servant took ten camels from his master's camels, and went. In his hands were also all the treasures of his master. And he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor;

11 And he stopped the camels outside the city, by a well of water, in the evening, while the women go out to draw [water],
