📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Middle Eastern culture, placing one's hand under another person's thigh was a solemn way of making an oath, often involving matters of family lineage and inheritance. This was the most serious form of promise-making in Abraham's time, similar to swearing on a Bible in court today. The 'matter' refers to Abraham's request that his servant find a wife for Isaac from Abraham's homeland rather than from the local Canaanite people.
