Chapter XXII: Act I: Scene I

PLACE: Abraham's tent in Canaan.

Abraham is lying down in his tent. He is talking to Isaac,
his son, about the wife he wishes him to have. He calls a
servant and bids him go to Mesopotamia, his old home, and
bring a wife for Isaac from his own kinsfolk. Abraham makes
the servant swear that he will do as he has been told.
Perhaps Abraham has his hand on Isaac while he is talking,
and Isaac will take some small part in the conversation.
