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
Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, men-servants and maid-servants, and camels and donkeys.
36
Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
37
My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
38
but you shall go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.'
39
I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'
