And my master made me swear (See Gill on Genesis 24:3). In ( Genesis 24:37-41 ) , the servant relates the oath his master made him take, and the charge he gave him, much in the same language as in ( Genesis 24:3-8 ) .
35
And Jehovah has blessed my master greatly, and he is become great; and he has given him sheep and cattle, and silver and gold, and bondmen and bondwomen, and camels and asses.
36
And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master after she had grown old; and unto him has he given all that he has.
37
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling;
38
but thou shalt by all means go to my father's house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.
39
And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me?
