[Avodah] A Question About Yitzchok Taking a Canaanite Wife

[T613K at aol.com]

I wrote:  >>Rashi says that if Eliezer couldn't bring back  a wife for 
Yitzchak from Avraham's family, then he was to find a wife for  Yitzchak from 
the daughters of Aner, Eshkol or Mamre.  They were not of  Canaanite stock.  
I'm not sure but I think they were  Shemites.<<
 
Of course I was mistaken.  Aner, Eshkol and Mamre were Amorites --  
descendants of Canaan.  If Eliezer had not found a suitable wife for  Yitzchak in 
Aram, or she wasn't willing to come to E'Y, then Yitzchak would  indeed have 
married a Canaanite woman.
