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 LORDE hath blessed my master out of measure that he is become greate and hath geven him shepe oxen syluer and golde menservauntes maydeservauntes camels ad asses.
36
And Sara my masters wyfe bare him a sonne whe she was olde: and vnto him hath he geven all that he hath.
37
And my master made me swere saynge: Thou shalt not take a wyfe to my sonne amonge the doughters of the cananytes in whose lade I dwell.
38
But thou shalt goo vnto my fathers house and to my kynred and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne.
39
And I sayde vnto my master. What yf the wyfe will not folowe me?
