37
My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell,
38
but you shall go to my father's house and to my clan and take a wife for my son.'
39
I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'
40
But he said to me, 'The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with you and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my clan and from my father's house.
