OOOH! IS THAT A NOSE RING?

Posted on July 9, 2023July 16, 2023

Abraham was nearing the end of his life and Isaac didn’t have a wife yet.  Abraham did not want his son to marry a Canaanite woman.  It was customary for parents chose the spouses for their children and Isaac had waited patiently but he was nearly forty years old.  While it was common practice to marry within a family group, it was an added advantage for Abraham as Isaac would not be marrying a pagan. Abraham wanted to be obedient to God, not only in who Isaac married but in where she came from.  Abraham did not want Isaac to leave to go search for wife himself.  He needed Isaac to stay where he was.  So, Abraham entrusted the task to Eliezer, a life-long servant of Abraham’s.
