Abraham feared God and did not want the world to enter into his house. So he called his chief servant and made him swear that he would not take a wife for Isaac from the Canaanites, but go to his own family and fetch a wife from there. How was this servant to know who the right wife would be? There were so many possibities. Without God it was impossible. But with God it was easy. This matter is very important. If a young man makes a mistake concerning his marriage partner, it will bring him grief for the rest of his life.
