Commentary on Genesis 24:4

Theological / Devotional

Unto my country. Not to Ur of the Chaldees but to Haran, both of which were in Mesopotamia. Though not free from idolatry, Abraham’s relatives there preserved to some extent the knowledge and worship of the true God (see Genesis 31:19; Joshua 24:2; Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 171). Therefore a daughter-in-law from among them seemed far preferable to one from among the degraded Canaanites.
