1Lastly, his devotion shows it self in his religious taking of an oath himself to Laban, and ministering it to his son Joseph, as you see Gen. 31.53. He sware by the fear of Isaac, he was careful to keep him to the true God, and swearing by him, and that seriously, and on a just occasion, not lightly and vainly; and Gen. 47.29. He did most religiously minister an oath to Joseph, to bury him in the Land of Canaan, (a type of heaven,) as Abraham had done to his servant before, making him put his hand under his thigh; of which I cannot give you a certain and infallible reason, whether the gesture were to show subjection to him to whom he swore, or respect to the promised seed that was to come out of those loins: I cannot assure you, but I pray you learn to reverence an oath by this Example, and to use it upon due and weighty occasions, and in a due and reverend manner.
