Genesis 24:39 In-Context

37 My master made me give him my word: ‘Don't choose a wife for my son from the Canaanite women, in whose land I'm living.
38 No, instead, go to my father's household and to my relatives and choose a wife for my son.'
39 I said to my master, ‘What if the woman won't come back with me?'
40 He said to me, ‘The LORD, whom I've traveled with everywhere, will send his messenger with you and make your trip successful; and you will choose a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father's household.
41 If you go to my relatives, you will be free from your obligation to me. Even if they provide no one for you, you will be free from your obligation to me.'
