Cross-References
Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (Haran's son), and his daughter-in-law Sarai (Abram's wife) and moved out of Ur of Babylonia. They had planned to go to the land of Canaan, but when they reached the city of Haran, they settled there.
Abraham said to his oldest servant, who was in charge of everything he owned, "Put your hand under my leg.
Instead, go back to my country, to the land of my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac."
The servant said to him, "What if this woman does not want to return with me to this land? Then, should I take your son with me back to your homeland?"
Abraham said to him, "No! Don't take my son back there.
If the girl won't come back with you, you will be free from this promise. But you must not take my son back there."
So the servant put his hand under his master's leg and made a promise to Abraham about this.
The servant took ten of Abraham's camels and left, carrying with him many different kinds of beautiful gifts. He went to Northwest Mesopotamia to Nahor's city.
After the camels had finished drinking, he gave Rebekah a gold ring weighing one-fifth of an ounce and two gold arm bracelets weighing about four ounces each.
He asked, "Who is your father? Is there a place in his house for me and my men to spend the night?"
Gill's Notes on the Bible
When thou dost lend thy brother anything,.... Any sum of money he stands in need of, or demanded a debt of him, as Jarchi; money he is indebted to thee, which is the sense of the Septuagint version; and he is not able to pay it, but offers something: in pawn till he can pay it:
thou shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge; which would be an exercise of too much power and authority, to go into a neighbour's house, and take what was liked; and besides, as no doubt he would take the best, so he might take that which the poor man could not spare: and indeed, according to the Jewish canons k, he could not take any pledge at all, but with the knowledge, and by the leave, of the sanhedrim, or court of judicature.
k Misn. Bava Metzia, c. 9. sect. 13.
