📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of Abraham, it was a customary practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures for servants to swear oaths by placing their hand under their master's thigh, symbolizing loyalty and the continuation of the family lineage through descendants. This specific act occurred as Abraham's servant was being commissioned to find a wife for Isaac from Abraham's relatives, ensuring the fulfillment of God's covenant promises to Abraham's family. Such oaths were a serious and binding ritual that reflected the patriarchal society's emphasis on honor and familial obligations.
