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 hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, men servants and women servants, camels and asses.
36
And Sara, my master’s wife, hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had.
37
And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38
But thou shalt go to my father’s house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son:
39
But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me?
