Genesis 24:56

And he said unto them, hinder me not
Do not detain me, let me set forward on my journey: seeing, the Lord hath prospered my way;
succeeded him in what he came about; and by his being succeeded so well, and so soon, it seemed to be the mind of the Lord that he should hasten his journey homeward: send me away, that I may go to my master;
and carry him the good news of his success, and attend his domestic affairs, over which he was set.
