Bible Question: What did Abraham asked the servant to make an oath about?this is found in Gen.chapter 24

Bible Answer: Abraham was aware that the character of the Canaanites was declining , and he knew through revelation that they were destined for ruin, and therefore he felt he could not marry his son among them.

In his wisdom, Abraham decided this matter was able to be settled between him and his servant with great caution and under a solemn oath. The servant was bound by an oath to do his utmost to bring a wife to Isaac.
