and=he/it_assigned the,servant DOM his/its=hand below/instead_of thigh ʼAⱱrāhām master,his

See how you translated a similar clause in verse 2. Also, in that culture, people owned servants and had complete authority over them. Make sure your translation of master and servant does not imply that the servant was mistreated. Servants were treated well, could hold important positions and were often considered as members of the master’s family. See how you translated a related term “mistress/owner” in Gen 16:4, 8-9.

וַ⁠יִּשָּׁ֣בַֽע ל֔⁠וֹ

and,swore to=him/it

See how you translated swore in verse 7 and “swear” in verse 3. Alternate translation: “and made an vow to him” or “and made an unbreakable promise to him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עַל הַ⁠דָּבָ֖ר הַ⁠זֶּֽה

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,matter the,this

Some languages need to make explicit what this matter refers to. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “that he would do what he had told him to do.” or “that he would go find a wife for Isaac.”
