Genesis 24:4

But you shall go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
All Commentaries on Genesis 24:4 Go To Genesis 24

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
Country. Haran, where Abraham had dwelt with Thare There Nachor's family still resided, and had more respect for the true God than the Chanaanites, (Haydock) though they gave way to some sort of idolatry. (Menochius) Hence Abraham was in hopes that a partner worthy of Isaac, might be found among his relations, better than among those devoted nations; and thus he has left an instruction to all parents, to be solicitous for the real welfare of their children; and to dissuade them earnestly from marrying with infidels; a thing which God forbade in the old law, as the Church still does in the new. (Haydock)
