GOD in the Old Testament - Part 13

Genesis 24:1-4 

    Abraham was now very old, and the LORD had blessed him in every way. He said to the senior servant in his household, the one in charge of all he had, "Put your hand under my thigh. I want you to swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living, but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac."

 

Genesis 24:6-7  

    "Make sure that you do not take my son back there," Abraham said. "The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me out of my father's household and my native land and who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, 'To your offspring I will give this land'--he will send an angel before you so that you can get a wife for my son from there." 

 

Genesis 24:12-14  

    Then he prayed, "LORD, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. May it be that when I say to a young woman, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, "Drink, and I'll water your camels too'--let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master." 

 

Genesis 24:26-27  

    Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD, saying, "Praise be to the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on a journey to the house of my master's relatives."

 

Genesis 24:42  

    "When I came to the spring today, I said, 'LORD, God of my master Abraham, if you will, please grant success to the journey on which I have come."  

 

Genesis 24:47-48  

    "I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?'

    "She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milkah bore to him.'

    "Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms; and I bowed down and worshiped the LORD. I praised the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master's brother for his son."  (see all Genesis 24) 

 

Genesis 25:11  

After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who then lived near Beer Lahai Roi.  (see all Genesis 25)
