Midrasz do Rodzaju 24:6
וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו אַבְרָהָ֑ם הִשָּׁ֣מֶר לְךָ֔ פֶּן־תָּשִׁ֥יב אֶת־בְּנִ֖י שָֽׁמָּה׃
I rzekł do niego Abraham: "Strzeż się, abyś nie zaprowadził syna mojego tam!"
Sefer HaYashar (midrash)
And Abraham said unto him: Beware thou, that thou bring not my son thither again. The Lord before whom I have walked will send his angel before thee to make thy way a success. And Eliezer did according to Abraham's orders and Eliezer swore unto Abraham, his master, concerning this matter. And Eliezer arose and took ten camels of the camels of his father, and ten men from the servants of his master he took likewise, and they departed for Haran, the city of Abraham and Nahor, to bring thence a wife for Isaac the son of Abraham. And while they were gone Abraham sent to the house of Shem and Eber, and they brought thence his son Isaac. And Isaac came back to his father's house in Beer-sheba at the same time that Eliezer and his men arrived in Haran. And they stopped in the city near the watering place, and Eliezer made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of wa ter, and they remained there; and Eliezer, the servant of Abraham, prayed, saying: O, Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham, and appoint this day a wife for the son of my master from his own family. And the Lord hearkened to Eliezer's voice for the sake of his servant Abraham, and he happened to meet the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, and Eliezer came into her house. And Eliezer related unto them all his affairs, and that he was the servant of Abraham, and they were greatly rejoiced with him; and all of them blessed the Lord for bringing about this event, and they gave him Rebekah, Bethuel's daughter, to be the wife of Isaac, and the young maiden was very comely of appearance; she was a virgin and ten years old at that time. And Bethuel, and Laban and his children, made a great feast that night, and Eliezer and his men came and ate and drank and were exceedingly rejoiced that night; and in the morning Eliezer and his men arose and he called the whole household together, saying: Let me depart now that I go to my master. And they arose and sent away Rebekah, and her nurse Deborah, daughter of Uz, with her. And they gave her silver and gold, and men servants and maid servants, and they blessed her. Thus they sent away Eliezer with his men and the servants that took Rebekah, and he went and returned unto his master into the land of Canaan. And Isaac took Rebekah and she was unto him a wife, and he brought her into the tent, and Isaac was forty years of age when he took Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel, his uncle, for a wife.
