Genesis 24:38 In-Context

36 My master's wife Sarah gave birth to a son for my master in her old age, and he's given him everything he owns.

37 My master made me give him my word: ‘Don't choose a wife for my son from the Canaanite women, in whose land I'm living.

38 No, instead, go to my father's household and to my relatives and choose a wife for my son.'

39 I said to my master, ‘What if the woman won't come back with me?'

40 He said to me, ‘The LORD, whom I've traveled with everywhere, will send his messenger with you and make your trip successful; and you will choose a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father's household.
