“Make sure that you do not take my son back there,” Abraham said. Genesis 24:6
Twice Abraham commands his chief servant Eliezer not to take Isaac back to his home country to meet the family. God had “taken” or removed Abraham from his family of idol worshippers and led him into a land of promise.* There’s no way that Abraham wants his son Isaac, the son of promise, to go back there. That would be like leaving freedom behind for slavery.
Isaac is to stay in the land God has given him.
