פירוש על בראשית 24:5

PERADVENTURE THE WOMAN WILL NOT BE WILLING. The meaning [of the definite article in the word ha’ishah] is that it refers to “the woman to whom I will speak of all the women there”, or it may mean the woman who is fit for Isaac.

?ההשב אשיב את בנך, to the land of your ancestors? He meant that even though he might not find there any members of Avraham’s former family. He still referred to this as a השבה “a return.”

אשר יצאת משם, a place which you had despised. If I now swear to you to take a wife from there and the girl I choose refuses to come here, my betrothing her to your son will obligate him to fulfill his conjugal duties including living with her as husband and wife. If he refuses to join her there he will have become guilty of betrayal of his bride. Shall I really bring him back there?
