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 the LORD has blessed my master greatly, and he is become great; and he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold and menslaves and maidslaves and camels and asses.
36
And Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old, unto whom he has given all that he has.
37
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell;
38
but thou shalt go unto my father’s house and to my kindred and take from there a wife for my son.
39
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
