In Genesis 24:2, Abraham says to his servant "put your hand under my thigh". What is that all about?
Please give whatever levels of interpretation (PARDES) that apply.
I think "thigh" is actually a euphemism for his reproductive organ. Avraham had circumcised himself, and that mitzvah gave that part of his anatomy the status of a holy object - so when Avraham needed his servant Eliezer to take an oath, he had him swear on that.
The commentaries say that our forefathers kept the entire Torah even before it was revealed in full at Mt. Sinai. So the obvious question is, why not have Eliezer take a vow on Avraham's tefillin, or on a mezuzah, or something? Placing his hand "under Avraham's thigh" isn't exactly a modest gesture. But since the majority of the commandments weren't given, the objects associated with them did not have the elevated status of being associated with commandments. Avraham's circumcision, however, was in response to a direct order from G-d. Therefore it was the only suitable object for an oath.
I hope this helps, and as always, when confused, please consult with your LOR (Local Orthodox Rabbi).
