Abram was scared of Isaac going back to Heran (as a detour). Abram's father, Tetra, was supposed to go to Canann but he ended up staying in Heran. Throughout his life, Abram probably watched his father grow further from God, slowly slip away. In order to protect Isaac from the same fate his father had, he insisted that his servant not bring Isaac away. His response is animated and eager, he feels strongly about it. (Genesis 24:6-9)
We learn from the mistakes of those we around us.
