SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:3
y te juramentaré por el SEÑOR, Dios de los cielos y Dios de la tierra, que no has de tomar mujer para mi hijo de las hijas de los cananeos, entre los cuales yo habito;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 24:3
Verse 3. I will make thee swear] See note on ""ver. 9"". Of the Canaanites] Because these had already been devoted to slavery, &c., and it would have been utterly inconsistent as well with prudence as with the design of God to have united the child and heir of the promise with one who was under a curse, though that curse might be considered to be only of a political nature. See the curse of Canaan, chap. ix. 25.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - The effect of good example, good teaching, and the worship of God in family, will generally appear in the piety, faithfulness, prudence, an affection of the servants. To live in such families, or to have suc servants, both are blessings from God which should be highly valued and thankfully acknowledged. But no concern in life is of greate importance to ourselves, to others, or to the church of God, tha marriage. It therefore ought always to be undertaken with much care an prudence, especially with reference to the will of God, and with praye for his direction and blessing. Where good parents are not consulte and regarded, the blessing of God cannot be expected. Parents, in disposing of their children, should carefully consult the welfare of their souls, and their furtherance in the way to heaven. Observe the charge Abraham gave to a good servant, one whose conduct, faithfulness and affection, to him and his family, he had long known. Observe also that Abraham remembers that God had wonderfully brought him out of the land of his birth, by the call of his grace; and therefore doubts no but He will prosper his care, not to bring his son thither again. God will cause that to end in our comfort, in which we sincerely aim at his glory.
